difficult question, dude! can't really say.
well, appetite for destruction, thats for sure. no need to explain i guess.
UFO, Strangers in the night. The anger Schenker has towards the rest of the band is so audible in every note he plays. So full of fire. just great. not to mention the pure, sheer riffage of that german bastard :headbang1:
The Darkness. Permission to land. That album is a MAJOR stepping stone towards the rest of rock. its a dooropener to thin lizzy, journey, rush, ac/dc, and many others. every song is just a hallmark for ROCK!
Thin Lizzy, Jailbreak. C'mon, emerald, jailbreak, romeo and a lonely girl? those songs are so awesome. boys are back in town and cowboy song are classics, ofcourse. I chose jailbreak over live and dangerous, cause I really like romeo and a lonely girl.
Queen. night at the opera, OR day at the races. why night at the opera? every song is awesome, with bohemian rapsody, love with my car and death on 2 legs as the best songs. Why day at the races? I love 'melancholy blues'. just for one song an entire album? yes. and ofcourse many other songs on 'day' but still. melancholy blues is my favorite song of all time.
I could choose van halen 1, led zep 1 or 2 or 3 or 4, but they are hallmarks by songs, not albums. I could propose alice cooper's school's out, but I don't like alice cooper that much. or hey stoopid, but, again, i don't like cooper that much. I could propose some stuff by deep purple, but I can't stand hammond organs, nor D.P., except for the guitarstuff..I could propose ac/dc, but I really don't like 'm. hate the vocals. he sounds like a horse with its balls squased between 2 rocks
I wanted to put 'love at first sting' , blackout or lovedrive in my list. imho the 3 best albums by the scorpions (or taken by force, because 'we'll burn the sky' is REALLY great!!!!" but they haven't shaped rock as much as the others. I just like 'm.

. Then on to something like Jimi ushering in even more progression on guitar based music. Van Halen is just the natural evolution so that is on the list as well. To me Appetite and Justice are also there. Even though they are from the same time they were influential for different reasons. Appetite was more of a back to basics raunchy straight ahead in your face no apologies kind of thing (plus there are so many punk undertones going on, Duff's basslines are so melodic compared to traditional rock bass). Justice gave birth to the first Metallica music video which brought good (not british) metal to the mainstream. I know I'm going to get shit for this but you can't deny Nevermind needs to be on the list as well. It was at the forefront of an evolution in music. Most people want to focus on the lack of virtuosity going on with the Grunge acts but for every example of that there are plenty more of great players and songwriters. If you can listen without prejudice the Beatles are all over Kurt's work. Nirvana had more influence in music than the kooky Shenker guy ever will. It's not right, it's not fair, but it's true. Sometimes we forget that as musicians we view the world just a little bit differently than most.
