Name your top 5 rock albums

[Asante1010]

Put a young black hip hop head on some rock....I welcome everything from The Clash, to the RHCP to pennywise to korn to Blink 182....but no beatles , marilyn manson, or beach boys. And no crazy yelling sh*t....a track like Freak on A leash is the most yelling i should hear and thats not alot at all. I still remember when that came out, classic....school me. I prefer hard rock + alternative rock by the way.

----------------
Listening to: Jay-Z - Diamond is Forever (feat. Michelle Rosario) (http://www.foxytunes.com/artist/jay-z/track/diamond+is+forever+(feat.+michelle+rosario))

[Iron Man Production]

Bad Religion - Against The Grain
Electric Light Orchestra - New World Record
Jimmy Hendrix - Are You Experienced?
Guns n' Roses - Appetite for Destruction
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV

Most of them dudes careers are now done except for Bad Religion who's still doing it.
Guns N' Roses was supposed to realease "Chinese Democracy" but this sh*t is reaching "Detox" status and even worse...

[Asante1010]

thanks brah....

[DAREALBIGMEECH]

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Tool - Ænima
Rage Against the Machine's self titled debut

I have much more, but those are three that stand out for me personally.

[Rzarector7]

Hendrix Electric Ladyland
GNR Appetite
Floyd Dark Side

[BreakCanon]

Anyone who can make a list 5 albums long isn't listening to enough rock.

thanks again guys...

[Zayus]

No Beatles or Beach Boys? Why?

I can't name an exclusive 5 albums but I'll just list off the 5 rock albums I've been listening to the most recently.

1. David Bowie - Hunky Dory
2. Nine Inch Nails - The Slip
3. Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf
4. The Kinks - Arthur
5. Pixies - Surfer Rosa

[Asante1010]

I'm already up on the BEach Boys (not that I listen to them), and I dont like the Beatles

i aint on that 60s ish

[Zayus]

i aint on that 60s ish

:huh:

Fair enough

In that case forget about the Kinks and Bowie. Definitely check out QOTSA though

[Sonny Blaze]

Rage Against the Machine - The Battle of Los Angeles/Renegades
Incubus - S.C.I.E.N.C.E/Make Yourself/Morning View
At the Drive-In - Relationship of Command
These records by no means are my favorite albums or anything like that.. Besides ATDI I no longer listen to any of this shiit.. It's just I was in exactly the same situation in high school and these albums got me interested in rock enough to delve deeper into the genre as a whole...1

[RapMusicIsCool]

01. Funkadelic - Maggot Brain (one of the best black rock albums ever, up there with any Hendrix stuff)
02. The Stooges - Fun House (every hip-hop fan should hear this, and they'll be able to appreciate the rawness of the production, and this album doesn't have to sink in, it kicks your ass immediately)
03. Talking Heads - Remain in Light (the dense production and afro-beat/funk influence will pull in a hip-hop head easily, plus this is just an amazing album)
04. Steely Dan - Can't Buy a Thrill (most would recommend Aja, but this is my personal favorite, great lyrics, genius arrangements, crystal clear production, just perfect rock music.)
05. Radiohead - The Bends (This album contains many of the best written Radiohead songs, and would be great starting point to the band. Once you dig this, dip into OK Computer/Kid A)

[Asante1010]

how's that bad brains album?

[Zayus]

Which one?

[Asante1010]

Bad Brains and I Against I....

I gotta lotta stuff to download now....I just finished downloading Bad Brains and with a skim through it seems pointless

after the 20th post i'm done, I hope ya'll gave me good sh*t

[Zayus]

Those are the two to check if you want to get into Bad Brains. They took me a little while to get into but songs like Banned In DC are classic.

Another two groups I can recommend are Faith No More & The Kills. Angel Dust & Midnight Boom are their best albums respectively. Faith No More (with Mike Patton) basically kicked off Nu-Metal, which I'll never forgive them for. But Angel Dust, if you can consider it Nu-Metal, is by far the best album the genre has to offer.

Hopefully with the recommendations in this thread (most have been pretty good) you'll expand your rock tastes. I don't mean any offense, I've just never heard of someone not liking the Beatles or 60's rock at all.

[Asante1010]

LOL, it's not that I dont like 60's rock, i'm just not trying to get into that....moreso 70s rock. But you know what....I feel it's my duty to take in some Beatles...name their best album

It aint even that I dont like the Beatles either...I remember when iw as like 7 and had Kazaa...me and my bros found like a 30 minute 60s and 70s mix of rock. I swear them shiits were catchy, still memorizze most of it, but cant find it anywhere.

Round round get around or something - beach boys
Young girl get outta my mind - dont remembber

alotta next stuff, but those i remember the most

----------------
Listening to: N.W.A. - Appetite For Destruction (http://www.foxytunes.com/artist/n.w.a./track/appetite+for+destruction)

If you're into heavier stuff, I'd recommend Abbey Road. I've never seen a general consensus of the best Beatles record though, people argue over everything from Rubber Soul through Abbey Road.

[Asante1010]

thanks

[Asante1010]

Come to think of it, I dont know why i said i dont like the beatles...probably because everybody else likes them. Because what I've heard from them...i memorize

[Master Ryker]

Chicago - Chicago Transit Authority
Wishbone Ash - Wishbone Ash
Leaf Hound - Growers of Mushroom
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin
Foghat - Fool for the City
