Then how about...
"Mr. Soul" and "Expecting to Fly" are outstanding.
Stephen Stills' "Bluebird" was great too.

Perhaps the first thing that leaps out is that it's a very Beatle-centric list. "Sgt. Pepper" is No. 1 as it often is in such lists, but two of the top three albums are by the Beatles, three of the first five and four of the first 10.
The first 10 are:
1) "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" by the Beatles 2) "Pet Sounds" by the Beach Boys 3) "Revolver" by the Beatles 4) "Highway 61 Revisited" by Bob Dylan 5) "Rubber Soul" by the Beatles 6) "What's Going On" by Marvin Gaye 7) "Exile on Main Street" by the Rolling Stones 8) "London Calling" by the Clash 9) "Blonde on Blonde" by Bob Dylan 10) "The Beatles" (The White Album) by the Beatles

And, who can forget Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Genesis, Mountain and The Alan Parsons Project?
I could go on and on and on.
Tangerine Dream, Yes, ELO, Electric Light Orchestra.
I'll hush.

Whereas if I was ranking the 70s, I'd include The Yes Album, Chicago Transit Authority, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's "Uncle Charlie and His Dog Teddy," Poco's "Crazy Eyes," Jethro Tull's "Benefit," Jimmie Spheeris' "Isle of View" and ELP's "Brain Salad Surgery" (with ELP's "Trilogy" and triple live album getting honorable mention)
Hendrix made up the words to "Voodoo Chile" as he sang it. The guest musicians really shined on that song.
Amazing that a black guitar player played rock and roll so well when most of them are into blues, soul and jazz. Hendrix did things NO ONE had ever done before.
Aalon Butler plays with Eric Burdon on the "Sun Secrets" album and does a great job. Reminds me a lot of Hendrix. You should hear Burdon sing the old Johnny Cash song, "Ring of Fire" on that album (but you probably already have).
"Starship Trooper" is one of my fave tunes. Have you heard Jon Anderson with Vangelis on "The Friends of Mr Cairo"?

To be honest I haven't heard Eric Burdon's version of "Ring of Fire". I bet it is awesome.
Sweet music. Those were the days. No doubt it.
"I feel alright with my needle and spoon"
I love my old rock music, too. These days I listen to alot of Celtic music, because my ears can only take so much.
Funny thing, this album got trashed by the critics. But so did many other albums that I think are great.
Highly recommended and you won't be the least bit disappointed
It is - somewhere down the line. I looked at it on RS.com. It's garbage as far as I'm concerned. Any list that has two Pearl Jam albums, a Green Day album, and two Nirvana albums but absolutely "zero" Rush albums on it is entirely bogus. I simply do not care what anyone says. Moving Pictures is clearly one of the very best albums that not only the 80s produced but modern rock in its entirety. Opinions are like noses - we all have them and they all smell - but someone has their wires crossed on this one. Simply outrageous!
What, the greatest Garage group left off?
Spot on "Dark side of the Moon" still sounds fresh unlike the ditzy beatle pop stuff.
I must add Hetfield/Metallicas' "kill Em All"
(I will admit my favorites include the Brandenburg Concertos and Albinonis' Adiago for Trumpet and Organ (Budapest Phil rendition is the best))
Revolver is the best Beatles album, with Rubber Soul very close behind. They represent the growth by the musicians, the autonomy from the studios and their learning about new things...
And all the young freepers say, "What's an album?"
