So it's Friday and that means Top 5 on Friday Time. This week our Music Memoirs friends task us with:
Top 5 Albums From Classic Rock Artists
I hate, hate, hate the concept of the Classic Rock genre. What does classic mean? Does it mean good, popular, old? There was a classic rock station here in Chicago that used to use the "It doesn't have to be old to be a classic" - a statement that would usually elicit a "It doesn't have to be good to be a classic" response from me.
In any case, I'll go with the established, yet meaningless, definition and list the 5 most classic of classic rock artists, and then choose my favorite from each (along with a runner up because, well just because I can)
So here goes:
Led Zeppelin - Presence (Runner up: Physical Graffiti)
Rolling Stones - Exile on Main Street (Runner up: Sticky Fingers)
The Beatles - Revolver (Runner up: Rubber Soul, Abbey Road, White Album - oh who am I kidding, who could possibly choose a single best Beatles album)
The Who - Quadrophenia (Runner up: The Who By Numbers)
Pink Floyd - Animals (Runner up: Wish You Were Here)
I've written about most of the above before in my Build Your Own Best Of posts so I won't bore you with the details again here.

I've got revolver and exile too.
I would have chosen presence or grafitti if i picked a zep album. presence is a very underated one and my favorite.
Gotta go w/who's next and dark side if i were picking who & floyd albums.
I thought about DSOTM but I think I overdid it and don't much listen to it any more. Animals is still in pretty heavy rotation so it got the nod.
Not that either of them are bad choices though,
Thanks for comments,
SB
