Top 100 Rock Music Albums
Adapted from 100 Greatest Albums of Rock 'N Roll: The VH1 List (January 2001).
This list is intended to provide information about the availability of titles in CD format at the ASU-West Library. However, when West does not own a title but the Music Library (Tempe campus) does, that is noted.
Hyperlinks are provided to sound recordings only - not sheet music. This list also links to the musical group or performer whenever possible.
Overall, the West Library has 39 of the titles from the VH1 list and recordings by 95 of the artists; the Music Library has 16 additional titles. Music Library titles are in LP (record) format - not CD.
