this man is the bob ross of vinyl
I take that as a high compliment!
Happy little LPs
Ross & Roll!
@@noblerecords hi ....like you posts!
.... did you ever hear of Vangelis and his prog 60-70s band Aphrodite's Child ....and their super lp '666' ?
The main song 'Aegean Sea' ....super chill!!
Vangelis also did soundtrack to 1st Blade Runner film (ambient sound 15 years ahead of everybody else).
He also won the Academy Award for theme song to film 'Chariots of Fire'. Vàngelis has a huge list of scores for European films.
He's recognized as a living musical genius. Check him out!!
Duck Dynasty of viynl
It wasn't LZ I,II,III,IV, Physical Graffiti, Houses of the Holy in the first 6 slots? ;)
It was but.... I tried to be fair 🤣
What about Presence? Too awesome.
Right? How could that happen lol!!
Presence was ok but doesn't compare to the earlier albums at all.
Great list. My list....1)jethro Tull benefit 2) Beatles revolver 3)Black Sabbath vol4 4)Pink Floyd animals 5)Humble Pie live at Fillmore 6)Jimi Hendrix axis bold as love 7) Led Zeppelin Houses of the Holy 8)King Crimson court of the crimson king 9)David Bowie Aladdin insane 10) Alice Cooper killers....not in any particular order lol.
You werent there living the incredible moment too young. Rumours , Tumbleweed Connection, Abraxus, almost any later Beatle album better than Abbey Road a meek swan song. No CSNY, David Bowie no too post classic, the Who? Missing ... you had to be there, otherwise just a historian.
Love seeing 'Benefit' on your list!
I agree, Wish You Were Here is better than Dark Side of The Moon.
Thank you!
I think a lot of ppl prefer Wish You Were Here. Myself included. :)
Meddle is their best
Animals is better than both
Clearly the immense sales of Dark Side of the Moon proved its popularity, making it the better album, but it's been overplayed & spoken about too much. I feel this is part of reason that people prefer Wish You were Here. That & the fact that it's one thing to make a phenomenal album, but to follow up with another masterpiece, makes WYWH so adorned, IMHO.
Good list... I respect that you put King Crimson on a "mainstream" list.
Mainstream enough. That was the curveball on the list.
Classic Rock I don’t think any Prog Rock qualifies. Think of a radio station that never ever played a B-side.
@@chrisames2795 Not to argue as it really is all a matter of opinion, and lordy dont we all have 'em, BUT when In the Court of... came out was there really a genre known as "prog rock?"
And to answer my own question, the interwebs say that the Moody Blues "Days of Future Passed" was the first "prog album" (again, opinion) but we are talking a matter of a couple of years between that and ITCOTCK ... at that point wasn't it all still "rock n' roll?" ... certainly wasn't "classic" when it was first released...
And I am just throwing my "thought on it" out there, as I have found "Progressive Rock" (or "progressive" music as a whole) to be one of the hardest genres to define in simple terms (or at all).
I was confused and wrong. Redirect to answer The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway or Iron. Butterfly Inagadadavida. 😷🔨🛎
Wow ! Really in-depth insight here! I’ve heard people talk about these albums, but you take it to another level. You really know your stuff! 👏🏼👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
Thanks so much! I try!
I completely agree with you that Wish You Were Here is Pink Floyd’s best album! Meddle is second for me, an extremely underrated album.
Absolutely agree, glad that I also have all of that albums. Apriciate your taste and knowledge. Cheers!!!
Solid list man. A lot of my all time favorites. Especially Big Pink and Ziggy Stardust.
Rush, Moving Pictures came out way after 1975. I think 1981.
You had me on the edge of my seat the whole time love how you took me on a journey of your picks and why. And your undying respect for the music we all worship five stars to you
Thank you!
This is the first VC video with a list of albums where I have every single one of them and agree with the list. Great pick of albums.
Solid choices! These would make a great “Classic Rock Starter Pack” for someone just getting into classic rock on vinyl
Man that was a great list. I love the passion you have for classic rock and I share your love for all these bands and records. LZ is also my favorite band and I usually pick four of their records in my top 10. Glad that you also chose King Crimson, who are practically the Godfathers of prog rock, and Rush, my second favorite band. Good stuff
Thanks for watching! 🙏
Enjoyed hearing your classic rock picks. This period (1970-1975) was when I formed my musical tastes that endure to this day. I've owned 90% of those on vinyl. Paranoid was the first one I ever bought in '71. We just vary on which albums we liked better by each artist. ( Dark Side, Close to the Edge,Sticky Fingers,Live @ the Fillmore, etc.).
Literally just got finished listening through In the Court of the Crimson King about an hour ago. Such a fantastic record.
You should Listen to Red by king crimson as wel
Glad to see sabbath in the list it was paranoid that got me into rock at the tender age of three,two older brothers to thank for that
Deep Purple in Rock
Yep... It's Impossible made a "classic rock list" without Deep Purple... and maybe some Uriah Heep IMO
and Deep Purple did'nt even get honorable mention, what a shame
Agree, I've just compared In Rock with Paranoid Sabbath by listening both albums...apparently In Rock much heavier, faster & have raw sound than Paranoid, so I think DP have more influence to European metal than BS
Once again, as with all ur lists, I could not possibly agree more! SUPER SOLID picks (and Hon. Mentions), top-to-bottom, would not change a thing--even "controversial" picks like "Wish You Were Here" v "Dark Side" 4 this list; very tough call but fully agree. This is a dude who knows his Rock right here.
I have never seen such a great vinyl collection in my life from someone on youtube ,👏👏👏
Mate thanks for this.. I'm mr middle of the road and thought i should re educate myself, so i googled top rock albums and just listening to your number 10 working way through... half way through the doors, awesome man thanks!!
Thanks for watching!
Can't argue with any of that, right period great top 10 pick; Hats off to you!
Thanks man!
Great list man, I think it's important for people just getting into vinyl who maybe didn't grow up with rock to know where to start! Also could you do a top 10 "Deep cut" classic rock LPs? Stuff you think is essential for the people who love the Stones, Zeppelin, Hendrix, Who style rock, that'd be a great list and the comments could be a great place for discussion as well
I agree, I love dark side, but WYWH is still my favorite, shine on you crazy diamond is one of the greatest opening tracks I’ve ever listened to
Haha…I love that you preference this video that it’s your opinion. I may have to start doing that on my videos. Every time I rank albums and down countdowns people do nuts that I didn’t include something. But all of these things are just our opinions. Any way it made me have a good laugh.
What an era! Fans of classic rock could put up a top 100 list and not be satisfied!
Man.. loved this post !!! It is really difficult to rank such period/style of music. But, most important it is to share tastes among vynil fans/collectors/addicts. Rock you 😎
Thanks!
Great list...I am lucky to have all the lp's in your top 10 and most of your honorable mentions
Seventeen minutes in and we finally get to the Allman Brothers Band. It was worth the wait although if I'm picking one it has to be Live at Filmore East. Cheers. Great list of essential albums.
Yeah I wasn’t counting Live albums. That’s one of the greatest live albums of all time!
Solid. Solid. I was waiting for Born to Run in the honorable mentions, and there it wasn't :)
Loved every minute of this. Solid list. Though my heart broke just a bit when Abraxas didn’t make the top 10. (The honorable mention made up for it.)
Can’t argue with your choices; I particularly like that you included Wish You Were Here - I prefer it to Dark Side of the Moon but I love them both
Solid picks, and stances well-defended. Always neat to see the kind of copies that a record store guy has in his own collection. Going in there a guy would need a couple thousand bucks, that or a cup for the drool/tears lol. Best of fortune with it for years and years, we salute you
Great top ten, well chosen and justifiable classics. Agree with your number one too. Great stuff.
How about MACHINE HEAD deep purple, WHOS NEXT the who, AQUALUNG jethro tull.
My top ten single albums ( dessert I land )
Zeppelin III
Houses of the holy
Give us a wink
Gimme back my bullets
Rumours
Machine Head
2112
Aerosmith debut
Cars debut
Boston debut
Diver down
Kate Bush - throw a dart at a chart - first 4
Nazareth- never get to the island trying to decide
Moving pictures. As a drummer and Rush being my favourite band I was so glad to see this on the list because as lots of people sadly know the mainstream is very biased against them
Led Zeppelin II = All thrill, no fill! 🤘
I would love to see a top 10 live albums video, since you specifically didn’t cover them in this one!
That was fun. It’s your channel, your taste, and your record store. Hell, you can do whatever you want bro. I liked your list. It put a smile on my face because most of those albums provided the soundtrack of my young life. From age 12 onward. I was trying to grow up as these were originally released. Back when I was rocking a Pioneer receiver, a Dual turntable, and an Akai reel-to-reel. Thanks for this. Still smiling and wanting to go crank my stereo rig up. 👍🏼😎🎶
Huge Zep fan here. Have the symbols tattooed on my arm. I’m 55 now. I was 14 when I heard Ramble on for the first time and I was hooked. I love them all but 2 and graffiti are my favorites.
Mine too!!!
5. Darkside of the Moon
4. Sticky Fingers
3. Electric Ladyland
2. Zeppelin lV
1. Who's Next
Just my opinion, right. Just discovered your show and really enjoyed binging on it. Great job, Dillon.
PS. When people ask me, "Beatles or Stones?" my response is always "Kinks or Who!"
ZEP II is my favorite Zeppelin album too. Quadrophinia has to be in my top 10. Love your lists!
Great list! You seem to have so many interesting pressings. I'm interested in learning what slight differences you hear in different pressings. My system is to the point that I can usually detect a digital source, but in doing an A/B of different analog pressings of Aja or whatever I have a hard time really telling the differences.
Thank you!
Love your videos man, great list. Love the Cosmos mention, to me that album has everything great about classic rock. It’s got the blues, the psychedelia, it’s got the rockabilly tracks, a killer soul cover, country, and flat out rock. And even though it has all those elements, every song is unmistakably Creedence, and a great snapshot of that era. What a band. I think only Zep can stand up to them when it comes to a long chain of perfect records with no duds. Zep 1-6, creedence first 6 albums. I’d almost include Beatles’ Rubber Soul all the way to Abbey Rd, except I never liked Sgt Pepper’s (yeah I know, I can’t help it). Can’t think of any other bands with 6 albums in a row of that high a quality. Hell even my favourite band the Stones best run was 4 (beggars to exile). If only they did Some Girls and Tattoo You a little sooner...
Thanks for watching, CCR is amazing!
Killer! I will say that, having grown up listening to classic FM rock radio in the late 70s/early 80s, the song 'In The Court Of The Crimson King' was in fairly regular rotation in late night programming. I was very familiar with that song long before I bought the album. Of course anyone younger probably missed out on those days of FM classic rock.
Would love to see your bob Dylan collection. See some bootleg series in the back!
It’s not all that impressive. Maybe I will though
Noble Records awesome. Hope you do! Love the Channel! Keep up the good work!
Great list, some I have to revisit in the near future - only obvious thing missing for me (at least in the honorable mentions section :P ) is some Deep Purple
Yeah I was on the fence about machine head
Totally agree with your choices, all great albums and I own them all. Surprised you didn’t have the original Electric Ladyland cover though
Solid. Dig the honorable mentions. Especially the Rush & Creedence. Respect ✊
I have to agree with your pick of "Wish you were here" over "The Dark Side of the Moon". All in all a very good list.
Great list. Some other honorable mentions: Stooges Debut Album, Aerosmith Toys In the Attic, Lynyrd Skynyrd Debut Album, and The Who Who’s Next
Don’t mean to argue about your list... but it’s hard not to put « Highway 61 revisited » (or anything Dylan recorded until « John Wesley Harding ») as one of the most influencial records for the rock music that was emerging then...
I found a lady on Facebook that had a ton of records for sale she was adamant about $3 a piece and I was low on money so I just grabbed what I like she had three copies of Let it bleed one in mint condition with the poster in it the other two not so great that were really scratched and of course I accidentally grabbed one of the bad ones. By the time I found out and contacted her she already sold all of them to a local record store at I'm sure a discount. In the future I know now to take my time. Let It Bleed is definitely a great album and one of the reasons is Nicky Hopkins on piano without a doubt one of the best piano players
I agree 66 to 75 are the ground breaking years of popular rock and roll music.Great picks I would do it slightly different but I can definitely agree those are all essentials.
The Music Gods visited the earth those 10 years.
Excellent selections! As you said, they are your opinion so none are wrong. I lean more toward the 1967 debut album "Are You Experienced" for the Jimi Hendrix selection (My personal favorite is "Axis: Bold as Love"). As far as core classic rock it includes "Purple Haze", "Foxy Lady", Hey Joe", "The Wind Cries Mary" and "Manic Depression". Talk about colorful influential sonic canvases. Rock on Dillon!
Great list! Love that you have Wish you were here #2 and Led Zeppelin II #1!
Ahh, like a breadth of fresh air, lol! No ultra obscure, impossible to find, uber expensive, out of reach titles to be had here in this video (as long as you stick to regular ol' domestic pressings/reissues etc.! ;-) )100% with ya on the Sabbath pick. Love it.
Great list. What press was that Abraxas half-speed master? I have an OG that lovely but full of crackly goodness and warn grooves. It was my mother’s copy and I’m never parting with it, but would love an better sounding one to spin without dropping a couple hundred to hunt down the MoFi.
Great Top Ten & Honorable Mentions. All Fantastic Albums. :-)
Great lineup. I would agree on a majority of these albums. I personally would add one album that personally affected me. Days of future passed moody blues. It blew me away how every part of the day lines up perfectly with the music
Thanks for watching!
Agree. Underrated for sure.
Great picks. Of course everybody's list would be different but that's what makes us all unique.....how we hear the music that means so much to us. With that being said I would like to speak with you about opening a record shop in salisbury nc and wondered if you had any tips. Really enjoy your channel and wisdom always informative.

I know you said up to 1975, but when taking about classic rock you have to go to at least 1976, and mention Boston’s 1976 debut. Fantastic dual guitars, a pulsing rhythm section and of course the soaring vocals of Brad Delp - one of the greatest voices ever. Not a single bad song on the entire album. “Something About You” is one of the greatest songs ever laid to tape.
I am 63 and I knew all these records for more then 50 years. As you do I lnow every note of them and my taste is the same as yours. Agree fully with this list. Congratulations to share you expertise
Thanks for watching!
i'm 70 and I had all of those albums and played the hell out of them. You have pretty good taste in music for a kid. Thanks. Signed Boomer Vet
Hi Dillon, Like your impressions of each album. Bought most of these when they came out.One way we would find out about these bands would be listening to FM radio. ( WOUR in Utica,NY for me ) Thanks for making this video, take care.
Thanks for watching!
Sgt. Pepper's... Blood Sweat & Tears first album... You can't have a classic rock list without Deep Purple!
Agreed 100%
I agree with Abbey Road from a classic rock perspective
Yeah. No Machine Head?
Great top ten list. Pretty close to mine , close to the edge and dark side for me in my list. No doors no stones for me. Take care great job
Great list Dylan. I have 8 of the 10 and some of the honorable mentions. Have plans to buy the King Crimson. I agree with the Pink Floyd choice, Wish would be my 1st choice the Animals. Keep it coming.
JUST picked up Yes’ Fragile! 🔥 great record alongside all of the other picks mentioned
Yes!
One I'm curious if you've heard about it or not is Bonk by Big Pig. Great album and my dad hooked me by the fact this album doesn't use any stringed instruments.
Dude, amazing review!
One incredible record that is top of my list...highway robbery -for love or money, such an amazing under rated record 1972
Have you done a video on the differences of original presses, Japanese presses, original master pressing etc...
Great picks Dillon👌🏼🔥
Enjoyed this man.
Thank you!
Dude i love your ranking videos. Could you do more please?
Yeah I’m trying! It’s hard to do it without pissing people off, but that’s part of the fun 🤣
I dont mind man. Youre very interesting. For example I really think that abbey road is kind of overated but then u give very good reasons for your choice. Btw, I love paranoid's position
Agree, would love to see a "Roots of Hard Rock" album ranking...
If you were looking for a more hard rock focused list, allow me:
Appitite For Destruction - Guns N Roses
1984 - Van Halen
Dr. Feelgood - Motley Crue
Back In Black - AC/DC
Metal Health - Quite Riot
Ride The Lightning - Metallica
Pyromania - Def Leppard
Open Up And Say. . . Ahh!! - Poison
Boston - Boston
Stay Hungry - Twisted Sister
15 - Buckcherry
Paranoid - Black Sabbath
Blizzard Of Ozz - Ozzy Osborne
Blackout - Scorpions
Skid Row - Skid Row
Amongst others that I can't think of right now
Thanks for watching! 🙏
I’m pretty much with you with most of those. Especially The Doors, Zeppelin and Bowie. I’d have to personally drop a Who album in there and something by Deep Purple as well.
Awesome!! Big records!! 🇧🇷
Saw you ask the question on IG & I nearly replied with Appetite For Destruction. Glad I didn’t now!
I was so sure you’d pick The Who after you mentioning so many 60/70’s British bands.
I know nothing about The Greatful Dead so I’m off to check them out 👍🏼
Thanks man!
Awesome picks Dillion. I would have picked alot of the same ones too.
Thanks jay!
Where did you get your record shelves from ? I can’t find anything good
Excellent delivery.
Youdda man,man,You are great at what you do,I know,like you, what I like,VOODOO CHILE is forever embedded in my memory banks from a 14 yr old kid in 72,I went to a show in South Bend and found an absolute" gem" to me,but I'm nuttier than a Pay Day, " The Sensational Alex Harvey Band " NEXT" ,he to me is a lost gem of how music ,humor,and theatrics all made music unique " Next" will have you smiling like a butcher's dog.
Keep being you,
John
What do you think of Can?? I was listen to them today and it was incredible!
I really like Can! Essential Krautrock!
Great picks!
Great video! The Stones let it bleed is spot on the Dead it is too close to call with working mans and American. Thank for share with the VC
glad to see Abraxas on the list but why no Machine Head by Deep Purple?
Well made list once again, greetings from Greece, i would also put
-Queen - A Night at the Opera
-Deep Purple - In Rock
-Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
Thx Dylan, you rock! Led Zeppelin ll is my fav also, so cool
Thanks manb
Santana Abraxas!! Right there with you!
Hi Dillon,
Well that’s a fine list.
Could I just make the case for Dylan’s Bringing it All Back Home? Just as Sabbath were the blueprint for metal, when Dylan “went electric” way back in 1965 he laid the foundation stone of what we call “rock” itself.
Rock is pop with power and depth. Dylan’s songs were always about more than boy meets girl. And when he added electric instruments he initiated the whole rock genre.
Best regards
Yeah, I love bob Dylan but I think his electric stuff is more folk rock. It’s hard to say 🤣
Agreed, Let It Bleed is the best Rolling Stones album.
Great video, hard to choose just 10.
Hey Dillon , great top ten. Cheers Snowy
Thanks man!
Great list Dillion 👌🏼
Thanks mann
Good stuff...even though it's a personal choice, you can't argue with your selections.
Thanks man!
Those are all great albums!
Great Video. Would be nice to mention a few stand out songs from each album.
Excellent top 10!!!!
