The Greatest 10 Rock Albums


That stalwart over at Cultural Offerings had the stones to humbly declare before the gods of rock (and his many readers) what he believes are the Greatest 10 Rock albums of all time. After reviewing, I would actually include 4 of his picks for my list. They are just that good. My man often posts some extremely good YouTubes of performances and music he likes.

I am not in any way ready to set my list (I get 6 more!) in digital stone, so stay tuned. Rock on.

How can anybody presume to make such a list? I'll be interested to read yours, which I hope you will call, "My 10 Favorite Rock Albums."

Ralph, For you... anything. You working on your list?

I would humbly submit that there is a difference between someone's 10 favorite rock albums and what someone would consider to be the 10 greatest rock albums. Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon is not one of my 50 favorite rock albums, let alone 10 favorites. However it is arguably one of the 10 greatest rock albums. We must endeavor to pursue greatness. Enjoy.

Cultural Offering: the key word in your comment is "someone." Such a list is of necessity objective, informed by individual taste. But whatever...it's all great music in its own way, and the more varied thie lists, the more there is to listen to!
