Domandona: quale è il miglior album rock che sia mai stato inciso?
Ovviamente ogni singolo parere sarà dovuto a determinati gusti, conoscenze o competenze musicali; ciò nonostante tanti pareri messi a confronto riescono a fornire un quadro preciso sul valore di quelli che ad oggi sono considerati i grandi capolavori di questi 65 anni di musica rock.

Noi di Accordi e Spartiti abbiamo lanciato il sondaggio nel 2009 proponendone alcuni che ritenevamo essere immancabili in una classifica del genere, lasciando comunque carta bianca a tutti i lettori che potevano a loro volta proporre i loro titoli preferiti.
Una volta raggiunti i 10.000 voti abbiamo chiuso il sondaggio e stilato la classifica definitiva, come segue:
