For Led Zepp, start with either their debut album or the unnamed album (I call it Led Zeppelin IV). One is the quintessential blues rock album for them, and the other is the quintessential "Stairway to Heaven" of course.

For The Beatles, it depends on if you're more into their early, simple love pop stuff or their later, more expansive material that includes songs that are actually about things other than girls. You know, submarines and walruses and Jude and norwegian woods and strawberry fields and such. I much prefer their later material, and the best place to start with that is of course Sgt. Pepper, since it's kinda the huge album for them in that time...but also essential are Revolver and Abbey Road. The White Album and Rubber Soul as well but to a lesser extent.

For Rush, start with Moving Pictures. Simple as that. If you like it, try any of their other stuff in pretty much any order, because it's hard to really pick anything other than Moving Pictures as a starting point.

well it's a good start nonetheless, except for him only having Show of Hands for Rush

Thick as a Brick also isn't a good starting point for Jethro Tull because the whole album is one song and you might not like it much if you haven't already enjoyed Aqualung

also wtf at not having Paranoid for Black Sabbath and also i don't really think AC/DC sucks but they're not all that great, just so-so

he might have those in another rack, i just didn't want to take too many CDs out at a time and then forget where they went

oh, not to mention since he grew up when all these bands were coming about, he has the vinyls for them and he listens to them on a record player :)
so he probably has all the good stuff on records

If you listen to Who Made Who, you're going to think AC/DC sucks. Go with their 70's albums, I'd start with Highway To Hell. Anyone who seriously thinks early AC/DC sucks is either an asswipe or a dull person.

I hope when you say their 70s albums you're making an exception for 1980's Back in Black, considering that it's pretty much just as good as Highway to Hell.

Oh yeah, Back in Black is good, I forgot to mention that. But everything after it was really mediocre.
