Mm, good list but to me, this is more a list of best ‘70’s hard rock than “classic rock”. With the term “classic rock”, I think more of bands like Queen, Dire Straits, Eagles, Fleedwood Mac, Meatloaf, ELO. Of course, there are no fixed definitions here.

I’d have to also vote for: Aerosmith Rocks and Montrose. Personally, I’d rate these albums above Fire and Water and Ace of Spades if you were keeping this to 10 (but that’s my personal taste). Hell with it: need a top 20. Tres Hombres, Physical Graffiti, Boston, Strangers in the Night and on and on. Wait: no Who?

Hey Andy, thought it was interesting that you have two bands with Richie Blackmore on this list. I quite agree with that.

Neither....EVERYBODY says "linird skinird", naturally given the spelling. Hence, the phonetic spelling of the first album title. It's an inconsistent attempt to spell, you're correct, "Leonard Skinnard" or however the man's name was spelt (i have only one device with me at the moment, otherwise i'd check). Naturally, since they used "eh", Mr Edwards pronounced "A". If they wanted it done correctly, they should have used the IPA, which, as much as it is my favorite beverage, is also the International Phonetic Alphabet: "e", no "h".

Oof. I tried to follow you here man, but I was surprised. I think maybe I’m a little confused by your definition of “Classic Rock”. I would include bands from the 1960s in that definition. Hendrix is certainly classic rock to me. But if I even just think of the best Classic Rock from the 1970s, I would include all kinds of bands that perhaps you don’t define as Classic Rock? I think maybe what you call “classic rock” is what I’d call “heavy rock”. If I had a list of classic rock strictly from the 1970s, my list would have included Van Halen 1 and Led Zep IV for sure. But not the other 8. Definitely would not pick Lynyrd Skynyrd over the Allman Brothers to represent southern rock of the 1970s. I’d include Exile on Main Street, American Beauty, Dark Side Of The Moon. Aja by Steely Dan has to be one of the best albums of the 1970s. But I guess you’d exclude that as jazz-rock? The clash would be punk? The stones would be “rock n roll”? Floyd and Dead would be psychedelic? CSN would be folk? Is that what’s going on? Classic rock = heavy rock that doesn't quite rise to heavy metal? Or is Motorhead better than the Rolling Stones?!?

At the beginning you'll go into some really nice detail talking about records or artists and your experience with them, your views on specific areas of the music and so on, while by the end you seem to be rushing through, almost as if there's a time limit involved. is there a specific reason for this? I personally wouldn't mind if you talked for a bit longer so each album or artist could get sort of equal treatment.

Wonderful job with the impossible list. Thanks for the walk down memory lane. Just checked out an amazing drum cover of Cosmic Strut btw. Kicked @ss. I guess I am about 7 years older than you. My last year as a teenager was 1980. We have much in common in regards to music exposure and appreciation. I must agree with your number one, I wore the groves off Led Zeppelin IV. Your videos make me very aware of how fortunate I was, in regards to music exposure. In my city we had two traditional Jazz radio stations….(didn’t know at the time it was weird for a young boy to be into Jazz)… Two independent Stations…. They would play anything they felt like From Blue Grass to Weather Report, Genesis, Gong. Plus many opportunities to hear music played live. Caught David Allen live, Genesis‘ wind and weathering tour, Won free tickets for Peter Gabriel‘s first tour off WGTB Radio, Double dated to a Renaissance concert where Al De Meola opened, set me off on a Return to Forever buying spree. Billy Cobham played a small club in D.C. that set me off on Mahavishnu Orchestra. The greatest face melting show for me was Frank Zappa in the late 70‘s. The band was as tight as you would expect, but that night Frank‘s improv was off the charts. The best I have ever experienced. Now, in the middle of this, as I was 15 I caught 2 Led Zeppelin shows in one weekend. Absolutely amazing. The last night I sneaked my way down to the forth row of a large basketball arena. Every song was a highlight of the night. At one point Jimmy was in a green laser pyramid thing and pulled out his violin bow. I think it was Dazed and Confused or Whole lotta Love, sorry I can’t remember for sure, but at the end Jimmy broke into a lead that made the arena go absolutely crazy. For me is no doubt Led Zeppelin deserves your number one spot. So to my point: Going to California is not a week track. They came out and played it sitting on 4 stools together. At the end Robert held a high note for 15 seconds or so. The girls went Crazy. Maybe the biggest response of the night. Looking forward to your next video.

AC/DC? The soundtrack to the movie "Battleship" is the only use for this band. Rush are awful due to their own mediocrity. It is clear they are all talented musicians but the music is unmemorable and the opposite of synergy, bandwise. Peart's singing is insufferable. His nasal cavity is like a trumpet, but it is the only thing detracting from the lack of depth in the lyrics and passable music (for those who favor yawn worthy dad rock). I am glad Sabbath was on there. Van Halen were in decline the day David left the band.

Always loving to hear your opinions and I don't really have a problem with them the problem I always have and any kind of a list is for me personally if I was to come up with my top 10 albums I would immediately start my next top 10 albums and then my next top 10 albums whether it's in classic rock Psych country rock Folk Progressive I just like listening to music and what I may not have liked when I was 17 I find that at 67 I like it I'm a lot more forgiving of the '80s than I ever was when I was living in the '80s very little they had to offer me his way of rock and roll yes metal started to get better and it may have been part of the Saving Grace but really when the '80s hit there was a handful of bands that saved it for me and that would have been John Cougar Mellencamp Dire Straits The Stray Cats were different enough from the hair metal I was not impressed with Motley Crue they reminded me too much of Aerosmith Whitesnake reminded me too much of Zeppelin did not like the over techno sound I like more organic rock and roll even Emerson Lake and Palmer and yes that you synthesizers they weren't techno bands the '90s came along with alternative rock and grunge and started to bring me back into the fold I found them interesting but in the '80s I pretty much went to Outlaw country and became a big fan of it but Rock and roll's already begin to lose me in the 2000s and I may like it if God allows me to live another 10-20 years I may look back on the and say you know I missed out on a lot of good music because I'm a naturally backward person don't do well with change and yet music is perpetually changing so suck it up and get used to it I keep reminding myself keep up the good work brother and I guarantee you everybody listening to you could always throw in their favorite band and that is a big difference between my favorites and what I know to be the best my favorites will always win out

Great list.Re Motorhead I had listened to Overkill and thought it was ok but not anything special then a pal gave me Ace of Spades and that was it.I played the hell out of that album.I just couldnt stop listening to it and to this day the moment I hear that thunderous opening bass I'm like "oh yeah." Funnily enough Overkill is now my favourite MH album.The 70's are my fave era in heavy rock.This is when so many of the foundations were laid and,imo,have never been bettered.

Nice to see Free on here. Almost more of an R&B band because of Andy Fraser's Jamerson style playing. Are Live albums a cheat? I would have The Who "Live at Leeds" on here: Intellegent and primal, sophisticated and dangerous all at the same time.

Don't know how you can say Vol.4 is heavier than Master of Reality - Into The Void is the heaviest song Sabbath ever did & Lord Of This World is not far behind. I love all the Ozzy albums & would find it difficult to choose a favourite but I can definitely say MOR was the heaviest. Where is 1972's Doremi Fasol Latido by Hawkwind on your list? The best stuff Lemmy ever recorded & the bass solo on Time We Left This World Today still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up, far better than anything he ever did with Motorhead. Glad someone in the comments mentions Montrose's debut album. Equally glad the dreadful Queen are not mentioned in your list.

What? No 5 minute rant about Zeppelin? Also. I think Dark Side of the Moon should have been in the list.

All or most are blues based. That's been gone now for a while. Also, I would add Foghat,ZZ Top,and Grand Funk Railroad.

Wow...I am a derelict! I have never bought any Skynyrd, Motorhead, Rainbow. I only picked up FLY BY NIGHT about 5 years ago. Never bought early Van Halen or any AC/DC. OK, got Free (Andy Fraser gets a great tone out of that Gibson bass. Funky!), Deep Purple, Sabbath, Zeppelin. By 1976, my Jazz Nazi daze began. It's funny how only about 5 years makes a difference. Deep Purple was one of "my" bands...Rainbow just never floated my boat. My wife, a teen in thd '80s, loves AC//DC. I do not. :-)

@@AndyEdwardsDrummer I thought you might be swayed by the Allmans tendency to improv. I'd be interested in hearing your take on the blues - I'm a fan myself but alternative views always welcome. Although you've got to admit ' I have a problem with the Blues' does sound a bit like the title of a blues tune!😁

The Allman Brothers Band is certainly the quintessential southern rock group for me (I do appreciate Lynyrd Skynyrd, among others, as well).

Master of Reality and Sabotage are darker and heavier than Vol 4, IMO.
