So my birthday is coming up, and Christmas is 20 days after that, and my parents said they wouldn't be adverse to getting me a bunch of albums. I'm looking for classic rock outside of the realm of Pink Floyd and The Who I've stuck myself in for a bit too long. Here's the albums I already have.

AC/DC - Back In Black
The Beatles - Revolver
Cream - The Very Best Of Cream
David Gilmour - About Face
David Gilmour - David Gilmour
David Gilmour - On An Island
Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms
Dire Straits - On Every Street
Eric Clapton - The Clapton Chronicles
Eric Clapton - One More Car, One More Rider
Eric Clapton - Rainbow Concert
Eric Clapton - Unplugged
Genesis - Foxtrot
Mark Knopfler - Shangri-La
Paul Simon - Suprise
Pete Townsend - Iron Man
Pete Townshend - Psychoderelict
Pete Townshend - White City
Pink Floyd - Far too much pink floyd
Queen - Greatest Hits
The Ramones - End Of The Century
Roger Waters - Amused To Death
Roger Waters - Radio K.A.O.S.
Roger Waters - The Pros And Cons Of Hitch Hiking
Roger Waters - In The Flesh (^ I feel kinda dirty, and not in a good way...)
The Rolling Stones - Bridges to Babylon
The Rolling Stones - Live Licks
Steely Dan - Everything Must Go
Steely Dan - Two Against Nature
The Who - Pretty much all of it

I mean, if you play like me, you had better have your own band. Nobody wants that amount of participation from a bass player.

The album mentioned by that lame poster above me sucks even more than most of the records you own.

If I were you, I'd get the rest of Beatles' classic stuff, some Hendrix, Led Zeppelin...

Prediction: Your final list to pick from should look a little something like this:

a certain number of all albums produced that you recognize and some you do not



from that list your parents let you choose ten so make 'em count.
