Joni Mitchell's stuff-totally agree
Zappa's The Grand Wazoo and Waka Jawaka-even though they're avant garde jazz/rock it's amazing stuff that's not often mentioned and some of his best, IMHO
Free's Heartbreaker-Great early Paul Rogers
Hendix's Cry of Love album
Skynyrds' Gimme Back My Bullets

Realistic fan.
I agree, along with Joe Walsh being with The James Gang.
I also would add Warren Zevon Excitable Boy.
Ramones self-titled debut album.

Fun Thread...
Love some of the bands mentioned and will certainly be checking out these albums/groups I'm not familiar with.
**Wishbone ash**..wow.....heard of them but don't really know their catalog at all....! Thanks for mentioning them...
It's actually REALLY hard to think of Classic Rock Bands whose albums didn't do well. I guess that would mean bad Sales or critical reviews.
Classic Rock for me is:
-rock music from the early 60's to the mid 80's?
With all this in mind....
My entry would be:
Anything by the Ramones

High Time by The MC5
Kill City by Iggy Pop and James Williamson (aka the lost The Stooges album)
Blank Generation by Richard Hell and Voidoids
Marquee Moon by Television
Adventure by Television
Lust For Life by Iggy Pop/David Bowie
Also, if Axl Rose had written different lyrics for One In A Million, it'd be one of rock's all time classics. Damn that song is otherwise really, really good.

I would also like to add Back Door Men by the Shadows of Knight. A northwest suburban Chicago group in the mid 60's that had a big hit with Gloria.
this!!!!
"THE KINGSMEN In Person"...
The Wand LP, not the Sundazed CD. The sound is that of a recorded-live album. However there are rumors it is just crowd noise over studio recordings, something I don't want to believe because the mix on the album does a great job of putting the listener in a dark club with the band playing to a crowd as much concerned with it's own conversations as with the band. It sounds real, and the band's playing comes through as more polished than one would expect, something the crowd seems to appreciate as it does manage to applaud and cheer at appropriate times.
Even though the reissue CD has a few extra songs some of the tracks are compromised because crowd noise has been elevated enough to cover the band's playing.

Yea, "Thick As a Brick" is a masterpiece, IMHO.
Early;(before they became successful) Reo Speedwagon, ARS and Marshall Tucker.
