Top 25

[nadroj1985]

Here's the top 25 rock albums of all time, according to rock music historian Piero Scaruffi. Don't know if any of you will appreciate this, but if you like the more experimental side of rock music, this thing is filled with interesting records you might not hear of otherwise. It doesn't really reflect bias towards any particular genre, either. There's punk, hardcore, art-rock, folk-rock, krautrock, pop, gothic, progressive rock and much more here. Give it a look-see

1. Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band- Trout Mask Replica

Where is Revolver? Where is Abbey Road? Where is Pet Sounds? Do you really think the 25 greatest albums of all time could overlook the Beatles and the Beach Boys?

Ummm......... why not? I won't say anything about the Beach Boys, because I haven't heard Pet Sounds, but you already know what I think of the Beatles. Also, this is not my top 25. I just thought it was an interesting one. I still disagree with some of it. Number 3, for instance (Robert Wyatt's Rock Bottom) is a really silly, pretentious and not very good album, IMO.

You haven't heared Pet Sounds ............WOW man I envy your future experience.............The Beach Boys have been imitated by fewer bands than only the Beatles.........Pet Sounds is perfection......nearly all written played , produced and mixed by the genius Brian Wilson....If you get the chance see the film about their life....very moving.

All the best fellow music fan nadroj
