Best selling albums of all time


Here's an AI list of the top selling albums of all time:

1) Michael Jackson – Thriller
2) Eagles – Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975)
3) AC/DC – Back in Black
4) Pink Floyd – The Dark Side of the Moon
5) Whitney Houston / Various Artists – The Bodyguard (Soundtrack)
6) Bee Gees – Saturday Night Fever
7) Fleetwood Mac – Rumours
8) Led Zeppelin – Led Zeppelin IV
9) Michael Jackson – Bad
10) The Beatles – Abbey Road

I'm just wondering which of these are owned and enjoyed by audiophiles and which would probably never be played on their systems?

I hope I'm not sounding like a music snob. Personally, I would play AC/DC, Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and maybe Thriller.

I have definitely played every one of these albums on my system and only two are because my wife made me.😁😁

I've the Beatles' Abbey Road, Fleetwood Mac's Rumors, and both Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall. Used to have Michael Jackson's Thriller, but threw it out. 

I had no interest in any of these albums...

Perhaps i could tolerate some Beatles album for nostagia  reason driving my car...But i am retired and drive no more then listen no radio ...

Because i drive no more  my go to albums for nostalgia are a French poet and American poet and a Canadian poet which played rarely on any radio   thats all...

 Some are less mass conditioned it seems ... devil

I would think Beethoven, Vivaldi and Bach are the most selling albums of all time ..

Sometimes i am provocative ...

Am i snob?  It must be....

Bach might be number one in my collection or very close to it, Mozart and Beethoven would also be near the top............if we can look at things in this way. Bach organ pieces are a great way to check on bass response if testing new gear cables or tubes. 

I may have more Beatle albums than any other artist but they almost never get played. 

Most played probably Mannheim Steamroller. I use them all the time to evaluate gear/tubes etc.

You resemble me then...

I dont know if it is a compliment though...

 

Understand me i am able to appreciate the musical talent of all this list:

 But with so deep beautiful music in the East and West cultures South and North,  why sticking to these artists till death ?

Better to appear snob  to the crowd than  one among them ...

But i am conscious to be provocative than i apologize  by politeness and assure everyone that i can appreciate their  pop band as talented musicians  for sure ... I am snob perhaps not deaf and blind  to talent ...

 

To stay polite toward the OP i will say my favorite  are the Beatles and Bob Dylan...
