So hard to nail down JUST 5, it would change daily for me.....I haven't seen a bad album listed in this thread, love some of the old rock and roll albums listed, I've been on a Journey/Boston/Zepplin/G'N'R' kick lately......
Not hardly. You could say the same for almost all of the groups that anybody here has posted. My Grandad is buried a few graves over from country & western singer and actor Tex Ritter and father of Three's Company actor John Ritter in the Port Neches, TX cemetary. Nothing weird goes on there
Boston - Don't Look Back Kansas - Leftoverture Kansas - Point Of No Return Boston - Boston Foreigner - Records
And there is another one, thanks @tigerchick46 GnR appetite for destruction is for sure in my top 5. So much so I had forgotten about it.
Lies isn't bad either......."I used to love him......but I had to kill him" The single best half of an Album ever.
Yes the acoustic side of that album is really great but nothing touches appetite IMO. It also showed how great a blues band they could be on the one song "Rocket Queen" one of my favorite tracks by them ever.
Early on was: Shout at the Devil Blizzard of Oz Appetite Diary of a Madman On through the night After that: Core Dirt Ten Temple of the Dog Nevermind
You may be on to something that I did not realize about myself... Nah, their singers are not good enough. For me the band has to have the complete package of great vocals and driven complicated music.
Early Chicago was like that before Terry Kath died. Then they morphed into that California Power Pop thing and became less relevant to me. But the original Chicago--the first four albums--was some seriously good progressive rock.
