Best Rock Albums Ever

So as this is my first post in this new forum, I want to tell you all a little about me and why I am here talking to you. I am your normal average american male with opinions on everything. Especially things which tend to be thought of as pop culture. As I am sure all of you do, I sit with my buddies and yak about everything from sports to movies, from music to politic and more. We often get into fairly heated debates about particular topics, and we have a great time with it too. So now, I want to invite you to these discussions. I love opinions, so let me hear yours.

Now, enough about why I am here. Lets start the chatting. In a few weeks from now I want to release a list of the best Rock Albums of all time. To do this I need your input. I want to hear what Rock albums you consider the best ever.

Now, before you start in let me define some rules here. First off, lets limit it to Rock, and rock related genres. This would be rock, hard rock, metal, grunge, and punk. Lets leave off genres like pop, r&b, rap and others. In the future we will hit these albums. Rule #2, I want to focus on albums, and not simply bands. I don't care that you think The Beatles are the best ever band, and all of their albums should be included. I would however like to hear why The White Album is better than Sgt. Peppers. Rule #3, check your facts first. Believe me, I will and if you tell me how "Still Remains" make the album Core work, I will call you out.

So, lets hear it America. I am ready for your Abstract.
