I had to reread that several times before I realized what you were referring to. I was like "WTF is VH1984? Basic cable must really suck now cuz all I have is VH1."

yeah tough call (need eruption), could get the greatest hits album I guess, but for some reason a greatest hits album doesn't flow as well as a studio album. Solution, get them both.

 

[broon]

Yep. Greatest Hits for any band is probably the way to go. Gotta have Sweet Home Alabama, some Who, some Crosby, Stills, and Nash.

 

[Platypus]

Led Zeppelin - I-IV + Houses of the Holy
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon, Animals, The Wall, The Final Cut
Doors - Box Set
Black Sabbath - Paranoid, Masters of Reality
The Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed
Supertramp - Crime of the Century
Cream - Wheel Of Fire, Fresh Cream, Disraeli Gears
Bob Seger - Stranger in Town
Jimi Hendrix - Electric Lady Land, Are You Experienced
The Who - Who Are You?

There are too many others to list but those are off the top of my head

 

[FoBoT]

Bad Company - Desolation Angel - 1979
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Green River
Deep Purple - Machine Head
Cheap Trick - At Budokan
Queen - A Night At The Opera
The Allman Brothers Band - Eat a Peach


a crapload more and more and more

Although Joe Satriani is awesome (I own his entire catalog of CD's) I wouldn't call his genre classic rock bro.
