Fvorite pop/rock albums of all time

Notice I said "favorite" and not "best".

Ok, here's my top five favorite:

1. Abbey Road, Beetles
2. Allman Brothers Live at the Filmore East- The ABB
3. Let it Bleed, Rolling Stones
4. What's Going On- Marvin Gaye
5. Exodus- Bob Marley and The Wailers

I bet you can guess my age by this list.

There are allot of runner ups that don’t make it on my list because of one or two songs that aren’t quite right to me (Nirvana’s Nevermind is one example). The common thread in these albums is that every song seems right and the album has a coherency from beginning to end.

Todd Rundgren "Hermit of Mink Hollow" and "Something/Anything"
Richard Thompson "Rumor & Sigh"
E " Broken Toy Shop" and "Man Called E"
Graham Parker "Squeezing Out Sparks"
Steven Stills "Steven Stills"
Replacements "All Shook Down"

Wireless - "Rattlesnakes" is a great record - might not be in my top 5, but close and I'll certainly give it top 5 least appreciated.
