Only six.
Just shows how many albums are produced with mass-appeal in mind rather than true quality. It's not called pop(ular) music for nothing..
Pink Floyd The Dark Side of the Moon
Meat Loaf Bat out of Hell
Fleetwood Mac Rumours
Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin IV
Pink Floyd The Wall
Simon & Garfunkel Bridge over Troubled Water |
