1	Led Zeppelin (1969) more music like this by Led Zeppelin add to wishlist Led Zeppelin had a fully formed, distinctive sound from the outset, as their eponymous debut illustrates. Taking the heavy, distorted electric blues of Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, and Cream to an extreme, Zeppelin created a majestic, powerful brand of guitar rock constructed around simple, memorable riffs and lumbering rhythms. But the key to the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.76!
2	Back in Black (1980) more music like this by AC/DC add to wishlist The first sound on Back in Black is the deep, ominous drone of church bells -- or "Hell's Bells," as it were, opening the album and AC/DC's next era with a fanfare while ringing a fond farewell to Bon Scott, their late lead singer who partied himself straight to hell. But this implies that Back in Black is some kind of tribute to Scott, which may ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $8.51!
3	Led Zeppelin II (1969) more music like this by Led Zeppelin add to wishlist Recorded quickly during Led Zeppelin's first American tours, Led Zeppelin II provided the blueprint for all the heavy metal bands that followed it. Since the group could only enter the studio for brief amounts of time, most of the songs that compose II are reworked blues and rock & roll standards that the band was performing on-stage at the time. ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.57!
4	Dirt (1992) more music like this by Alice in Chains add to wishlist Dirt is Alice in Chains' major artistic statement and the closest they ever came to recording a flat-out masterpiece. It's a primal, sickening howl from the depths of Layne Staley's heroin addiction, and one of the most harrowing concept albums ever recorded. Not every song on Dirt is explicitly about heroin, but Jerry Cantrell's solo-written ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.22!
5	The Platinum Collection, Vol. 1-3 (2001) more music like this by Queen add to wishlist Queen's The Platinum Collection collection places the group's three previously released Greatest Hits albums into one box set -- colored platinum, of course. Although this doesn't serve much use for fans that already have all three collections -- or all of the albums, for that matter -- it is useful for listeners that want to get all three discs ... see all copies from $12.05! new only from $12.05!
6	Physical Graffiti (1975) more music like this by Led Zeppelin add to wishlist Led Zeppelin returned from a nearly two-year hiatus in 1975 with Physical Graffiti, a sprawling, ambitious double album. Zeppelin treat many of the songs on Physical Graffiti as forays into individual styles, only occasionally synthesizing sounds, notably on the tense, Eastern-influenced "Kashmir." With John Paul Jones' galloping keyboard, ... see all copies from $8.74! new only from $16.64!
7	Alice in Chains (1995) more music like this by Alice In Chains add to wishlist Dispelling rumors of their demise due to Layne Staley's heroin addiction, Alice in Chains is a sonically detailed effort that ranks as their best-produced record, and its best moments are easily some of their most mature music. Alice in Chains relies less on metallic riffs and more on melody and texturally varied arrangements than the group's ... see all copies from $2.03! new only from $6.22!
8	Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (1976) more music like this by AC/DC add to wishlist There's a real sense of menace to "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap," the title song of AC/DC's third album. More than most of their songs to date, it captured the seething malevolence of Bon Scott, the sense that he reveled in doing bad things, encouraged by the maniacal riffs of Angus and Malcolm Young who provided him with their most brutish rock ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.70!
9	Vault: Def Leppard Greatest Hits (1995) more music like this by Def Leppard add to wishlist Def Leppard was untouchable in the '80s. Over the course of four albums, the band established itself as one of the best and most popular hard rock/heavy metal groups of the decade, scoring a long list of hit singles. Vault compiles the biggest of those hits, as well as selections from their first album of the '90s, Adrenalize, and the outtakes ... see all copies from $4.28! new only from $10.41!
10	Led Zeppelin IV (1971) more music like this by Led Zeppelin add to wishlist Encompassing heavy metal, folk, pure rock & roll, and blues, Led Zeppelin's untitled fourth album is a monolithic record, defining not only Led Zeppelin but the sound and style of '70s hard rock. Expanding on the breakthroughs of III, Zeppelin fuse their majestic hard rock with a mystical, rural English folk that gives the record an epic scope. ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.39!
11	Led Zeppelin III (1970) more music like this by Led Zeppelin add to wishlist On their first two albums, Led Zeppelin unleashed a relentless barrage of heavy blues and rockabilly riffs, but Led Zeppelin III provided the band with the necessary room to grow musically. While there are still a handful of metallic rockers, III is built on a folky, acoustic foundation that gives the music extra depth. And even the rockers aren't ... see all copies from $6.75! new only from $12.47!
12	Aenima (1996) more music like this by Tool add to wishlist For their third release, Tool explore the progressive rock territory previously forged by such bands as King Crimson. However, Tool are conceptually innovative with every minute detail of their art, which sets them apart from most bands. Make no mistake, this isn't your father's rock record. Sonically, the band has never sounded tighter. Long ... see all copies from $7.75! new only from $9.81!
13	The Best of Both Worlds (2004) more music like this by Van Halen add to wishlist It's no secret that there's a deep animosity between Van Halen -- particularly their leader, guitarist Edward (formerly Eddie) Van Halen -- and their former frontman, David Lee Roth. His 1985 departure was acrimonious, and while his solo career paled in comparison to Van Halen's continued success with Sammy Hagar as their frontman, the group never ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $16.33!
14	Van Halen (1978) more music like this by Van Halen add to wishlist Among revolutionary rock albums, Van Halen's debut often gets short shrift. Although it altered perceptions of what the guitar could do, it is not spoken of in the same reverential tones as Are You Experienced? and although it set the template for how rock & roll sounded for the next decade or more, it isn't seen as an epochal generational shift, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.85!
15	1984 (1984) more music like this by Van Halen add to wishlist At the time of its release, much of the fuss surrounding 1984 involved Van Halen's adoption of synthesizers on this, their sixth album -- a hoopla that was a bit of a red herring since the band had been layering in synths since their third album, Women and Children First. Those synths were either buried beneath guitars or used as texture, even on ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.48!
16	O, Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits (2002) more music like this by Aerosmith add to wishlist As the sixth domestic Aerosmith hits collection and the first to feature selections from both their Columbia and Geffen years (not to mention that it's the second double-disc retrospective released within eight months), The Ultimate Aerosmith Hits should live up to its title -- and it does, for the most part. Over the course of two discs and 30 ... see all copies from $13.29! new only from $13.29!
17	Toys in the Attic (1975) more music like this by Aerosmith add to wishlist After nearly getting off the ground with Get Your Wings, Aerosmith finally perfected their mix of Stonesy raunch and Zeppelin-esque riffing with their third album, Toys in the Attic. The success of the album derives from a combination of an increased sense of songwriting skills and purpose. Not only does Joe Perry turn out indelible riffs like ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.20!
18	Women and Children First (1980) more music like this by Van Halen add to wishlist After two pure party albums, the inevitable had to happen: it was time for Van Halen to mature, or at least get a little serious. And so, Women and Children First, a record where the group started to get heavier, both sonically and, to a lesser extent, thematically, changing the feel of the band ever so slightly. Where the first two records were ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.52!
19	...And Justice for All (1988) more music like this by Metallica add to wishlist The most immediately noticeable aspect of ...And Justice for All isn't Metallica's still-growing compositional sophistication or the apocalyptic lyrical portrait of a society in decay. It's the weird, bone-dry production. The guitars buzz thinly, the drums click more than pound, and Jason Newsted's bass is nearly inaudible. It's a shame that the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $14.32!
20	Mothership (2007) more music like this by Led Zeppelin add to wishlist Led Zeppelin's reunion for an Ahmet Ertegun tribute concert in November 2007 (pushed back a couple of weeks due to a finger injury Jimmy Page sustained during rehearsals) seemed like a spur of the moment thing -- but how spontaneous could it have been if it just happened to coincide with the release of an expanded The Song Remains the Same on both ... see all copies from $5.09! new only from $11.82!
21	Metallica (1991) more music like this by Metallica add to wishlist After the muddled production and ultracomplicated song structures of ...And Justice for All, Metallica decided that they had taken the progressive elements of their music as far as they could and that a simplification and streamlining of their sound was in order. While the assessment made sense from a musical standpoint, it also presented an ... see all copies from $2.77! new only from $15.36!
22	Appetite for Destruction (1987) more music like this by Guns N' Roses add to wishlist Guns N' Roses' debut, Appetite for Destruction was a turning point for hard rock in the late '80s -- it was a dirty, dangerous, and mean record in a time when heavy metal meant nothing but a good time. On the surface, Guns N' Roses may appear to celebrate the same things as their peers -- namely, sex, liquor, drugs, and rock & roll -- but there is ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.39!
23	Lateralus (2001) more music like this by Tool add to wishlist After an exhaustive five-year litigation battle between the band and their label management, Tool offer up the latest chapter in their musical self-discovery in Lateralus. Make no mistake, this is a prog rock record, reminiscent of King Crimson and Meddle-era Pink Floyd, with a hint of Rush mutated with Tool's signature sonic assault on the ears. ... see all copies from $4.92! new only from $9.74!
24	Diver Down (1982) more music like this by Van Halen add to wishlist Fair Warning was such a dark, intense record that Van Halen almost had no choice but to lighten up on their next album, and 1982's Diver Down is indeed much lighter than its predecessor. In many ways, it's a return to the early albums, heavy on covers and party anthems, but where those records were rough and exuberant -- they felt like the work ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.50!
25	Rock of Ages: The Definitive Collection (2005) more music like this by Def Leppard add to wishlist The 2005 double-disc set Rock of Ages: The Definitive Collection is the second Def Leppard compilation to be released in the U.S. The first, Vault: Def Leppard Greatest Hits, appeared ten years earlier, and while the band was active in the decade separating the two albums, charting fairly consistently, it didn't have any major hits during that ... see all copies from $8.95! new only from $16.45!
