4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (61 customer reviews)

Led Zeppelin IV

4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (82 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Live Cream Volume II
4.  Live Cream Volume II by Cream

4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (10 customer reviews)

Vagabonds Of The Western World

4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (11 customer reviews)

Power of Rock & Roll
8.  Power of Rock & Roll by Frank Marino
The list author says:
  "Absolutely awesome. No one comes close to Frank for this style of pentatonic shred. His playing is incredably fast over music that thunders along like a souped-up juggernaut. Hendrix on speed."

Stage Struck
10.  Stage Struck by Rory Gallagher

4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (5 customer reviews)

Live
11.  Live by Johnny Winter
