There was some real good picks on there...but one that was forgotten was Peter Frampton Comes Alive.
That one showed every band that you could suck but could sell alot of copies if you made a double live album.
Tears For Fears: Songs From The Big Chair...the best album from the 80's
Pantera: Vulgar Display of Power...which actually beat out AC/DC's Back in B;ack as the best rock album of all time.

"Dark Side of the Moon" surely must have influenced a few people.
Nearly all of the listed musos would take their influences back further..
You have to listen to Charlie Patton's Delta Blues about 1915-1925, then add a dash of swing and some 1954 Baby Let Me Bang your Box by and 1958 The Twist by Hank Ballard & the Midnighters.. so dirty and good Dick Clark stole it and turned reg evans in Chubby Chequer. While they formed the rock and the roll Bob Dillon came along and added life stories which live in the music today. If the music grinds you can thank Hank for adding the panky..
If you look at the hits over the most decades.. you have to credit The Boss too... bit of Dillon, bit of Delta and a bit of Hanks dirty grinding hip swaying rhythms.
Single artist albums came out fairly late for the real influences in modern music. Beatles White or Springsteen's Thunder Road.

Interesting nobody mentions YES or Rick Wakeman. YES in '71 and '72 with Fragile and Close to the Edge were the first rock (progressive) ban to combine orchestra in a big way with music of that era. They still do. They influenced all around them into introducing classical as a fill in area in rock songs. Wakeman was the first to stack keyboards and moogs etc and to synthesise the other surrounding instruments an distort them. There was massive influence by him and YES upon the bands around them like Genesis and Floyd to name but two, even into the nineties.......

Velvet underground - rock? They were a pop movement tending to punk in our generation. The Clash were punks!
Whatever happened to rock? Bob Bailey, Elvis and the last movement of rock that brought pop(ular) - the Beatles......
The definitions in this thread are all time relative........ we need Einstein to sort out the rock bit! 😛

I'm not sure about the rest of them (still building my collection), but just for future reference, the Nirvana album isn't SLTS, it's called Nevermind. SLTS is the most over-played Nirvana song out there, and isn't the best song on the album, imo.
