Favorite Rock Albums

I was careful to word the title with "favorite" instead of "best." So, here is a typical offseason music kind of thread. What are your favorite rock albums of all time? Do a top 5, top 10, top 25, top 100, I don't care...

The Dogs D'Amour - In the Dynamite Jet Saloon
Hanoi Rocks - Bangkok Shocks, Saigon Shakes...
Def Leppard - High'n'Dry
Grateful Dead - American Beauty
Led Zeppelin - II
Cinderella - Long Cold Winter
Hanoi Rocks - Self Destruction Blues
G'n'R - Appetite for Destruction
AC/DC - Powerage
Joan Jett & the Blackhearts - Album
Beatles - Revolver
Stones - Sticky Fingers
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Bon Jovi - New Jersey
Motley Crue - Dr. Feelgood
