Boston and The Cars are the standouts, especially for regional connection or sustained listening.

All the albums are masterpieces and equally worthy; picking one is impossible and unnecessary.

Van Halen will always hold that spot for me because it's the first cassette I bought with my 1st check from my 1st "real" job.
-
Guns n Roses all the way! My friend group had one cassette between all of us and we would "steal" it from each other to listen to it lol

Dang it’s like asking what strain of weed you like - There is NO wrong choice!!
-
We weren’t on the same wavelength. Because they were all tied together. So it really doesn’t matter because they are all great 👍🏻
-
The Cars! I was obsessed. Boston is a close second.
-
Oh, absolutely The Cars without question.
-
I'm with you,Ann, I still listen to that album regularly
-
I would say Boston or Van Halen outside these would be "Mechanical Resonance" by Tesla was strong I was going to mention "Asia" by Asia, but that's a bit 0f a cheat because they were all well-seasoned in band and studio life
-
Tough choice between Jimi and Led Zep. I'll have to go with Jimi. ❤️🙏🏽✨️

The very first album I bought with my own money- for $6.79 with babysitting money - continues to shine in my family. A few weeks ago my hub, son & I sang “Rock & Roll Band” at the top of our lungs over pints of Guinness in our Boston hotel bar ahead of our godson’s wedding. Pure joy.

Lynyrd Skynyrds first album pretty much defined my generation. I still have a Freebird Tee. Not from 73.
-
Led Zeppelin 🎶🎶🎸though I own most of those ☺️
-
it's a toss up between Boston and Lynyrd Skynyrd. I was lucky enough to see them both right after their albums were released.
-
Boston. Just has my groove. Saw them perform at the Garden, while I was sitting in the nose bleed seats. Myself and a bunch of senior high school schoolers. Still love the album.
-
it has to be jimi for me... if you can just get your mind together then come on across to me we'll hold hands & then we'll watch the sunrise from the bottom of the sea but first are you experienced? or have you ever been experienced? well i have

-
Tough choices! Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix are tied for me.
-
I lived in Massachusetts in the 70s and 80s. Asking me to pick between Boston and The Cars is impossible.
-
Led Zep but to me More than a Feeling was the best song.
-
I remember that nine disc set. Wow, what a deal!! A true sampler pack back in the day. Hard to choose. The cars i guess since it's the one I still listen to the most. They were all wonderful tho.

Can I please say all? I love everyone of them.
