2.  Machine Head: 25th Anniversary Edition by Deep Purple

Led Zeppelin IV
4.  Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
The list author says:

Back In Black
10.  Back In Black by AC/DC
The list author says:

The Wall
13.  The Wall by Pink Floyd

Pulse
14.  Pulse by Pink Floyd
The list author says:
  "Possibly the best live set I have ever heard. Worth buying just for the encores, but particularly impressive is the band's rendition of the whole of Dark Side, but the first disc is strong as well."

For Those About To Rock (We Salute You)
17.  For Those About To Rock (We Salute You) by AC/DC

Black Sabbath
19.  Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
The list author says:
  "BS's debut is full of really raw metal, from the spooky title track to the jazzy guitar of Tony Iommi on Wicked World, and the pure power of N.I.B, which includes a great bass solo from Geezer Butler."

Disraeli Gears
20.  Disraeli Gears by Cream
