Your greatest Rock Albums and top songs in each..

In your opinion, what is the best rock album and what are your favourite songs in it? I've recently became a fan of rock music after getting "Nevermind" by Nirvana and want to see what you guys like. I'll use your suggestions to build my music collection :)

The Beatles-Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. Top songs, A Day In The Life, With A Little Help From My Friends, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, And Getting Better. Also, Pump and Toys In The Attic-Aerosmith.

almost all the songs on this album..

also...

Every song on this album..

Artist - Album: Beck - Mellow Gold

Best song: Pay No Mind (Snoozer)

Its more of an experimental album with a whole mess of genres but its rock at its core. The above song is one of the first I've learned on guitar and its ridiculously fun to play when you know all the lyrics and can sing it at the same time.

Songs for the Deaf

- Don't really know what I would choose as the best, but I really like this album.

I could go on, but it's more or less the same. I really need to properly explore other **** of music. I'm a bit stuck in the past, in a time whenI wasn't even born. One of the barriers for me is the number of tracks you get on newer albums. I find it a bit overwhelming. I'd rather just have a compact selection of 3-8 good tracks that last for about 40 minutes. Quite often albums are far too long in my opinion, often longer than 60 minutes. The other barrier is the sheer amount of music I would have togo through.
