Greatest Proto Metal Albums

The Top Ten

1 Vincebus Eruptum - Blue Cheer

This is very far from metal, proto or not. Not every heavy sound is heavy metal sound.

2 Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin

Led Zeppelin have never been related to metal. They are blues inspired whereas metal is classically inspired.

3 Led Zeppelin II - Led Zeppelin

Not metal-related.

4 Are You Experienced - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Not metal-related.

5 In the Court of the Crimson King - King Crimson

6 Grand Funk - Grand Funk Railroad

7 Electric Ladyland - Jimi Hendrix

I agree with the visitor comment - the main problem is that people don't know what metal is.

8 Outsideinside - Blue Cheer

9 Sea Shanties - High Tide

10 Shades of Deep Purple - Deep Purple

The Contenders

11 Gun - Gun

12 Ummagumma - Pink Floyd
