Abbey Road was the eleventh official album released by The Beatles. Although its release preceded that of Let It Be, it was the last to be recorded, and is therefore widely considered as the band's swan song. It was released on September 26, 1969 in the UK and October 1, 1969 in the US. It was produced and orchestrated by George Martin for Apple Records. Geoff Emerick was the engineer and Tony Banks tape operator. It is considered one of the Beatles' most tightly constructed and praised albums. from jpupier

    Led Zep is definitely one of the most successful and legendary rock bands ever. I remember listening to Robert Plant's haunting interpretation of "Stairway to Heaven" in the 1970s. The band's lead guitarist, Jim Page, is also regarded as one of the greatest of all time. from quick24

    The Wall is a 1979 rock opera and iconic concept album by Pink Floyd. Hailed by critics and fans as one of Pink Floyd's best albums (along with Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, and The Piper at the Gates of Dawn), the album is known as a rock and roll classic, and its morbid, depressing anthems have inspired many contemporary rock musicians. Ultimately, this was the last studio Pink Floyd album to feature Richard Wright until his return in 1987. from jpupier

    Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is the eighth album by The Beatles. It is often cited as the most influential rock album of all time by prominent critics and publications, including Rolling Stone (which put it atop their 500 'Greatest Albums' list in 2003). It was recorded by The Beatles over a 129-day period beginning on December 6, 1966. The album was released on June 1, 1967 in the United Kingdom and on June 2, 1967 in the United States. from jpupier

    Who can forget a classic band such as Led Zeppelin!? This combines some of the best musicians to ever live, e.g. Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, etc. One listen to one of their hits, such as Stairway to Heaven, puts you in a great mood, with this half acoustic-half rock song! That shows their diversity... What other band does rock, acoustic, metal, and folk all in one album? They will live forever, regardless if they're not together, from btroisi13

    I had this album the day it came out. Guns n Roses was the hottest band in the clubs before this album debuted, and I knew them well. At the time I was going to UCLA, and I would play it at ear numbing volume in my apartment which I shared with ... from michaelfidler - liked from arvind's entry

    I was living in London when Proud Mary was top of the charts and it takes me back to when I was young and life was ahead of me. Now I look back it was wonderful. from millionairemumma - liked from sittonbull's entry

    Rubber Soul is the sixth album by English rock band The Beatles, first released in December 1965. It was recorded in just over four weeks to make the Christmas market, and was a major achievement, with reviewers taking note of The Beatles' developing musical vision. Like most Beatles albums, the record was produced by George Martin and achieved widespread commercial success. from jpupier

    Zeppelin made better albums, but this was the big one. It's the album that everyone owned, along with Dark Side of the Moon. from djaef

    One of those defining albums that makes folks claim that "music was never the same again". Maybe that's an exaggeration but it's still a great album. from macro1970 - liked from madmojo's entry

    went to see these guys in concert almost against my will but enjoyed the music so much that I was playing their cd constantly for the next year. from pratima

    Dire Straits fantastic beautiful playing wonderful music. Mark Knofler have a gift in playing guitar that produce unique sound. His song 'Romeo and Juliet', 'Sultan of Swing' and 'Money for Nothing' had shaken the world in the History of Music. Whenever I listen to their music, always wanted me to grab my guitar and blow the sound. from isak

    With front man, Steven Tyler, they are fixtures in rock music. They have so many songs that will rock on forever, but my very favorites are "Walk This Way" and "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing". You can't listen to an Aerosmith song and not get up and dance. from surfette

    My high school colors were red and black. After this album came out, we changed our football uniforms to straight black. Awesome. from sameer - liked from michaelfidler's entry

    The Who, playing in my neighbourhood, back in 1970. The stand-out tracks for me are "Magic Bus" and "Young Man Blues". On the later, Daltrey is at his roaring finest. from johnnobi

    Whether on the radio or television, you will hear some of their songs every day. A unique sound and blend with the magic of Stevie Nicks vocals. My favorite album is Rumors. from surfette

    Favorite rock band. Probably because some of their songs are very influenced by folk music. Nice to see Robert Plant continue to make great music and win grammys. from pratima - liked from gaurav_roy's entry

    Best ever country, blues and rock and roll in the early eighties when life was pretty free-flowing from topchef7 - liked from cbellevie's entry
