    5) Eat a Peach -- Allman Brothers
    4) From the Cradle --Eric Clapton
    3) Red-headed Stranger -- Willie Nelson
    2) Nashville Skyline -- Bob Dylan
    1) Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band -- Beatles
    Interesting , I personally think Pepper has dated somewhat especially the George Harrison "eastern " stuff on the album. Very country orientated , surprised you would pick Nashville above John Wesley Harding album. I too was tempted with the stones in top 10 though I would have gone with Exile.Good selection I'll give Willie Nelson a try.

      Very blues orientated. My Dad saw Jeff Beck live in the 70s he stormed off stage because his string snapped. I love Goin Home on the 10 years after album ( Alvin Lee great )

      Dark Side in top 20 for me as I don't particularly like concept albums.Electric landlady I appreciate but am not too keen on the production.

    Hey Darren -Cool Topic Idea!

    Too hard to choose 10, so here's my Dirty Dozen! I couldn't leave Rock royalty >>> The Beatles and Stones off the list could I? Well No I could not.

    I have seen all of these acts live except Meatloaf and the Beatles ...I did see Paul solo though and his band rocked!

    1). Highway to Hell - Ac/Dc
    2). British Steel - Judas Priest
    3). Heaven and Hell - Black Sabbath
    4). Physical Graffiti - Led Zeppelin
    5.) Rocks - Aerosmith
    6.) Fair Warning - Van Halen
    7.) Live Alive - Stevie Ray Vaughn
    8.) Bat out of Hell - Meatloaf
    9.) Love at First Sting - Scorpions
    10.) Who's Next - The Who
    11.) Exile on Main Street - The Rolling Stones
    12.) Revolver - The Beatles

    The order could change on any given day depending where my head is at.

    Hardrays Night,
    Sex Pistols would be top 20 for me Kinks about 30 ( greatest hits would be top20).Be here now isn't even Oasis best album!Nice heavy orientated choice from Gforce and oh how I wish Bon Scott could have sang Back in Black!Aerosmith I would go with Premenant Vacation as I prefer the well produced stuff by them.Scorpions World Wide live is great album but the Video of show is bit boring.You have Fair Warning over Van Halen Debut interesting.Exile on Main Street sometimes pushes in my own top 10.
    DJL some good choices though can't comment on King Crimson.I wish the White Album had been a single Album as I feel some of the tracks are average( but Beatles Average is better than most peoples songs).

    Great pick for #1! I love that album and it still sounds fresh 37 years later. If I had to pick just one Dylan album though, I think I would pick Blonde on Blonde or The Basement Tapes ( with The Band ) or Highway 61 Revisted. Hard choice really.

    but I must raise you one, my most treasured of all:

    #1 RAMONES ANTHOLOGY


    and I call you on

    Lloyd Banks - The Cold Corner 2 (mixtape but could have been an album)
    The Game - The Documentary

    Dr Dre - The Chronic

    I listen to more mixtapes than anything else, but as you can see, my list is VERY different from others posted.
