That's a suberb list of Live Albums Mr. Mojo but I'm surprised that you did't include Peter Frampton "Comes Alive"...heh heh heh.

With so many great albums recorded over the decades it's kinda tough to distill it down to 10 albums, so I didn't, but Below are some of my favorite albums.

The Doors--Doors 1
The Yardbirds--Over Under Sides Down
Jimi Hendrix Experience--Electric Ladyland
Led Zepplin--IV
Creedence Clearwater Revival--Cosmo's Factory
Jeff Beck--Blow by Blow
Van Morrision--His Band and the Street Choir
The Who--Live at Leeds
The Beatles--Abbey Road
Eric Clapton--Eric Clapton (1970)
Yes--Fragile
Paul McCartney--Ram
Moody Blues--Days of Future Passed
Talking Heads--Stop Making Sense
Steely Dan--Can’t Buy a Cheap Thrill (Jeff "Skunk" Baxter puts SD over the top)

LOL...Yeah, I thought about putting Frampton Comes Alive as a joke just to see how many people would give me grief about it.

Excellent albums on your list there. McCartney's Ram is a lesser-known favorite of mine as well, as is Van's Street Choir. Distilling my favorite studio releases down to a dozen would a tough task. Listing only live albums (as I did earlier) is a lot easier. ....I'll give it some thought.

Well, I got it down to my top 25 favorite studio albums, limiting it to one album per band. (If I didn't, the list would quickly get out of control). I also excluded pure blues albums. Again, in no particular order:

The Band (The Brown Album) - The Band
Highway 61 Revisited
Beggars Banquet - Rolling Stones
Abbey Road - Beatles
Tonight's the Night - Neil Young
Second Helping - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Idlewild South - Allman Brothers
Led Zeppelin 4
Station to Station - David Bowie
Are You Experienced? - Jimi Hendrix
Layla - Derek and the Dominos
The Doors - The Doors
We're Only in it for the Money - Frank Zappa
The Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd
There's a Riot Going on - Sly & the Family Stone
Moby Grape - Moby Grape
Yardbirds - Over Under Sides Down
Every Picture Tells a Story - Rod Stewart
Get Your Wings - Aerosmith
Innervisions - Stevie Wonder
Astral Weeks - Van Morrison
Quadrophenia - The Who
Relayer - Yes
Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen
Bayou Country - Creedence Clearwater Revival

...No doubt I forgot a few.
