These eight albums (ranked from the most sold to least sold of the eight best-sellers ever) represent the highest selling albums ever.
Which of these mega-classics is your favorite?
Sincerely, Noah Eaton

I haven't heard the entirety of any of these, but if I had to pick one, it would either be The Eagles or Pink Floyd.

Is it true "The Wall" was in the Top 200 albums for two years?

The Wall, Billy Joel, and the White Album are double albums, and are counted twice for every album sold. Unfair I say, but thats life.
The Eagles CD is the best of this bunch.

I picked the White Album, but it's very close.
