You can't have 86 greatest heavy rock albums each. You can only have one. My thread, my rules Sort yourselves out now! [/quote] In that case. UFO - Strangers In The Night.

SteveK Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) Can't decide on my favourite, but I'll nominate Trapeze - 'You are the Music... We're just the Band'. Featuring, of course, the wonderful vocal and bass talents of Glenn Hughes. IMO Deserved of far more recognition than it receives/received (as the lack of mention in this thread would testify).

dougieb Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Within the context of its time its got to be Deep Purple 'In Rock'. A heavy rock blitz from start to finish IMHO, also the debut Montrose LP is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Yup, In Rock for me, but only because a lot of the early Led Zep was very blues infused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliasMooseblaster Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I know they don't normally get lumped in with the Heavy Rock crowd...and I know I'm not really helping us narrow it down here, but does [b]The Who, Live at Leeds [/b]count? If not, I think it's a toss-up between one of the Deep Purple MkII albums, or one of the first three Sabbath albums. (I also tip my hat to the Hawkwind fans who've piped up. Anything up to and including [i]Warriors at the Edge of Time[/i] is a fine choice in my book!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spongebob Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 On the Van Halen tip - got to be 'Women And Children First' for me, their best IMHO. 'Fair Warning' a close second. First two albums are stone-cold classics as well, but I think 'W&CF' just clinches it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prunesquallor Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 One album? OK - Nevermind by Nirvana Don't tell me it's not HM. There's enough Sabbath influences in there. And how come no-one's mentioned The Color and the Shape by the Foos. Again, HM, 90s stylee. <sits back and waits for the flames > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Budgie , and pink fairies . Van halen? Great but more metal than rock? (Evh is a clue). I was told years ago , heavy rock = " all music" . My fave priest album is killing machine , which is metal. Sad wings is rock looks like black sabbath vol4 is winning this thread so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman Sam Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Deep Purple in Rock. The first live band I ever saw at the age of 14 and they blew me away. Just listened to it at work tonight and I still love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvellous stuff! [/quote] Rainbow Rising is one of the few albums from this genre/time that I still regularly listen to - absolutely superb album. With regard to the rest of the thread - I'm generally a big fan of live albums & find a lot of them (Judas Priests "Unleashed in the East" & Kiss "Alive 2" being two examples) far superior to any studio albums released by the artists. The one album I've never been able to get into though, despite loving their studio albums, is Deep Purples "Made in Japan".

Roland Rock Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) As much as I love Machinehead, I think it has its ups and downs. If we're talking rock albums which are consistently solid gold from start to finish, for me there are two main contenders, but I don't really see Appetite for Destruction as 'heavy rock', so the winner has to be Zeppelin II Edited December 14, 2013 by Roland Rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
