I like Blonde on Blonde better but Highway 61 Revisited arguably has more influence.

good list, but missing a few important ones, eg:
>>
>>66039469
Is this now mu-core?
>>
>>66039425
What did Spirit of Eden influence? I would put Laughing Stock instead if I thought a Talk Talk album belonged on that list, which I don't.
>>
>only focuses on the artier side of rock
Sure is a /mu/ chart
>>
>>66039425
>Spirit of Eden
>AYE
>Nevermind
>Black Sabbath
"no"
>>
>>66039476
While having some rock aspects I guess it doesn't count as a rock album itself, even though it did influence rock music. Otherwise it'd definitely make the list.
>>
Master of Reality is more influential
>>
I know Rolling Stone would disagree with me but I'd say Revolver is more influential than Sgt Peppers. Sgt Peppers came out when pyschedelia was in full swing, when Revolver came out it was truly unique.
>>
>>66039425
Nope unless you're those mainstream music magazine that don't know shit.

However I'm going to rank them imo of best to worst

Loveless > ITCOTCK > Banana > Sabbath > SOE > Sgt, Peppers > Blonde > London Calling > Jimi >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Pedophilia
>>
>>66039425
highway 61 had more influence than blonde on blonde

also, it could be argued that Rubber Soul had more influence than Sgt. Pepper, since it was one of the first actual rock ALBUMS as opposed to just a collection of songs, if you look at any "top albums of the 60s" you'll notice that 99% of them came out after 1965, that's the year Rubber Soul was released. But Sgt. Pepper, was one of the first big concept albums, so also influential.
>>
>>66039613
How is banana not #1?

>>66039425
Where is DSoTM?
>>
>>66039631
Should be noted that Highway 61 came out before Rubber Soul and was arguably the first rock album in the sense that you're talking about.
>>
>>66039425
Paranoid is more influential than Black Sabbath
>>
>>66039677
yeah, 1965 had Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited, and Rubber Soul. But the releases varied by months, so it's safe to say they all had significant influence.

Much better
>>
>>66039425
No Never Mind the Bollocks.

I don't care if you like it or not, omitting that album from a list of most influential albums is like leaving hydrogen out of a recipe for water.
>>
>>66039425
obviously not

it's a mix of overrated classics, genuinely influential albums, and great albums that aren't influential

also you're missing a ton of the important ones
>>
>>66039425
Slint needs to be here, it simultaneously invented/pioneered post-rock and math rock, influencing everything those genres touch and had influence on various genres from indie rock to metal.

Sabbath is absurdly influential. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it isn't influential.

You guys don't realize that it's limited to just 10. You can't fit every seminal album in the rock canon.
>>
>>66040188
Even with just ten Spirit of Eden doesn't deserve to be on that list. I'm sorry but the internet isn't the real world.
>>
>>66040188
Ramones influenced a lot of bands
>>

wut
>>
>>66039425
Replace London Calling for Ramones' s/t
>>
>>66039425
Where's the punk love? I would argue Never Mind is more influential than London Calling, and I'd maybe replace Blonde on Blonde with Highway 61. Maybe replace Kid A with MBV too,
>>
>>66040292
>Ramones' s/t
>not The Stooges s/t

Replace Talk Talk with this.

Wut
>>66040309
I'll admit to being fairly ignorant to punk history, but weren't The Ramones fairly more popular comapres to The Stooges?
>>
>>66040188
The only albums on that list that are truly influential are ITCOCK and Nevermind the Bollocks. And no Velvet Underground? And no Loveless. And I hate MBV and VU. Are you fucking trolling or what? I'm starting to get angry with all this plebcentricity.

The Stooges are more influential, and that's what this list is really about.
>>
>>66040351
Ramones lasted longer and were more popular but less influential than Stooges,[spoiler]Dead Kennedys were better than the 2[/spoiler]
>>
>>66040369
Springsteen had a shitload of imitators after Born to Run was released. He's practically the only reason Heartland Rock exists. See >>66039776 , they may not be popular genres on /mu/ or "hip" but they exist and have/had steady followings.
>>
>>66040403
>Dead Kennedys is better than Stooges

viper yourself dude
>>
>>66040403
I definitely agree with the Dead Kennedys being the apex of punk rock, but they weren't as influential.

Dookie was ok. Nice try to bait with the Uno whatever though.
>>
>>66039536
Yes and yes
>>
>>66040447
Yes. Even thought i wouldn't put as the most influential. It's beyond better and influential than Loveless.
>>
>>66040418
Fair enough. Not my ball of wax but I'm sure you're right.

How the hell is In the Aeroplane Over the Sea influential? Acclaimed, yes, but what important albums of the past eighteen years (can't even say twenty yet) has it influenced? Also, I just realized, what the fuck are the Gorillaz doing on there? Fuck it, I guess I'm just gradually realizing that this is bate.

Can't tell if this is a bait thread, but this would be my list off the top of my head:
Saxophone Colossus - Sonny Rollins
Live at the Apollo - James Brown
Bringing It All Back Home - Bob Dylan
Black Monk Time - Monks
In a Silent Way - Miles Davis
White Light/White Heat - The Velvet Underground
ITCOCK - King Crimson
Irrlicht - Klaus Schulze
Here Come the Warm Jets - Eno
Endtroducing - DJ Shadow
>>
Seriously how has no one added Slint
>>
>>66042822
The Monks were barely known in their day, DJ Shadow, Sonny Rollins, Eno and Brown weren't rock, the Davis album you listed was more influential in jazz than it was in rock.
>>
>>66039536
Literally why Laughing Stock? IT's the watered down Spirit of Eden. Also Post-Rock, crumbus
>>
>>66039425
Pixies instead of Nirvana

Laughing Stock did nothing new, you just say that because it's posted more on /mu/ like the hypebeast you are.

Highway 61 revisited had a bigger influence.

>>66039467

Who has been influenced by london calling?

loveless should just always be substituted by treasure by cocteau twins since thats what influenced loveless

who?
>>
>>66039425
I don't think Sgt Pepper is the most influential Beatles album, I think Revolver probably is. Doolittle/Surfer Rosa is more influential than Nevermind, and Highway 61 Revisited probably more than Blonde on Blonde (though I prefer the latter). Pet Sounds has to be up there, ahead of Talk Talk (though I adore that album).
>>
>>66051053
Also, I'd probably have The Modern Lovers' debut ahead of London Calling, and maybe Psychocandy ahead of Loveless.
>>
>>66039425
The Velvet Underground, influential? They were super underground during their existence lol
>>
>>66051306
VU were the single most influential band of all time desu.

literally created what would become post-punk before punk even existed.
>>
Bathory really needs to be in here if Sabbath is.
>>
>>66051053
in terms of influence I think
>White Album
>Revolver
>Sgt. Peppers
the rest I think are important but I wouldn't consider many of them more influential than the other 3
