    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...
