    Can I vote for all of them?

    Yes. Every record on this list is an all timer. Tommy is the only one that sounds dated at times, but given its place in history I included it. I much prefer the Who's live performances of Tommy to the studio version.

    Neil Young had a shit ton of terrific albums, but @alumni94 I think Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere was the 1st among equals. He never surpassed the greatness of this recording.

    Nice list...I own (or owned) every album on it...Zep II stands out for its’ testosterone-filled influence on my adolescent mind. It was the first album I had that when I put it on, I never lifted the needle, either side...

    I think that’s an awesome watch.

    Carry on.

    The LZs and CCR were all neck and neck. Ramble On was my personal tie breaker.

    The first time I remember hearing a vinyl record is was Whole Lotta Love playing. This record wrote the metal blue print. Sabbath took it to the logical conclusion.

    I’m envisioning a 64 album tournament when football is cancelled this fall. Some years will just get 1 album in. 1969 May get the conference champ plus 2 at larges.

    It's hard not to vote for Neil here. It's just really hard to compete.

    You maybe right, but some strong arguments could be made for a few others, such as Tonight's the Night, Harvest....

    Dazed & Confused is a kick ass song. Probably my favorite Zeppelin song.

    Goldrush, Harvest, Beach, Tonight, and Rust will be featured in this series. Not sure if there are any wins here but maybe some podiums for sure.

    You could add in Ragged Glory, Mirror Ball and Broken Arrow.

    On the Beach usually wins my internal polling. Time Fades Away is way under rated as a live album. Yonder Stands the Sinner he calls my name!

    City in the smog.
    The Black Crowes (with Marc Ford) did an excellent live version of L.A.

    My dad's copy had a scratch on Whole Lotta Love. Later, it didn't sound right without the scratch & hiss. Thus a vinyl love was borne.
