No offense but his list does not cover a lot of ground in terms of different genre's and a very small window in terms of the years the records were made. Very far from obscure as well. IMHO of course. In all fairness for me it would be impossible to name 20 favorite albums because most of us go through phases and what might be a favorite today may not be tomorrow. Don't limit yourself to a couple styles of music! Lots of great music out there and most of it was never got the radio airplay it deserved!

Rainbow Rising is one of the greatest albums of all time. The line up of Blackmore, Dio, Bain, Carey and Powell was never bettered. Dio's vocals soared !

I don't think I could do a definitive top 10, but 10 albums I absolutely love and never get tired of, not ranked, would be: 1. Iron Maiden--Powerslave 2. Rainbow---Straight Between the Eyes 3. Genesis---Abacab 4. Rush---Grace Under Pressure 5. Stevie Ray Vaughan---Couldn't Stand the Weather 6. Boston---Don't Look Back 7. Doobie Brothers---The Captain and Me 8. Black Sabbath---Heaven and Hell 9. Whitesnake---Slide It In 10. Van Halen---Van Halen II That's 10 out of a gazillion or so.

This channel is gold, brings back so many memories and makes me want to create new ones.

Rainbow Rising was Dio's finest hour! Great to see Yes and Jethro Tull make the list. 2 excellent bands!

I so appreciate how you seem to go genuinely emotional over certain bands, certain albums, certain artists. That's ME holding up my vinyl copy of the double-sided Quadrophenia by The Who.

@Alibobs Marland BURN is an underrated masterpiece. It was interesting hearing from people after the Iron Curtain came down in 1991. There are strange and funny stories from then, students, from all over the Soviet Union. EXAMPLE One guy said they had to play Sail Away off Burn for their music exam ! He didn't elaborate enough to say what he actually played.

Great top 20.. So hard to choose.. It would be so easy to put together a top 20 with just Zeppelin, Sabbath and Purple albums.. Those bands pretty much set the course for what was to come. Pleased to see UFO in there. Great band. And Rising. When Dio sings "there's a Rainbow Rising" during Stargazer, it brings tears to my eyes because of it beauty, power and sheer epic-ness. .

I love rock music but I like Chicago, Traffic, Steely Dan, C.S.N.& Y. , Allman Brothers, Skynyrd, Eagles, etc. There's so much good stuff that people will question if you forgot where you came from, all you forgot to do was open the window a little wider and let everything in. I used to listen to just what everyone else did until my older brother showed me that good music is endless and it just keeps getting better all the time.

Forget about their 70's excursion into AM radio-type pop, somebody just wanted to cash in for a big payday; but the first album and bits of the second showed they had what it took to be a respectable rock band.

Not sure where my favorite albums would rank, but I can say my personal list would definitely include material from Styx, Genesis (prog era), Kansas (first 6 albums), Iron Maiden, Dio, Rainbow (the albums with Dio), Opeth (both the metal and later prog era), Borknagar, Steven Wilson, Porcupine Tree, Pink Floyd, Strapping Young Lad, and Devin Townsend (tied with Styx for being at the top of my list). Also really like Dimmu Borgir (ICS Vortex era), but not sure if they'd rank in my top 20. Do you have any recommendations for Styx-like bands?

We grew up in two very different worlds of musical experience and influence (with some expected '70s intersections), which is why I always appreciate your various tastes. I've tried a lot of new tunes based on your overviews and rankings. Thanks for putting rock out there.

Fantastic list! We would have many duplicates for sure. Great to see Styx and Kansas make the list!

Pete what a great surprise this was, thanks! Nice list and I know it's not easy to narrow down. Thanks for giving props to BOC. I was surprised I didn't see an album like Images and Words from Dream Theater on here. Do more of these. We love them!

Scenes From a Memory, my favorite DT album, is definitely somewhere in 20-30.

great list...love all your picks...so nice to see uriah heep and gentle giant so appreciated...by the way...as far as favorite live album goes...rush 'all the world's a stage'....

My late uncle was a jazz drummer and he introduced me to Gentle Giant when I was 13 years old (45 years ago) and they have been one of my absolute favorite bands of all-time. I was so lucky to see them live in Montreal (5th row from the front) and it's a show I'll never forget.

I can name my favorites but can't number them: Tommy-The Who . 666-Aphrodite's Child (Probably My Number 1) . In The Court Of The Crimson King-King Crimson . Joe's Garage Acts I,II,III/Hot Rats/One Size Fits All/Apostrophe/Overnite Sensation/Shiek Yerbouty...-Zappa . Dark Side/The Wall/Animals/Wish You Were Here/The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn/Meddle/Atom Heart Mother...-Pink Floyd . Foxtrot-Genesis . The White Album/Abbey Road/Revolver-The Beatles . Matching Mole-Matching Mole . Tarkus-ELP . The Aerosol Grey Machine-Van Der Graaf Generator . Berlin-Lou Reed . The Velvet Underground And Nico-The Velvet Underground . Bringing It All Back Home/Blond On Blond/Highway 61 Revisited-Bob Dylan . Low-David Bowie . Anthem Of The Sun-Grateful Dead . The Soft Parade-The Doors . Deep Purple In Rock-Deep Purple . Kind Of Blue-Miles Davis . Plastic Ono Band/John Lennon-John Lennon . Close To The Edge-Yes . Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy)-Brian Eno . 4 Way Street-Crosby Stills Nash And Young . Their Satanic Majesties Request-The Rolling Stones These are some my personal Favorites

Well I was going to comment my top 20 studio albums of all time, but I can’t leave out the rest of my top 50. There’s a lot of Rush in there. A lot of Yes, Black Sabbath, Mark Knopfler. A few David Bowie albums, a few Aerosmith... A couple Blue Öyster Cult albums as well as quite a few Judas Priest albums. I just can’t make a list that excludes anything from my top 50.

Picking an album each from personal favourite bands ; BOC - Spectres (over FOUO & Secret Treaties ... just) Wishbone Ash - Argus Yes - Close To the Edge Rush - A Farewell to Kings The Doors - LA Woman King Crimson - Court of the Crimson King Hawkwind - Warrior on the Edge of Time Rainbow - Rising Magnum - Chase the Dragon The Tubes - Completion Backwards Principle

Thank you, i learned a lot today as a music lover. Subscribed.

Great list Pete. I'll give it a whack. I could do a top 20 of all time just using Yes, Beatles and Crimson, but I'm going to use the no more than one by each band. So that way 20 artists will be represented. Not in order really, but I'll begin with my favorite album of all time by anyone. Relayer - Yes The Beatles- The Beatles Queen II - Queen Permanent Waves - Rush Turn of The Cards - Renaissance Venus and Mars - Wings Somewhere I've Never Travelled - Ambrosia Dog and Butterfly- Heart Love It To Death- Alice Cooper Larks Tongues In Aspic - King Crimson Axis Bold As Love - Jimi Hendrix Experience A Trick of the Tail - Genesis Birds Bees Monkees - The Monkees Every Good Boy Deserves Favour- Moody Blues Leftoverature - Kansas Pieces of Eight - Styx The Division Bell - Pink Floyd Aqualung - Jethro Tull Who's Next - Who Demons And Wizards - Uriah Heep

Tulls BENEFIT! nice choice. this guy knows a good album. Loves prog. Yes always finding its way in, as it should be.

remember that film where Henry Winkler played an unstable Viet Nam vet? out of nowhere, they end the film w/ 'Carry on my wayward son' .it greatly helps a not so great movie. good list, Pete .your inclusion of DEEP PURPLE 'in rock', shows that ,in the end, it's the power of electric guitar, one of the last Century's greatest inventions, that drives your love of music. same here .nice Les Paul.
