Boston's first. Greatest rock album ever made, although Zep 1V And Beatle's Sgt. Pepper's are right behind.

[itzmygun]

Genesis (when they had Peter Gabriel) - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway

When I listened to that album, it changed my musical tastes forever.

Blue-eyed BUMP for the greatest entertainer in human history.

[LasVegasMac]

I'm glad I read the posts - I would have added all you did except the Cars - forgot about them.

The kids (4 and 8) are taking a nap now. Dad feels like playing some music now - loudly.

I'm sure they will get over it.

What a great Saturday!

[LasVegasMac]

...The Eagles... *Sigh* No offence, but castrated males screeching has never been my idea of entertainment. I, for one, was happy to see that "style" fade away...

No offence, but if you think the Eagles "screech" I'm sure you were glad to see "that" style fade.

By the way, what is your "style"?

Lemme guess.....

Beethoven - Mozart - Bach or Chopin?

Duke Ellington or Glen Miller?

No slight intended towards above mentioned musicians - just curious as to what your "style" is.

The only Eagles I've heard "screech" were the winged type. Might be time to have that stereo checked out!

[Mr. Mojo]

44. The Band - The Band (1969)
45. Neil Young - Tonight's The Night (1975)

It's pretty tough to beat those two.

[Gillmeister]

UH......AC / DC "Back in Black"? How could you not post the greatest Hard Rock album of all time!

[BluesDuke]

In a top 100 list, the only Dead album which really should rate is a tossup between Aoxomoxoa and Live Dead.
