It's outside the purview of the topic (albums), but it might be worth adding that if you want to talk about some of the most consequential music in rock's development, you have to talk about singles from the fifties. Elvis, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Buddy Holly, Gene Vincent and all the rest were primarily singles artists. It was really later, and thanks to people like Dylan and The Beatles, that albums became rock's dominant medium. It might be worth saying, too, that in recent years it's become more of a "singles" market again: I suspect people download individual songs they like more than whole albums. the second issue was going to do top 50 singles to change rock n roll...already pencilled it!

Dear nyxfreyja - Finally, I have to ask - are you the Borg? No, we are not enough to be the Borg.

And bandsm such as The Kinks and Rolling Stones for that matter, were bands to produce awesome greatest hits and top singles...but never for me producced a killer of an album like The Beatles....! Until fairly recently, I was of the same opinion - until I bought The Kinks' Village Green Preservation Society album. From your posts I know you too appreciate good Sixties music - so I would thoroughly recommend you buy this album as a starting point into the Kinks' album releases. I 100% guarantee you will not be disappointed! AL

Try The Kinks' "Face To Face" and "Something Else" if you get a chance. Great records.

I have all 3 of the aforementioned Kinks albums. And don't get me wrong...I love them. But none of them made my top Ten Albums that changed Rock 'n' Roll and nor would they make a personal list of my favourite ten albums of all time.
Act Nice And Gently is a top track though.

For what it's worth (and six months later) this list has to include King Crimson - In The Court of The Crimson King Yes - Fragile Emerson Lake and Palmer - Brain Salad Surgery
I think the La's can make room for one of these as they are pretty shit. And I'm from Liverpool as well.

Yeah alright. Here's another list. I don't consider Otis Redding and The Specials to be rock & roll for a start. And I will put a questionmark behind titles like that of Oasis. Did Morning Glory really change rock & roll? I don't jnow if morning glory affected this genre... but Definitely Maybe did, and that's a fact Pure rock n roll

Well,I would add that in Elvis' case,he was a major LP arist in the 50s-early 60s. But as far as 60s 70s rock,in America Meet The Beatles changed Rock forever.
