A local radio station has this posted on their website. In no particular order:

- Red Hot Chili Peppers: Blood Sugar Sex Magik
- Nirvana: Nevermind
- Pearl Jam: Ten
- Guns N Roses: Appetite For Destruction
- Foo fighters: The Colour and the Shape
- Bon Jovi: Slippery When Wet
- Stone Temple Pilots: Core
- Green Day: American Idiot
- Metallica: Metallica
- Soundgarden: Superunknown
- Offspring: Smash
- The White Stripes: Elephant
- Aerosmith: Pump
- U2: Achtung Baby
- Radiohead: OK Computer
- Oasis: What's the Story (Morning Glory)
- Weezer: Blue Album
- The Killers: Hot Fuss
- The Black Keys: El Camino
- Smashing Pumpkins: Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness


Some of these are great, but some of them I find surprising. I guess its "most loved" and not "best of all time" which I guess are different categories. What say you, ATOT?
 
I like Blue Album, Smash, Colour and the Shape, and Nevermind (though I think Nirvana had better albums, but Nevermind was the breakthrough I guess).

I got Colour and the Shape in junior high, or maybe it was the summer between junior high and high school (1997), and I've loved it ever since. What a frickin awesome album.

But I think my most loved (rock) ones are:
- "Punk Rock Confidential" by The Queers
- "Full Circle" by Pennywise
- "Pump Up The Valium"/"White Trash, Two Heebs, and a Bean"/"Punk in Drublic" by NOFX (tie)
- "Rev" by Ten Foot Pole
 
I don't own any of them, and I only see one or two I'd select from a pile to play. I'd just say fuck it, and hook my phone up to the stereo for something to listen to.
 
Led Zeppelin: Houses of the Holy and Physical Graffiti
Pink Floyd The Wall and Dark Side of the Moon
Enigma's first
Eagles The Long Run and Hotel California
Santana have to pick one
The Doors greatest hits
Yes greatest hits

There's 10 anyway - I really expected to have The Who and Beatles, but by album...
 
I don't buy it. What is "most loved" and who exactly had say in this? As posted above, it's very hard to see someone like Zeppelin or The Beatles missing from this list.

Quadrophenia followed by Who's Next followed by It's Hard. The Beatles, I blow hot and cold on, mostly cold this decade.

Quadrophenia comes close, but I recently realized I only love one song, Love Reign O'er Me (their masterpiece IMO). So it didn't make the list.

The two next are between Who's Next or Who Are You - Who's Next does have classics, but most loved all time, just didn't feel it. The only great song on It's Hard IMO, Eminence Front.

Yeah, every freaking song is just great! Technically, they are STILL under contract to make one more album.

I don't think that's happening any time soon.... 🙁

But I agree. Every song is great. Hitch a Ride is one of my favorite guitar solos. A great album for driving.
 
In context this was probably the one guy's most loved list. I would agree with a lot of those but I'm under 40. We all know that your favorite music for the most part was likely what you listened to in your teens / early 20s anyway. Based on that I'd put the radio station guy at around the same age me. Late 30s.

Why?

Lots of 90s Alt Rock
3 of the biggest hair rock / rock mid-late 80s albums (Aerosmith / Bon Jovi / GnR)
Some modern stuff that kind of reminds us of 80s/90s alt (Killers / Black Keys / White Stripes)

I see the generational angle here.
