| I'm a big fan of the site (I'm also a huge fan of | | | | his 60s stuff. I think I may even prefer his recent |
| the site by the way!) and one thing I really like to | | | | trilogy (at least Time Out of Mind & Modern |
| look at is the overall charts to see which albums | | | | Times) over Blood on the Tracks, not sure why. |
| have been the top rated of all time. If you don't | | | | This is still a great album, don't get me wrong. |
| know what is, it's a site where music lovers (like | | | | #5 The Velvet Underground - The Velvet |
| myself) rate all of the albums they've listened to. | | | | Underground & Nico |
| Some raters also write their own reviews which | | | | I'm a fan of The Velvet Underground yet I do |
| can be very interesting to read. | | | | think this album is probably a little overrated here. |
| This article is a review of the top 10 rock albums | | | | #6 Radiohead - OK Computer |
| listed (removing the jazz albums that are listed in | | | | This album is now nearly 10 years old and it is the |
| the top 10 because while I do enjoy jazz I don't | | | | most recent album on the list. I certainly believe it |
| feel I know enough about it to really review it.) | | | | belongs on the list, although I think Kid A should |
| #1 The Beatles - Revolver | | | | be ranked just as high, if not higher! |
| As a huge Beatles fan I'm definitely glad they | | | | #7 The Beatles - The Beatles (The White Album) |
| have the #1 spot although personally I feel that | | | | This is my #1! I would rank this as the greatest |
| Revolver has become a bit overrated in the | | | | album of all time because of it's expansiveness |
| backlash to Sgt Pepper's supposed | | | | and how many times I can replay it without ever |
| overrated-ness! As great as Revolver is (and it is | | | | getting tired of it. It's not as cohesive as most |
| really great) I don't feel it should rank above | | | | (any?) of the albums on the top 10 and it has a |
| either Sgt Pepper or The White Album. That being | | | | few tracks that aren't that great by Beatles |
| said the songs on Revolver are truly timeless and | | | | standards yet somehow it all just works perfectly |
| beautiful. The album was also extremely | | | | together for me. |
| groundbreaking and has been almost incalculable in | | | | #8 Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde |
| it's influence. | | | | I'd rank this one over Blood on the Tracks for |
| #2 The Beatles - Abbey Road | | | | sure. Not sure vs. Highway 61 Revisited. |
| I'd personally probably rank Abbey Road as the | | | | #9 Bob Dylan - Bringing it all Back Home |
| fourth best Beatles album so I think it's slightly | | | | This is the fourth Dylan album on the top 10 to |
| overrated as well here. It's still a great album but | | | | go along with the 3 Beatles albums. It's no |
| for my tastes it's not quite "far out" enough in | | | | surprise really. There's really no competition when |
| comparison to some of the other great Beatles | | | | it comes to who are the two most important |
| albums. The second side is quite glorious though. | | | | acts in rock music history. It's Dylan and the |
| #3 Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited | | | | Beatles. |
| I'm not sure you could go wrong with about 5 | | | | #10 Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon |
| different Dylan albums here. "Ballad of a Thin Man" | | | | I actually feel this album should probably rank |
| is my personal favorite track on this album. | | | | even higher. It's a timeless psychedelic classic. This |
| #4 Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks | | | | album is just about as close to perfection as you |
| I don't quite enjoy this Dylan period as much as | | | | can find. |
