Best selling albums of all time


Here's an AI list of the top selling albums of all time:

1) Michael Jackson – Thriller
2) Eagles – Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975)
3) AC/DC – Back in Black
4) Pink Floyd – The Dark Side of the Moon
5) Whitney Houston / Various Artists – The Bodyguard (Soundtrack)
6) Bee Gees – Saturday Night Fever
7) Fleetwood Mac – Rumours
8) Led Zeppelin – Led Zeppelin IV
9) Michael Jackson – Bad
10) The Beatles – Abbey Road

I'm just wondering which of these are owned and enjoyed by audiophiles and which would probably never be played on their systems?

I hope I'm not sounding like a music snob. Personally, I would play AC/DC, Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and maybe Thriller.

My favorite of the list is probably Rumours. My wife and I saw them live at Alpine Valley WI right after it came out. It was a great show. I think I have played it once in the last year. Nice recording.

I have nearly every Beatle record ever recorded. Last one I listened to was probably Rubber Soul, maybe my favorite of theirs. Well recorded. 

Have quite a few Eagles records, probably last played was Desperado. Also have Don Henley, also well recorded. Lots of Joe Walsh stuff, James Gang and later. Mostly very well recorded. 

DSOTM is well recorded and I have many copies but probably my favorite Pink Floyd is Wish You Were Here. Island recordings were the best. I believe Alan Parsons was the recording engineer on DSOTM. I have listened to them some in the last year but not much. 

Led Zep, I'm sure I have everything they ever did. Mostly well recorded. Last time I played one, can't remember. 

I think I have a couple Michael Jackson records in my collection but they have not made it down to my listening area in years. They were well recorded. 

Can't remember the last time I listened to AC/DC. They are fine, just haven't heard them in awhile. 

Don't think I ever had Whitney Houston. Nothing wrong with her, just never bought any of her records.
