Greatest Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Albums Which Were Released in the 60s-70s

The Top Ten

1 Deep Purple in Rock - Deep Purple

Every song on this album is a killer example of early hard rock and heavy metal. This is my favorite Deep Purple album.

Basically, the birth of heavy metal and "hardening" of hard rock (1970)

2 Rising - Rainbow

3 Sad Wings of Destiny

A great album.

4 Queen II - Queen

5 Van Halen - Van Halen

6 Paranoid - Black Sabbath

7 Machine Head - Deep Purple

A masterpiece

8 Destroyer - Kiss

9 Master of Reality - Black Sabbath

10 A Night at the Opera - Queen

The Contenders

11 Overkill - Motorhead

12 Toys in the Attic - Aerosmith

13 Led Zeppelin IV (Aka Zoso) - Led Zeppelin

14 Strangers in the Night - Ufo

15 Fly by Night - Rush

16 Hair of the Dog - Nazareth

Glad to see Nazareth on here, they are usually underrated

17 Who's Next - The Who

18 Love Gun - Kiss

19 Montrose - Montrose

20 Look at Yourself - Uriah Heep

21 Sabbath Bloody Sabbath - Black Sabbath

22 Live and Dangerous - Thin Lizzy

23 Carolina County Ball - Elf

24 Alive! - Kiss

25 Led Zeppelin I - Led Zeppelin

This album is very overrated - most of the songs on it were rip offs and after lawsuits many songs were credited back to their original authors.
