Springsteen should not be on any list expect one for people who cannot sing.

[Responsibility2nd]

Thanks!

Simon and Garfunkel is “rock”? Awful wide definition there....

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Too many collections.

[Gay State Conservative]

I’ve only bought five of them in vinyl and/or CD.

1977, just amazing music in that one year alone

[Mouton]

Carol king and rock ?

[woodbutcher1963]

It’s surprising that not one Rolling Stones album made the list.
Even their Greatest Hits 71-75 album

[Sirius Lee]

Queens Greatest Hits sold over 25 million. Surprised it didn’t make the list.

Some nay most of those 60-70’s songs were of the primitive repete he chorus variety. Same thing over and over for 2.5 minutes:

Keep on rocking me baby
Keep on rocking me baby
Keep on rocking me baby
Keep on rocking me baby
Keep on rocking me baby
Keep on rocking me baby
Keep on rocking me baby
Keep on rocking me baby
Keep on rocking me baby
Keep on rocking me baby

[mairdie]

Wonderful list. So very many memories.

Uhh.. According to the library of congress:
“The Dark Side of the Moon” spent an astonishing 14 years on the “Billboard” album charts, and sold an estimated 45 million copies.

Which would put it first on that list.
