because of the negative response to this thread i wen back to review the selections. I reexamined the basis for the selections. I found them to be solid choices with a rational basis. the selections posted this preamble that proved to be prophetic.

For starters, this isn't meant to be a "be all, end all" list. It's meant to be a primer. I mean seriously, how the hell could anybody pick just 25 Classic Rock albums and leave it at that?
This is a list that spans the 1960s up until the early 1980s (we decided to cut the Classic Rock timeline at 1984, the very last real Van Halen album to be released (by real we mean containing the original, classic VH line-up of Diamond David Lee Roth, Alex Van Halen, Michael Anthony, and Eddie Van Halen).
We've also tried to be as wide in scope as possible, choosing a broad selection of classic rockers from the world over, even though it was arguably the British and the Yanks who pioneered and kept the genre going strong.
Naturally we expect to get a ton of mail telling us that our list either sucks or is brilliant. Either way, we encourage you to send in your own lists at your whim. You can send your own Top 25 to us here.
You tube makes it easy to make an evaluationl on most if not all selections. Becaise music is a matter of personal taste you should make your own selection.
