    Good for you tagging it as Rock Edition or I would've put DMX up there.

    Looks like the record labels got smart around 1970 and put an end to this.

    Was tempted to go CCR because that was basically their career

    CCR actually had 3 killer albums in 1969. And 2 in 1970. But still, their entire career was about 20 months of awesomeness.

    High Voltage and Dirty Deeds. 1976

    Also, while not released in the same calendar year, Highway to Hell and Back in Black were released 363 days apart. That's some good work in a one year stretch.

    The prolific nature of most classic rock acts from the mid 60's to the early 1970s was remarkable and likely never to be repeated again.

    The Who were probably the most lazy of the GOATS. Only 4 studio albums from the period 1970- 1980.

    For some reason, I thought the Australia "High Voltage" from 1975 pretty much the same at the US/UK release from 1976. It was not.

    I stand corrected my midget fish fucker, clam digger buddy. Should have had them on the list here...

    Fuck off though with Highway and Back in Black and follow instructions.

    As does Yella. I just can't vote against those 2 records.

    I had to search but in 1968:

    The Notorious Byrd Brothers and Sweetheart of the Rodeo

    Not big sellers per se, but two great albums

    the dead should win...

    Jesus that's the hardest pole I've seen here yet. Hard enough to make pumpy blush.

    I had to go with what I prefer. All you fags who will argue that this album was more important or oother bullshit can suck it.

    Ranked:

    Neil
    Dylan
    Sabbath
    Hendrix
    Led
    Beatles
    CCR
    The Doors
    The Dead

    Sweetheart is a Top 20 Yella Piss LP of all time. Bryd Brothers is very un-even.

    Dylan
    Sabbath
    Hendrix
    Led
    Beatles
    CCR
    The Doors
    The Dead

    So Gear Chucker, the way I see it as this:

    Tier I - All Killer, No Filler x 2 albums

    Dylan
    Dead
    Hendrix
    Sabbath
    Zep
    And the 2 AC DC 1976 records (@dflea )

    Tier II - One Killer Album, and one "pretty good" one

    CCR - all CCR albums had, at least, 2 or 3 throwaways
    Doors - Strange Days was a big fall off from the debut but still pretty strong record
    NY - Zuma is a solid record but nowhere on par with Tonight
    Beatles - Help! is classic but still had a lot of early Beatles fluff
    I forgive you for being a Dead fan. You've earned at least that.

    Help has too much crap surrounding a few absolute classics. Otherwise I'd agree.

    You just haven't heard the Dead on a decent set up.

    1. "Help!" Lennon 2:18 Classic
    2. "The Night Before" McCartney 2:34 Shit fluff
    3. "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" Lennon 2:09 Classic
    4. "I Need You" (George Harrison) Harrison 2:28 FO George
    5. "Another Girl" McCartney 2:05 Classic
    6. "You're Going to Lose That Girl" Lennon 2:18 Poppy fluff, throw away
    7. "Ticket to Ride" Lennon 3:09 Classic
    Total length: 17:01
    Side two
    No. Title Lead vocals Length
    1. "Act Naturally" (Johnny Russell, Voni Morrison) Starr 2:30 Fun, but filler
    2. "It's Only Love" Lennon 1:56 Fun, but filler
    3. "You Like Me Too Much" (Harrison) Harrison 2:36 F.O. George
    4. "Tell Me What You See" McCartney with Lennon 2:37 Pure shit
    5. "I've Just Seen a Face" McCartney 2:05 Classic
    6. "Yesterday" McCartney 2:05 Classic but cliche and I hate it
    7. "Dizzy Miss Lizzy" (Larry Williams) Crap
