^This site is the be-all and end-all of all rock lists. If it took hiphop more into account, it really would be completely objective. Anyway, just look at the top albums list there (which is averaged from just about every top album list ever, combined) and start downloading them from wherever you can.

the most overrated album in history. love it to death but i prefer rubber soul, revolver, the white album, and abbey road.
I agree. The White Album & Revolver are my favourite Beatles records and some of the best albums ever, while Sgt Peppers is right below Abbey Road. I think people praise moreso than Revolver or The White Album because it's pretty much considered one of the high points of psychadelic rock

From what I can gather from your question is that you want something that has the feel of those albums. This isn't going to happen w/ rock. Not really anything with that gangster-esque feel. i know that sounds corny, but Im being serious. Now if you just want that grimey feel I would then there is definately a lot of rock music that falls into that category. Namely a lot of punk, and I would also c/s early zeppelin albums (II and ZoSo). But if you're asking for sh1t thats just classic (such as the albums you mentioned) I would reccomend the following: Hendrix: axis bold as love, beatles: magical mystery tour & revolver, radiohead: ok computer, velvet underground: loaded, Brian Eno: Turn on the warm jets, and really everything else reccomended thus far.

The Beatles have about 6 albums that, if any of them were recorded by anyone else, would be that artist's best album ever and a contender for top 10 album of all time. But as it is I actually think people tend to underrate some of the albums, because a top ten half-filled with albums from one band looks bad. Sgt. Pepper is probably the most accessible of their classics, but I don't prefer it more than Rubber Soul, which most lists have below it.
Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt Pepper, White Album, Abbey Road, all > OK Computer or whatever fairly random album certain people want to claim as "best ever" (as if there is such a thing).
Hell, Magical Mystery Tour > OK Computer
Still, as far as I'm concerned . . . Velvet Underground > Beatles, on average :yes:

"paranoid android" is the ONLY song on OKC that i really like. that album is infuriatingly overrated.
and rubber soul is the beatles most underrated album. it really doesn't its props, which is a shame considering "in my life" is on it.
This an impossible question to answer. Rock's catalog of classic albums>>>>>>>>15 or so "stand the test of time" rap albums.
Hell, Magical Mystery Tour > OK Computer
CS! Magical Mystery Tour is a fantatstic album that doesn't get enough shine!

It's not cool to say this now, but Nirvana's "Nevermind". It has half of an Alternative station's playlist on there, so it's accessible. Pearl Jam's "Ten" supplies the other half. Don't start with Radiohead, they have to grow on you. If you get past Nirvana and Pearl Jam, then cop "Led Zepplin IV". The song "When the Levee Breaks" supplied half of the hip-hop drumbeats during the '80s and '90s. Finally, break down and get The Beatles "Revolver" for "She Said, She Said", and the greatest drumbeat of all- time in "Tomorrow Never Knows" which basically invented techno.
P.S. The Beatles were great, but by no means do they deserve to monopolize a top 10 albums of all-time list. Not when Led Zepplin is a superior group. U2 has made some of the great albums , don't for forget The Stones, Nirvana, Radiohead(yes OK Computer is the bomb), Public Enemy, NWA, Nas' Illmatic, Prince, Michael Jackson, Guns N Roses(Appetite of Destruction will tear your head off), you've forgot Dylan, Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On", and so many others. So please don't feed Paul McCartney's ego anymore than needed.

"When the Levee Breaks"
greatest song they ever made, and my personal candidate for the "best drums ever" award. Also, III is their best album. maybe not the loudest, or the most popular, but by far the most enjoyable.

^You should care more about finding music that YOU like than music that are empirically "respected".
But you should listen to every album named in this thread, even the ones that the posters themselves tear into; they're still important for you to know about if you want to have an informed opinion.
If you want the boringest white-bread list ever, though, here you go, bud:
Beatles Sgt. Pepper

Led Zep IV
Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon
Sex Pistols Never Mind the Bollocks

What Beatles albums should I check out first? I haven't got into them yet and I figure I should start now.
their whole catalogue is amazing. they didnt start making 'real' albums until 66. rubber soul from then on you cant go wrong.
Beatles catalogue? All their albums from Rubber Soul. Their earlier albums are also good but have a lot of covers and weren't nearly as revolutionary. So that's...
Rubber Soul
Revolver
Sgt. Peppers
Magical Mystery Tour
The Beatles
Abbey Road
Let It Be << this one is less important.
From there, the Beatles have dozens of solo albums, a lot of which are definitely worthwhile. Here are a few.
Lennon
Plastic Ono Band
Imagine << Only for a couple of tracks if you ask me
Walls & Bridges
Double Fantasy
Lennon's discography was very spotty. If you like those albums, you should check out the rest of his albums. If not, don't bother.
McCartney
McCartney (solo album)
Band On The Run (with Wings)
McCartney 2
Ram
Chaos & Creation in the Backyard
Less essential Macca
Tug of War
Memory Almost Full
London Town (with Wings)
Flaming Pie
Ringo Starr
Ringo
George Harrison
All Things Must Pass
Living In The Material World
Dark Horse
Brainwashed
George Harrison
Somewhere In England
Obviously, just suggestions if you like the Beatles albums.

[****]ARE YOU SERIOUS?![/Vitale]
Dark Side of the Moon is powerful music. :yes:
To the threadstarter, i've been slowly working myself into Rock music more. What I would do if I were you is download some greatest hits albums first. Listen to which style of the band you preferred. Because with some bands they'll change styles or they'll sometimes change members and sometimes they won't sound as good.
For the most part, everyone in here gave you good advice except for the fool I just quoted.
