2. Are You Experienced?

This was the groundbreaking debut album by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, blending blues, rock, and psychedelia to redefine electric guitar playing.

The album was produced by Chas Chandler and featured Jimi Hendrix, Noel Redding on bass, and Mitch Mitchell on drums.

The personnel of the Rolling Stones in 1968 was Mick Jagger (vocals, harmonica), Keith Richards (guitars, bass, vocals), Brian Jones (slide guitar, harmonica, sitar, mellotron), Bill Wyman (bass, percussion), and Charlie Watts (drums).
4. Abbey Road

Released in September 1969, "Abbey Road" was the final studio album recorded by The Beatles, representing a pinnacle of their technical and artistic maturity. Despite being recorded amidst intense internal tension, it features polished, collaborative work, including hits "Come Together," "Something," and "Here Comes the Sun," along with a famous Side 2 medley.
5. Led Zeppelin III

Released on October 5, 1970, "Led Zeppelin III" marked a significant stylistic shift for the band, embracing folk, blues, and acoustic-driven arrangements heavily influenced by songwriting sessions at the Bron-Yr-Aur cottage in Wales. While retaining hard rock elements, the album demonstrated a more mature, diverse sound featuring acoustic-based tracks like "Gallows Pole" alongside heavier songs like "Immigrant Song".
6. Who's Next

Released in August 1971, The Who's "Who's Next" was a landmark classic rock album originating from Pete Townshend's aborted sci-fi multimedia project, "Lifehouse". Renowned for pioneering the use of synthesizers alongside hard rock, it features hits like "Baba O'Riley" and "Won't Get Fooled Again".
7. Machine Head

Released in March 1972, Deep Purple's "Machine Head" was a landmark hard rock/proto-metal album, reaching number one in the UK and featuring songs like "Smoke on the Water" and "Highway Star". Recorded in Montreux, Switzerland, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio, the album was famously created after the planned venue burned down, inspiring "Smoke on the Water".
8. Dark Side of the Moon

Released in 1973, Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon" was a seminal progressive rock concept album exploring the pressures of modern life, including time, greed, conflict, death, and mental illness. Known for its seamless, experimental soundscapes, it remains a landmark, top-selling album, largely inspired by the mental decline of former member Syd Barrett.
9. Bad Company

Released in May 1974, "Bad Company" was the acclaimed debut album by the English hard rock supergroup of the same name. Featuring members from Free (singer Paul Rodgers and drummer Simon Kirke), Mott the Hoople (guitarist Mick Ralphs), and King Crimson (bassist Boz Burrell), the album was one of the highlights of 1970s blues-rock, known for its raw, soulful, and confident sound.

It was the first release on Led Zeppelin's Swan Song label and achieved massive commercial success.
10. A Night at the Opera

Released in 1975, Queen's "A Night at the Opera" was a progressive rock album renowned for its ambitious, genre-blending sound-fusing opera, metal, pop, and jazz without synthesizers. It featured the iconic "Bohemian Rhapsody" and highlighted the band's creative peak, becoming one of the most expensive and sophisticated productions of its era.
