      all of these are good that have been mentioned.

         There are so many great albums listed already - 2112 is one of them - Hemispheres (also by Rush) is also superb.....

      Pink Floyd The Wall. that music is formidable in so many ways.
      
      
      'k, now i'm thinking ...Bob Dylan Highway 61 Revisited is phenomenal so i can't leave that out.
      
      Jimi Hendrix's Electric Ladyland has some monumental guitar work, especially in All Along The Watchtower. Voodoo Child is good also...

         The Wall is really amazing music. Pink Floyd is going to perform the entire album on their next north american tour. that I don't want to miss!
         
         I'm sticking with Abbey Road for best rock album but the Beatles White album is also great music.
         
         the Doors first album, but not the best rock album ever.

I've seen Floyd 4 times and Roger and his band in 2000. I've been going to live shows since 1966 and I'm not sure there's a better live band than Pink Floyd, but don't hold me to that :-)

    I must say that I believe the best Rock album of ALL time would have to be:
    
    The Beatles: WHITE ALBUM. 1969.
    
    
    
    It not only contains a variety of melodies, it stands for the close of an era that will never be again.
    
    My own preference, second only to the White Album is:
    
    Led Zeppelin: Houses of the Holy, 1974-75.

    How about this number one hit from one of the greatest albums EVER....
    
    Talk to me, tell me your name
    You blow me off like it's all the same
    You lit a fuse, and now I'm ticking away
    Like a bomb... yeah baby
    
    Talk to me, tell me your sign
    You're switchin' sides like a Gemini
    You're playing games
    And now you're hittin' my heart
    Like a drum... yeah baby
    
    Well if Lady Luck
    Gets on my side
    We're gonna rock this town alive
    I'll let her rough me up
    'Til she knocks me out
    'Cause she walks like she talks
    And she talks like she walks
    
    [Chorus:]
    She bangs, she bangs
    Oh baby when she moves, she moves
    I go crazy 'cause she
    Looks like a flower
    But she stings like a bee
    Like every girl in history
    
    She bangs, she bangs
    I'm wasted by the way she moves
    No one ever lokked so fine
    She reminds me
    That a woman's got one thing on her mind
    
    Talk to me, tell me the news
    You'll wear me out like a pair of shoes
    We'll dance all night until the band goes home
    Then you're gone... yeah baby
    
    Well, if it looks like love
    Should be a crime
    They better lock me up for life
    I'll do the time
    With a smile on my face
    Thinkin' of her in her
    Leather and lace
    
    [REPEAT CHORUS]
    
    Man, if Lady Luck
    Gets on my side
    We're gonna rock this town alive
    I'll let her rough me up
    'Till she knocks me out
    'Cause she walks like she talks
    And she talks like she walks

    Man.. I've yet to find an album that I thought was overall a better rock album than Soundgarden's Superunknown. Incredible from start to finish. "Like Suicide" is one of the most epic tracks from that era, IMHO.

    The best ROCK album should contain songs that are 100% best. Compilations aside, it's hard to find an album up to that title. There are simply too many superb albums but each of them has at least one track hard to swallow. I'll go with "Please Please Me" (The Beatles).
    
    The other contenders:
    Help! (The Beatles)
    The Velvet Underground & Nico (the minus is the closer)
    LA Woman (The Doors / The Crawling Snake is a downer)
    Never Mind The Bollocks (Sex Pistols / worn out)
    Closer (Joy Division / the minus is the opener)
    Bummed (Happy Mondays / the minus is the opener)
    The Stone Roses
    You Cross My Path (The Charlatans)
