I like this list for the most part. I know for a fact my hardcore classic rock friends would never be able to tolerate King Crimson and a whole album of David Bowie. And I equally would never consider them classic rock, either.

For me, the albums classic rock fans like the best are the ones that have the most hits, and contain the songs played on the radio the most. Considering the genre ruled my teen years, I just remember my favorite albums from back then. In no special order...

Deep Purple- Made in Japan
Led Zeppelin- II and IV
Paranoid- Black Sabbath
Boston- Boston
AC/DC Back in Black
Aerosmith- Toys in the Attic
The Who- Who's Next
CCR- Cosmos Factory
Bad Company- Bad Company
