Radiohead, The Beatles and Pink Floyd are arguably the 3 best acts ever (I said arguably, clearly there are many others in the conversation).

So I might save those albums until the latter half of your listening.

Maybe start with The Eagles and 2Pac albums.

Some people like Linkin Park, but if you don’t like the first album you listen to, I wouldn’t even bother with the next, it will sound pretty much the same.

Don’t ask me, I can’t stand them. But…Hybrid Theory is the one people talk about the most.

I didn’t look at your list too closely at first, but I just came back to this and would offer a couple of suggestions if that’s okay.

Regarding Pink Floyd: If you are going to listen to three Pink Floyd albums, choose Dark Side of the Moon, Wish you Were Here, and Animals. Probably in that order. If you don’t like Dark Side…I guess don’t bother with the others. But that album is probably the single greatest of all time when considering both quality AND accessibility. So you will probably like it.

Great suggestions, But unfortunately I listened to all of them and pink Floyd is my fav band, if you could suggest rock albums but calm with great music and not metal it'll be great, I like a good voice and great music

I think my list is pretty solid, but I pulled it from another post I made with a different purpose. Also, it’s my list so it’s biased towards my preferences. For a more global resource, try the ranked list below. This is the best list of top albums I’ve seen, and it spans a lot of genres.

Hybrid Theory is their most successful work and in my opinion their best but Minutes to Midnight is a good starting point if you haven’t listened to them before because it’s a pretty good mixture of all the different sounds they explored during their career and is poppy and easily accessible.

Make sure you listen to 'Close to the Edge' by Yes. It's considered by a lot of people to be one of the greatest progressive rock songs ever written or maybe that's just me :).

Listen to them in the order they were released for appropriate time/space acc7racy.

Personally, I’d start with Parachutes and end with Abbey Road

Skip Everything but Pink Floyd and Radiohead. The rest is pop. Jk Nirvana is decent.

I actually don't mind if it's good music

Its a start. Its all good just a very non-specific list there. After RHCP listen to Mr.Bungle. After The Eagles listen to Joe Walsh. After Coldplay listen to more Radiohead. After Linkin Park listen to Nine Inch Nails. I think you catch my drift. Also I would say you should have the album Ten by Pearl Jam if you are just going with big albums.

Reason I say that I just think a lot of the popular bands people know are just a watered down version of something else in order for marketability.

I actually new to music but i really love pink Floyd and Radiohead and queen so i just search for bands and albums like 'em

BrimEll t1_ja4pnjl wrote

I like that too more than the rest of the list. If you haven't

Queen - A Night At The Opera

Radiohead - 15 Step, Ok Computer, Kid A, Amnesiac

Pink Floyd Dark Side of The Moon, The Wall, Meddle, Animals (actually my favorite) , Wish You Were Here. Those are my favs.

Also based on those three artists check out the albums "Selling England By The Pound" "Foxtrot" and "The Lb Dies Down on Broadway" by Genesis

Also the album "Leftoverture" by Kansas.

You should like Nine Inch Nails albums "Year Zero" and especially "The Fragile" based on what you posted. The other NiN may be too dark since you dont have much dark stuff but you do have Linkin Park so I mention NiN. Linkin Park and Pink Floyd were starting points for me. I quickly never listened to Linkin Park again though, just not as interesting to me anymore. I still think those Floyd Albums are some of the best ever made.

Sorry I don't mean to seem like I am talking down on some other stuff. I joke around and call everything pop at least once

It is hard not too. It is full of hits. To me it is the definitive sound of the 90s and grunge
