Top 5

Top 5 American Rock albums and runners up:
Almost all iconic rock bands are from europe or recorded their major alvums in Europe (even Hendrix). Here is a list of my top 5 american rock albums and the runners up after them.

1)Elvis Presley - Elvis Presley
-The album that started the movement.

2)Blonde on Blonde - Bob Dylan
-"Don't let anyone know that you don't own blonde on blonde!"

3)Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen
-Quintessential Americana? After listening, I agree.

4)Nevermind - Nirvana
-If kurt cobain had lived, would Nirvana have been so influential? No, but this album began a new movement in rock itself. A classic and a monster.

5)Ramones - Ramones
-Tired of all the other music out there, these guys started their own genre. Genius.


The runners up:

The Doors - The Doors
White Blood Cells - The White Stripes
Rumours - Fleetwood Mac
The Stranger - Billy Joel
Hotel California - the Eagles
Harvest - Neil Young
Appetite for Destruction - Guns n' Roses

Neil should be #1. Isn't he Canadian though?
