Top Rock Albums
I thought it might be fun to share some of my favorite rock albums.
To celebrate my friend's birthday, the opening of the codeshirts.rocks store, and a blog post about his favorite albums, I thought it might be fun to share a few of my favorite rock albums in no particular order.
Blast from my past
5: Led Zepplin. Led Zepplin IV 1971.

4: Cheap Trick, at buddokan 1979.

2: UFO, Strangers in the night. 1979.

1: AC-DC, Highway to Hell. 1979.
