    This one won't be close. Master of Puppets, Back in Black and Appetite for Destruction are pretty much the big three metal albums ever.

    No it won't because of our boring, cliche, frat boy kultur as many have pointed out. IFL BIB and have played the shit out of it and my band in college used to cover several of its songs. BUT Rubber Souls and Hwy 61 both beat it in terms of influence on rock history. Dylan going electric in 1965 and the Beatles moving beyond basic boy loves gurl songs to more complex songwriting marks the birth of "classic" rock. @Dennis_DeYoung in spite of AC DC being is favorite band will agree with me that Rubber Soul is more important.

    Nope. The album that confirmed AC/DC would carry on is way more important than the Beatles figuring out how to quit making teenage girl music.

    I fish bait though, so take that into consideration.

    This

    I know that Bon Scott was God and all that and agree but Back in Black was awesome

    As long as the brothers were alive things would be fine

    This isn't entirely accurate. I don't things were as long the the brothers Young were alive. BIB is among the greatest hard rock records of all time. And For Those About to Rock was good, but not great. After that the 80's were shit of AC/DC. Razor's Edge was OK but I can't even listen to Thunderstruck anymore due to overplay.

    Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
    There are two iconic songs on Back in Black and a lot of forgettable ones

    Rubber Soul has been the most influential of the nominees, but PG is quintessential LZ

    The 2nd disc of PG is my favorite Zep album. It's got all the hipster LZ songs that you never hear on the radio.

    Back in black was a very strong contender (despite being a 7th album).

    The real winner is write-in though.
