Music changed completely when guitars went electric. The era of the rock force was introduced and it remains an unstoppable force of nature, even today. There have been numerous timeless records that have been made over the years and there is some serious competition in this genre. But, if you are looking for the best, listed below are the top 4 rock albums you should give a try:
The Beatles- Abbey Road, 1969
Abbey Road was the last music that the band recorded with Sir George Martin and it was created in a far-from-ideal environment. There was a lot of tension between the members with Lennon proposing a split, but things came together and it resulted in this brilliantly cohesive piece of art that you will not forget once you have listened to it. Come Together is the key track that you should try first.
Pink Floyd- The Dark Side of the Moon, 1973
After the success of their debut album, it took Pink Floyd some time to find their feet. Their subsequent six albums had moments of greatness, but it was The Dark Side of the Moon that really stood out. The dynamics, scope and ambition of the album were just epic and it boasted one of the greatest album covers that was designed by Storm Thorgerson. Us and Them was the most prominent track of the album and it stayed in the Billboard charts for a massive 741 weeks. The album's profits helped fund The Holy Grail and Monty Python.
Led Zeppelin- IV, 1971
This record was Led Zeppelin’s finest moment and it was the perfect blend of what made them the best bands. The album included roll thrills and pure rock, along with bulldozing hard rock and gentle folk. It was a faultless album that had the greatest guitar solo of all time in the form of Stairway to Heaven, which was its most prominent track.
The Beatles- Revolver, 1966
It is difficult to choose the best rock album by The Beatles, but Revolver does take the cake. Whether it is sonically, performance or songwriting, the album is a work of amazing quality and it opened up lots of boundaries of what was possible in the world of music. The record is full of classics of different styles and it is one that no one should miss. The most renowned song of the album is Tomorrow Never Knows.
