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...

DawgOfTheAges

the world literally stood still and listened to those two Led Zeppelin alblums... gotta hand it to Jimmy and Dylan for creating an entirely new sound tho

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.

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

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

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.

The official Yella Piss review

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

Agree with all except The Night Before. I think it's a solid entry given the time.

John dominated as per usual. The title track is one of their best songs, and Ticket to Ride and Hide Your Love Away are great great songs.

The Night Before, Tell Me What You See, and You Like Me Too Much are all solid tracks.

I'd consider myself as big of a Beatle fan/expert as we have on our boards, ATBSJBS I think certain Beatle songs don't hold up that well 56 years later including these three. They aren't "bad" songs especially judged against the work of their peers, but just don't stand the test of time .
