Time for polls for the early days of metal and hard rock, although I stuck a few classic non-metal albums in there as I don't know many albums from 1970. Vote your favorite, and feel free to list your favorite/s if not in the poll. ------------- If I say fuck two more times that's forty-six fucks in this fucked up rhyme |

Paranoid for me.
Black Sabbath, Gentle Giant, and Led Zeppelin III (which is possibly my favorite LZ album) are great albums too. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

I actually really love all these albums except i still haven't heard the Wishbone Ash. I agree Jonas, Led Zep 3 is my fave as well but i'm voting for the very first Black Sabbath album. That one made more of an impact on me and this is a metal site after all. On PA i'd vote for Gentle Giant. -------------

Love both the Sabbath albums, and also love Deep Purple, Gentle Giant, and Led Zeppelin. The Tull and UFO albums are pretty good too. Was thinking of going with one of the Sabbath albums, but decided to go with Deep Purple.

| Some great albums here. Free, JT, Miles, Santana, GG, Soft Machine 3, Wishbone Ash, LZ and two great Sabbath albums, AR and a great Kinks album. Voted In Rock. What a year. Was four at the time so all I remember from that time was Rolf Harris' Two Little Boys. Enough of that though!. |

I love the first two Black Sabbath albums but Deep Purple In Rock remains a desert island favourite of mine. A year or so ago, I got UFO's debut and it's pretty good. 1970 was a great year for heavy rock. I think Grand Funk Railroad's best album was from this year and Sir Lord Baltimore's debut was 1970, wasn't it? Bloodrock, Lucifer's Friend, Warpig, and lots of others. I always place 69/70 as the real birth of heavy metal because that's when many bands actually released whole albums of high energy, loud guitar rock and didn't just have a couple of heavy songs on an album, excepting Blue Cheer's debut of course. ------------- A story told that can't be real somehow must reflect the truth we feel. |

My 70's knowledge is rather thin. I only know the two Sabbath albums here. It's tough to pick between them to be honest. Objectively I think I'd have to go for Paranoid yet I always personally think of the debut more fondly. ------------- Earn Money Online (NOT a scam): https://premium.gg2u.org?referrer=adg211288" rel="nofollow - GG2U https://adamsfilmcorner.quora.com/" rel="nofollow - Adam's Film Corner on Quora |

Zep then the 2 Sabbath albums followed by Tull and Purple. Not on the list... Free - Fire and Water - admittedly borderline hard rock. The Who - Live at Leeds captures them at their heaviest and one of the greatest live albums ever.

Knowing how much you love bands like Purson, Blood Ceremony, etc., it might be worthwhile to listen to some more 70's metal/hard rock albums. I'd say Deep Purple and Jethro Tull would probably be the best places to start. ------------- If I say fuck two more times that's forty-six fucks in this fucked up rhyme |

My Dad has some albums from both, but I'll probably check them out more sometime. ------------- Earn Money Online (NOT a scam): https://premium.gg2u.org?referrer=adg211288" rel="nofollow - GG2U https://adamsfilmcorner.quora.com/" rel="nofollow - Adam's Film Corner on Quora |
