The quality of the albums really starts to heat up when we get to many of the GOAT's fifth studio LP's. @dflea gets his due along with @Dennis_DeYoung ' s first ever purchase as pour, young fast strat kiddie in Kent. @BearsWiin rocks out at the Hotel California as the Eagles quit getting dis-respecked by me.

Who's Next - the best rock album top to bottom ever
Hotel California - the best song writing ever
Houses of the Holy - criminally underrated LZ classic. Suffered for following IV and Plant sounded like he had AIDS but the guitar work is all time -
Who's Next
This has been the hardest round for me thus far. I love all these albums with the intensity of a thousand burning suns....with the exception of Hotel California, which has 3 or 4 great songs and then some that are just OK.RaceBannon said:An @Auburndawg power rankings tie

Who's NextI add that The Stranger is probably the second greatest pop album of the late 70's and is only surpassed by Rumors.

Eagles - Hotel CaliforniaI'll fucking gut anybody who votes Joshua Tree. Walking through my dorm hallway freshman year at Berkeley, you could count on hearing Joshua Tree coming out of at least two rooms per floor, and Invisible Touch out of another two. FUUUUUUUUCK

It's hard to play favorites with Neil's earlier albums but I've always loved this onechuck said: -
Who's Next
This is where is gets tricky with Neil Young in that he released a lot of new songs on live albums only- e.g., Time Fades Away, Tonight's the Night, and Rust Never Sleeps. So while Time Fades Away isn't a true studio album, it's not the traditional "live" album either of previously recorded material. ATBJBS, On The Beach should be considered the 6th Neil Young album and not the 5th.chuck said::format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-490822-1122409566.jpg.jpg)

All true. The order is open to interpretation during that period anyways. Tonight's the Night was recorded and ready for release before On the Beach IIRC. I cant/couldn't remember all the details, but a quick Google search lists On the Beach as #5 so I went with it. Most days I'd list it as my top Neil album.YellowSnow said:

Grateful Dead - American BeautyOnce again giving the Dead some love, but Who's Next is must likely one of the best albums ever and should win.
