Best 5 engineered rock albums?

I don't think I can stretch to 10 without repetition of many previous excellent suggestions so here are a few not previously mentioned.

Crowded House : Woodface
Robert Cray : I was warned
Dire Straits : Communique
Rickie Lee Jones : Rickie Lee Jones
Queen : News of the World (not all tracks, but side B is excellent)
Lenny Kravitz : Are you going to go my way

This last one may not be to all tastes, but I like the raw qualities ... the amp hum, the hiss of the wah-wah peddle, and the mike thump of the vocals ... kind of like a gig. Strangely the title track is an exception ... very poorly engineered.

pcanis .... dismissing the SUBJECTIVE opinion of others serves no purpose. Music (and equipment) is either to your liking or not to your liking. Let's try to keep all postings positive. For example I have never liked Genesis, Pink Floyd, or the Beatles but I recognize that they are one of the great, and ground-breaking bands. I fully recognize that Lenny Kravitz is not in the same league as the perviously mentioned bands, but I still prefer his albums.

Pcanis .... sorry myself to have got you wrong. Hopefully no offense caused.

Anyway your thought that Lenny Kravitz was merely copying older 70s music is quite close to the mark. He is ! However I still think this album has some enjoyable tunes and a very immediate sound, particularly the track "Sister".

I also liked the Patmatt post ... Badfinger .... what a great band that noone under 30 has heard of !
