The 10 Albums Every Rock Fan Must Own

When I started working at my current job, my core team was pretty amused by my passion for music. Over the past few months, these coworkers have come to better understand my passion - and truly get that music is...me.  Anyway, one of my coworkers has recently gotten reinterested in music. I say "reinterested" because he once had quite a passion for rock and then grew away from it all.

Now he's rebuilding his collection and I want to help him.

Today, this coworker - and we'll call him Mark because that's his name - mentioned that he literally only owns a handful of CDs.

To me, this is unfathomable. It's not like he has a massive digital collection, either. He doesn't own an MP3 player, so the small stack of CDs is basically all she wrote.

I decided I would post my list of the 10 albums every rock fan must own. Then, I thought you could also list your 10 choices. This way, Mark should have a very good foundation on which to rebuild his collection.

Note: I say "rock fan" in the title of this article, not Glam. I want to keep this a little broader than just Glam so Mark gets a well-rounded collection.

Now, my list in no special order:

01. Aerosmith - Rocks
02. Guns n' Roses - Appetite for Destruction
03. Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
04. Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
05. Beatles - A Hard Days Night
06. Motley Crue - Shout at the Devil
07. Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
08. AC/DC - Back in Black
09. Van Halen - Van Halen
10. Who Are You - The Who

I look forward to reading your lists of the 10 albums every rock fan must own. I'm sure Mark also appreciates the help.
