Fvorite pop/rock albums of all time


Notice I said "favorite" and not "best".

Ok, here's my top five favorite:

1. Abbey Road, Beetles
2. Allman Brothers Live at the Filmore East- The ABB
3. Let it Bleed, Rolling Stones
4. What's Going On- Marvin Gaye
5. Exodus- Bob Marley and The Wailers

I bet you can guess my age by this list.

There are allot of runner ups that don’t make it on my list because of one or two songs that aren’t quite right to me (Nirvana’s Nevermind is one example). The common thread in these albums is that every song seems right and the album has a coherency from beginning to end.

Metralla,

First of all, I love soul music and "What's going on" is by far the most profoundly introspective music of that genre. Wrapped in a package of sweet soulful melodies he delivers a message of geo political, environmental, racial and personal injustices in a way that is completely accessible by anyone. This is nothing short of genius and is the best of what music and art has to offer society. There are also parallels with society in the early seventies as Marvin became a serious man, outgrowing the parental chains of Motown and deciding that there were important things to ponder. The beauty and fun of the music was still there but there was imminently more depth in the lyrics.
In no order...all of these most have got played at least 1,000,000,000,000 times way back when.
