1
Aerosmith - 2 LPs
"Aerosmith" & "Get Your Wings" "Aerosmith" - Debut Album (2nd Pressing). In retrospect, it's a bit shocking how fully formed the signature Aerosmith sound was on their self-titled 1973 debut -- which may not be the same thing as best-executed, becau...

2
Aerosmith - "Rocks"
Few albums have been so appropriately named as Aerosmith's 1976 classic Rocks. Despite hard drug use escalating among bandmembers, Aerosmith produced a superb follow-up to their masterwork Toys in the Attic, nearly topping it in the process. Many Aer...

3
Aerosmith - "Toys in the Attic"
After nearly getting off the ground with Get Your Wings, Aerosmith finally perfected their mix of Stonesy raunch and Zeppelin-esque riffing with their third album, Toys in the Attic. The success of the album derives from a combination of an increased...

4
Alice Cooper - 2 LPs
"Love it to Death" and "Billion Dollar Babies" Alice Cooper's third album, Love It to Death, can be pinpointed as the release when everything began to come together for the band. Their first couple of albums (Pretties for You and Easy Action) were b...

5
Asia - "Asia"
Debut Album. This marriage of four players with impressive pedigrees proved to be the success story of 1982 when Asia's debut lodged itself at the top of the U.S. album charts for two months. The album spawned a massive number four single in "Heat of...

6
Atomic Rooster - 2 LPs
"In Hearing Of" & "Made in England" "In Hearing Of" - Much less bombastic than the band's earlier releases, In Hearing Of is almost funky at times, with "The Devil's Answer" sounding like a meeting between Memphis soul and British rock. The lyrics a...

7
Billy Cobham - "Spectrum"
Drummer Billy Cobham was fresh from his success with the Mahavishnu Orchestra when he recorded his debut album, which is still his best. Most of the selections showcase Cobham in a quartet with keyboardist Jan Hammer, guitarist Tommy Bolin, and elect...

8
Billy Joel - 3 LPs
"The Stranger" & "Glass Houses" & "An Innocent Man" "The Stranger" - Billy Joel teamed with Phil Ramone, a famed engineer who had just scored his first producing hits with Art Garfunkel's Breakaway and Paul Simon's Still Crazy After All These Years ...

9
Boston - "Boston"
Boston is one of the best-selling albums of all time, and deservedly so. Because of the rise of disco and punk, FM rock radio seemed all but dead until the rise of acts like Boston, Tom Petty, and Bruce Springsteen. Nearly every song on Boston's debu...

10
Captain Beyond - "Captain Beyond"
Captain Beyond is a one-of-a-kind progressive album with rock, heavy metal, and jazz influences with a "space rock" lyrical bend. Formed by former members of Deep Purple (Rod Evans, vocals), Iron Butterfly (Rhino, lead guitar, and Lee Dorman, bass), ...

"in Rock", "Purple Passages", "Machine Head" & "Who Do We Think We Are" "in Rock" - After satisfying all of their classical music kinks with keyboard player Jon Lord's overblown Concerto for Group and Orchestra, Deep Purple's soon to be classic Mark...

12
Dire Straits - "Dire Straits"
Dire Straits' minimalist interpretation of pub rock had already crystallized by the time they released their eponymous debut. Driven by Mark Knopfler's spare, tasteful guitar lines and his husky warbling, the album is a set of bluesy rockers. And whi...

13
ELF - "L.A./59"
For some reason, the second Elf record, 1974's Carolina County Ball, was released under the title L.A./59 in the United States and Japan, while the more widely accepted title was used in the U.K. and Europe. The Ronnie James Dio-led outfit was becomi...

14
Emerson, Lake & Palmer - "Brain Salad Surgery"
Emerson, Lake & Palmer's most successful and well-realized album (after their first), and their most ambitious as a group, as well as their loudest, Brain Salad Surgery was also the most steeped in electronic sounds of any of their records. The main ...

15
Fleetwood Mac - 2 LPs
"Penguin" & "Fleetwood Mac" "Penguin" - Fleetwood Mac's first album made after the departure of Danny Kirwan features the additions of guitarist Bob Weston and singer Dave Walker. By now Bob Welch and Christine McVie were the dominant forces in the ...

16
Foreigner - "Double Vision"
Foreigner promptly followed up its blockbuster debut with the equally successful Double Vision LP in 1978, which featured the FM mega-hits "Hot Blooded" and the driving title track. Opting not to mess with a good formula, the band wisely sticks to th...

17
Gary Wright - "The Dream Weaver"
No one expected the success of Dream Weaver when it was released, but it sailed to the top of the charts, and with good reason. Backed with only drums and a wide assortment of keyboards, Gary Wright crafted instantly recognizable tunes such as the ti...

18
Go-Go's - "Beauty and the Beat"
It’s not quite right to say that the Go-Go’s' 1981 debut, Beauty and the Beat, is where new wave caught hold in the U.S., but it’s not quite wrong, either. Prior to this, there had certainly been new wave hits -- Blondie had been reaching the T...

19
Herbie Hancock - 3 LPs
"Sextant", "Head Hunters" & "Thrust" "Sextant" - When Herbie Hancock left Warner Bros. in 1971 after releasing three musically sound but critically and commercially underappreciated albums -- The Crossing, Mwandishi, and Fat Albert's Groove -- he wa...

20
Jefferson Airplane - "Worst of Jefferson Airplane"
Its smirky title notwithstanding, The Worst of Jefferson Airplane provides a fine recap of the band's first six albums. Released in 1970 shortly before Marty Balin's initial departure from the band, the album marked not only the end of the decade but...

21
Jethro Tull - "Living in the Past"
Listen to this collection, put together to capitalize on the explosive growth in the group's audience after Aqualung, and it's easy to understand just how fine a group Jethro Tull was in the early '70s. Most of the songs, apart from a few heavily pla...

22
Jimi Hendrix - 3 LPs
"The Cry Of Love", "The Genius of Jimi Hendrix" & "Crash Landing" "The Cry Of Love" - This was the first of the posthumous releases in the Jimi Hendrix catalog and probably the best as it collected most of the studio tracks that were either complete...

23
The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experience?

25
Journey - 2 LPs
"Journey (Debut Album)" & "Infinity" "Journey" - On their eponymous debut album, Journey were still trying to find their signature sound. They relied too much on prog rock, filling the album with meandering jazz-rock instrumentals that never quite c...

26
Kansas - 2 LPs
"Leftoverture" & "Point of Know Return" "Leftoverture" - For any art rock band, the fourth album means it's time for a self-styled masterpiece -- if you need proof, look at Selling England by the Pound or Fragile. So, with Kansas, the most determine...

27
KC & the Sunshine Band & Meat Loaf
KC and the Sunshine Band - "Who Do Ya (Love)" - "Both commercially and creatively, Who Do Ya Love was a step down for KC & the Sunshine Band. This 1978 LP followed 1976's Part 3, a superb album boasting four gems that reached the Top Five on Billboar...

28
Molly Hatchet - 2 LPs
"Flirtin' with Disaster" & "Beatin' the Odds" "Flirtin' with Disaster" - By the time Flirtin' with Disaster reached stores, the Hatchet were already bona fide forces to be reckoned with on the Southern rock circuit, with a fan base nearly on par wit...

29
Original Soundtracks - 2 LPs
Original Soundtracks "Heavy Metal" & "The Blues Brothers" "Original Soundtrack - Heavy Metal" - The title Heavy Metal is somewhat misleading. Sure, this terrific soundtrack from the 1981 animated cult favorite features heavy metal and hard rock num...

30
Ozzy Osbourne - "Blizzard of Ozz"
Cover of Alblum is spelled "Ozzy Ozbourne". Ozzy Osbourne's 1980 solo debut Blizzard of Ozz was a masterpiece of neo-classical metal that, along with Van Halen's first album, became a cornerstone of '80s metal guitar. Upon its release, there was con...

31
Pat Benatar - 4 LPs

33
Pink Floyd - "Wish You Were Here"

34
Robin Williams - "Reality…What a Concept"
Comic genius Robin Williams was riding high with his starring role on the hit television sitcom Mork & Mindy when he recorded 1979's Reality...What a Concept, his debut comedy album. It was recorded live at the Copacabana in New York City and the Boa...

35
Rush - 3 LPs
"Rush", "Fly By Night" & "2112" "Rush" - Rush's self-titled debut is about as uncharacteristic of their renowned heavy progressive rock (perfected on such future releases as Hemispheres, Moving Pictures, etc.) as you can get. Instead of complex arra...

36
Steve Miller Band & Ted Nugent
Steve Miller Band - "Book of Dreams" & Ted Nugent - "Ted Nugent" "Book of Dreams" - It is here, on this 1977 blockbuster, that Steve Miller shored up his "Space Cowboy" moniker and cosmic persona: from the winged horse on the album cover to a judici...

37
John Lennon - "Walls and Bridges"
Walls and Bridges was recorded during John Lennon's infamous "lost weekend," as he exiled himself in California during a separation from Yoko Ono. Lennon's personal life was scattered, so it isn't surprising that Walls and Bridges is a mess itself, c...

39
Thin Lizzy - "Jailbreak"
Thin Lizzy found their trademark twin-guitar sound on 1975's Fighting, but it was on its 1976 successor, Jailbreak, where the band truly took flight. Unlike the leap between Night Life and Fighting, there is not a great distance between Jailbreak and...

40
Tom Waits - 2 LPs
"Small Change" & "Foreign Affairs" "Small Change" - The fourth release in Tom Waits' series of skid row travelogues, Small Change proves to be the archetypal album of his '70s work. A jazz trio comprising tenor sax player Lew Tabackin, bassist Jim H...

41
Tommy Tutone - "Tommy Tutone-2"
Tommy Tutone's self-titled debut album was the work of a fine, no-nonsense rock & roll band with an admirable lack of pretense, but their second album upped the ante with its lead-off track, "867-5309/Jenny," a deserved hit single and the sort of kil...

42
ZZ Top - "Tres Hombres"
Tres Hombres is the record that brought ZZ Top their first Top Ten record, making them stars in the process. It couldn't have happened to a better record. ZZ Top finally got their low-down, cheerfully sleazy blooze-n-boogie right on this, their third...

Aerosmith - 2 LPs
"Aerosmith" & "Get Your Wings" "Aerosmith" - Debut Album (2nd Pressing). In retrospect, it's a bit shocking how fully formed the signature Aerosmith sound was on their self-titled 1973 debut -- which may not be the same thing as best-executed, becau...

2
Aerosmith - "Rocks"
Few albums have been so appropriately named as Aerosmith's 1976 classic Rocks. Despite hard drug use escalating among bandmembers, Aerosmith produced a superb follow-up to their masterwork Toys in the Attic, nearly topping it in the process. Many Aer...

Aerosmith - "Toys in the Attic"
After nearly getting off the ground with Get Your Wings, Aerosmith finally perfected their mix of Stonesy raunch and Zeppelin-esque riffing with their third album, Toys in the Attic. The success of the album derives from a combination of an increased...

Alice Cooper - 2 LPs
"Love it to Death" and "Billion Dollar Babies" Alice Cooper's third album, Love It to Death, can be pinpointed as the release when everything began to come together for the band. Their first couple of albums (Pretties for You and Easy Action) were b...

5
Asia - "Asia"
Debut Album. This marriage of four players with impressive pedigrees proved to be the success story of 1982 when Asia's debut lodged itself at the top of the U.S. album charts for two months. The album spawned a massive number four single in "Heat of...

6
Atomic Rooster - 2 LPs
"In Hearing Of" & "Made in England" "In Hearing Of" - Much less bombastic than the band's earlier releases, In Hearing Of is almost funky at times, with "The Devil's Answer" sounding like a meeting between Memphis soul and British rock. The lyrics a...

7
Billy Cobham - "Spectrum"
Drummer Billy Cobham was fresh from his success with the Mahavishnu Orchestra when he recorded his debut album, which is still his best. Most of the selections showcase Cobham in a quartet with keyboardist Jan Hammer, guitarist Tommy Bolin, and elect...

Billy Joel - 3 LPs
"The Stranger" & "Glass Houses" & "An Innocent Man" "The Stranger" - Billy Joel teamed with Phil Ramone, a famed engineer who had just scored his first producing hits with Art Garfunkel's Breakaway and Paul Simon's Still Crazy After All These Years ...

9
Boston - "Boston"
Boston is one of the best-selling albums of all time, and deservedly so. Because of the rise of disco and punk, FM rock radio seemed all but dead until the rise of acts like Boston, Tom Petty, and Bruce Springsteen. Nearly every song on Boston's debu...

10
Captain Beyond - "Captain Beyond"
Captain Beyond is a one-of-a-kind progressive album with rock, heavy metal, and jazz influences with a "space rock" lyrical bend. Formed by former members of Deep Purple (Rod Evans, vocals), Iron Butterfly (Rhino, lead guitar, and Lee Dorman, bass), ...

11
Deep Purple - 4 LPs
"in Rock", "Purple Passages", "Machine Head" & "Who Do We Think We Are" "in Rock" - After satisfying all of their classical music kinks with keyboard player Jon Lord's overblown Concerto for Group and Orchestra, Deep Purple's soon to be classic Mark...

12
Dire Straits - "Dire Straits"
Dire Straits' minimalist interpretation of pub rock had already crystallized by the time they released their eponymous debut. Driven by Mark Knopfler's spare, tasteful guitar lines and his husky warbling, the album is a set of bluesy rockers. And whi...

13
ELF - "L.A./59"
For some reason, the second Elf record, 1974's Carolina County Ball, was released under the title L.A./59 in the United States and Japan, while the more widely accepted title was used in the U.K. and Europe. The Ronnie James Dio-led outfit was becomi...

14
Emerson, Lake & Palmer - "Brain Salad Surgery"
Emerson, Lake & Palmer's most successful and well-realized album (after their first), and their most ambitious as a group, as well as their loudest, Brain Salad Surgery was also the most steeped in electronic sounds of any of their records. The main ...

15
Fleetwood Mac - 2 LPs
"Penguin" & "Fleetwood Mac" "Penguin" - Fleetwood Mac's first album made after the departure of Danny Kirwan features the additions of guitarist Bob Weston and singer Dave Walker. By now Bob Welch and Christine McVie were the dominant forces in the ...

16
Foreigner - "Double Vision"
Foreigner promptly followed up its blockbuster debut with the equally successful Double Vision LP in 1978, which featured the FM mega-hits "Hot Blooded" and the driving title track. Opting not to mess with a good formula, the band wisely sticks to th...

17
Gary Wright - "The Dream Weaver"
No one expected the success of Dream Weaver when it was released, but it sailed to the top of the charts, and with good reason. Backed with only drums and a wide assortment of keyboards, Gary Wright crafted instantly recognizable tunes such as the ti...

18
Go-Go's - "Beauty and the Beat"
It’s not quite right to say that the Go-Go’s' 1981 debut, Beauty and the Beat, is where new wave caught hold in the U.S., but it’s not quite wrong, either. Prior to this, there had certainly been new wave hits -- Blondie had been reaching the T...

19
Herbie Hancock - 3 LPs
"Sextant", "Head Hunters" & "Thrust" "Sextant" - When Herbie Hancock left Warner Bros. in 1971 after releasing three musically sound but critically and commercially underappreciated albums -- The Crossing, Mwandishi, and Fat Albert's Groove -- he wa...

20
Jefferson Airplane - "Worst of Jefferson Airplane"
Its smirky title notwithstanding, The Worst of Jefferson Airplane provides a fine recap of the band's first six albums. Released in 1970 shortly before Marty Balin's initial departure from the band, the album marked not only the end of the decade but...

21
Jethro Tull - "Living in the Past"
Listen to this collection, put together to capitalize on the explosive growth in the group's audience after Aqualung, and it's easy to understand just how fine a group Jethro Tull was in the early '70s. Most of the songs, apart from a few heavily pla...

22
Jimi Hendrix - 3 LPs
"The Cry Of Love", "The Genius of Jimi Hendrix" & "Crash Landing" "The Cry Of Love" - This was the first of the posthumous releases in the Jimi Hendrix catalog and probably the best as it collected most of the studio tracks that were either complete...

23
The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experience?

25
Journey - 2 LPs
"Journey (Debut Album)" & "Infinity" "Journey" - On their eponymous debut album, Journey were still trying to find their signature sound. They relied too much on prog rock, filling the album with meandering jazz-rock instrumentals that never quite c...

26
Kansas - 2 LPs
"Leftoverture" & "Point of Know Return" "Leftoverture" - For any art rock band, the fourth album means it's time for a self-styled masterpiece -- if you need proof, look at Selling England by the Pound or Fragile. So, with Kansas, the most determine...

27
KC & the Sunshine Band & Meat Loaf
KC and the Sunshine Band - "Who Do Ya (Love)" - "Both commercially and creatively, Who Do Ya Love was a step down for KC & the Sunshine Band. This 1978 LP followed 1976's Part 3, a superb album boasting four gems that reached the Top Five on Billboar...

Molly Hatchet - 2 LPs
"Flirtin' with Disaster" & "Beatin' the Odds" "Flirtin' with Disaster" - By the time Flirtin' with Disaster reached stores, the Hatchet were already bona fide forces to be reckoned with on the Southern rock circuit, with a fan base nearly on par wit...

29
Original Soundtracks - 2 LPs
Original Soundtracks "Heavy Metal" & "The Blues Brothers" "Original Soundtrack - Heavy Metal" - The title Heavy Metal is somewhat misleading. Sure, this terrific soundtrack from the 1981 animated cult favorite features heavy metal and hard rock num...

30
Ozzy Osbourne - "Blizzard of Ozz"
Cover of Alblum is spelled "Ozzy Ozbourne". Ozzy Osbourne's 1980 solo debut Blizzard of Ozz was a masterpiece of neo-classical metal that, along with Van Halen's first album, became a cornerstone of '80s metal guitar. Upon its release, there was con...

32
Pink Floyd - "Dark Side of the Moon"
Only played once! Includes 2 Poster inserts. By condensing the sonic explorations of Meddle to actual songs and adding a lush, immaculate production to their trippiest instrumental sections, Pink Floyd inadvertently designed their commercial breakth...

33
Pink Floyd - "Wish You Were Here"
Pink Floyd followed the commercial breakthrough of Dark Side of the Moon with Wish You Were Here, a loose concept album about and dedicated to their founding member Syd Barrett. The record unfolds gradually, as the jazzy textures of "Shine on You Cra...

34
Robin Williams - "Reality…What a Concept"
Comic genius Robin Williams was riding high with his starring role on the hit television sitcom Mork & Mindy when he recorded 1979's Reality...What a Concept, his debut comedy album. It was recorded live at the Copacabana in New York City and the Boa...

35
Rush - 3 LPs
"Rush", "Fly By Night" & "2112" "Rush" - Rush's self-titled debut is about as uncharacteristic of their renowned heavy progressive rock (perfected on such future releases as Hemispheres, Moving Pictures, etc.) as you can get. Instead of complex arra...

36
Steve Miller Band & Ted Nugent
Steve Miller Band - "Book of Dreams" & Ted Nugent - "Ted Nugent" "Book of Dreams" - It is here, on this 1977 blockbuster, that Steve Miller shored up his "Space Cowboy" moniker and cosmic persona: from the winged horse on the album cover to a judici...

37
John Lennon - "Walls and Bridges"
Walls and Bridges was recorded during John Lennon's infamous "lost weekend," as he exiled himself in California during a separation from Yoko Ono. Lennon's personal life was scattered, so it isn't surprising that Walls and Bridges is a mess itself, c...

38
The Mothers - 2 LPs
"Just Another Band From L.A." & "Over-Nite Sensation" "Just Another Band From L.A." - Just Another Band From L.A. was recorded live at the Pauley Pavillion, UCLA (Los Angeles), on August 7, 1971. Released in early 1972, it is the last album to docum...

39
Thin Lizzy - "Jailbreak"
Thin Lizzy found their trademark twin-guitar sound on 1975's Fighting, but it was on its 1976 successor, Jailbreak, where the band truly took flight. Unlike the leap between Night Life and Fighting, there is not a great distance between Jailbreak and...

40
Tom Waits - 2 LPs
"Small Change" & "Foreign Affairs" "Small Change" - The fourth release in Tom Waits' series of skid row travelogues, Small Change proves to be the archetypal album of his '70s work. A jazz trio comprising tenor sax player Lew Tabackin, bassist Jim H...

41
Tommy Tutone - "Tommy Tutone-2"
Tommy Tutone's self-titled debut album was the work of a fine, no-nonsense rock & roll band with an admirable lack of pretense, but their second album upped the ante with its lead-off track, "867-5309/Jenny," a deserved hit single and the sort of kil...

42
ZZ Top - "Tres Hombres"
Tres Hombres is the record that brought ZZ Top their first Top Ten record, making them stars in the process. It couldn't have happened to a better record. ZZ Top finally got their low-down, cheerfully sleazy blooze-n-boogie right on this, their third...
