In addition, what is your favorite rock album?
Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Historically speaking most of the musicians who influence us now where influenced by the great Rhythm & Blues and Jazz musicians such as Bo Diddly, Muddy Watters, Charlie Watts & Chuck Berry. The album that I believe has influenced the most musicians today would be a tie between The Beach Boys, "Pet Sounds," and the Beatles "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."

My personal favorite "rock" album would be "Devil Without A Cause," by Kid Rock.

Chuck Berry Is On Top - http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:fifrxql5ldde

Pretty much defined rock guitar.

My favorite is Sleater-Kinney - All Hands On The Bad One

I would have to say Elvis Presleys debut album "Elvis Presley" ushered in a new genre of music and influenced many rock genre artists for years. I still pull this one out of the LP collection now and again. This album was also the first million-selling rock 'n' roll album.

My favorite rock album of all time is 1988s "Nothing's Shocking" by Janes Addiction. For me these were the good times.

I seen countless rock bands cite The Clash's album London Calling as an influence.

I just noticed it is modeled after that Elvis Presley album posted above, how about that.
