Introduction to Rock - II

Here is part 2 of my introduction to rock series
This is not any step by step learning process as such.
Assuming that you are already a rock music listener, this is just a list of my favourite albums listed in alphabetical order.
Again I have missed out some good artistes and some good albums, but this list is just from the back on my head.
so maybe people can add on to this.
I have intentionally left out some real cult albums, which i think is foolish to add since everyone would have already heard it

A request to all IGTians
If at all you do wish to add some albums, please include albums before 1990.
I would want to keep this thread away from Death, Trash, Nu, and other sorts of metal forms.

Thank you

Bandbaja, I would have preferred Led Zep's "In Through The Out Door" also in the list.

Nevertheless nice work.
