I've been going through my CDs and am gonna sell the ones I never really listen to and I noticed that there's a few which are considered to be 'classic' or at least very good albums. Among them were
Kill 'Em All (Metallica)
...And Justice For All (Metallica)
Blood Sugar Sex Magik (RHCP)
The Stooges' first album
Are You Experienced (Hendrix)
Rust In Peace (Megadeth)
Alive! (KISS)
South Of Heaven (Slayer)
I don't dislike them, and they all have a few songs I like, it's just that for me they've never met the hype they always seem to get.
Any albums you've not thought that much of but seem to get praised by everyone else??
Albums which are supposed to be great but you just can't get into

Almost anything by Fleetwood Mac (snoozefest) and Velvet Underground (pretentious crap...how can being bad at playing instruments be a precursor to great music? IT CAN'T!)

Dark Side of the Moon
Its very good, but I usually pass over it when I'm scanning for something to listen to. Just not a must listen to for me.
I loved it for about six months my senior year of HS, which to no surprise was accompanied by heavy pot use. After that....eh. It was trippy shit stoned though, gotta give it that.

Some of the Peter Green-era live stuff is great - Boston Tea Party for example.
I don't include Peter Green in my otherwise general dislike of FM. Unfortunately, when was the last time you heard a Green song played anywhere?

A bit off topic, but classic rock radio sucks balls.
Here's what they'll play:
Rush
Something good
Styx
Heart
Supertramp
More fucking Rush
The OTHER Heart song you know
Bryan Adams
GOD DAMN IT!

^ Here's a killer Rush song you'd probably dig, Sir:
Excuse the fan-made video, but it's the only studio version I could find.

Pretty much everything Led Zeppelin ever did. I dunno why but there's just something so trite about it all, i feel a little patronised and insulted everytime i give em a chance. i wouldn't go so far as to call The Stooges first album hyped though. I mean it's considered a pretty funky little album and a sign pointing the way to potential but it's very much considered a gateway album i think.
