Essential Metal Albums Prior To The 1990's: Part I*** |

07.06.11 | Guns N Roses? LOL |

07.06.11 | The rest of the list is awesome though. |

07.06.11 | I always have an issue with the term metal being applied to Led Zeppelin, I know they are but the genre has changed so much that it's hard to hear the word and associate it with them. |
BigHans
07.06.11 | sick list dude |
Psychopathologist
07.06.11 | pointless list |
Darkvoid67
07.06.11 | I struggle to call Led Zep metal. Sure, they were heavier than anything before them but thats not really saying much. More like the very beginnings of hard rock. And ButcheredChildren, the list is chronological, so it was bound to end sometime before 1990 |
BallsToTheWall
07.06.11 | King Diamond, S.O.D, Accept, Manowar, Bathory, Candlemass and Running Wild? Yes sir, I will bash haters like last commenter with my hammer. |
Acanthus
07.06.11 | Personally I always think of them as rock, plain and simple. |
TAB
07.06.11 | ew scorpions |
Tyrael
07.06.11 | There are a few really afwul albums on here, mainly 77 |

07.06.11 | "I always have an issue with the term metal being applied to Led Zeppelin, I know they are but the genre has changed so much that it's hard to hear the word and associate it with them."
That's because they aren't metal at all and most people under the age of 50 should know this. |
Acanthus
07.06.11 | There's a huge group that considers them so, it's always baffled me. |
HenchmanOfSanta
07.06.11 | There's a huge group whose entire metal library is the bands on this list. Generally they overlap. |
Acanthus
07.06.11 | I never really got into classic metal (90's and before) so most of this list is stuff I might have heard but couldn't get into/don't want to listen to. Led Zepellin was one of the biggest musical let-downs I've ever had, I expected a lot more than they gave. |
TheNotrap
07.06.11 | Immigrant Song or Black Dog isn't Metal?...Ok...Probably Rhythm and blues or Jazz...
@Psychopathologist....pointless comment |
HenchmanOfSanta
07.06.11 | They're hard rock, dude. It's not a difficult concept. Then again, you have Bon Jovi on a list of essential metal albums so maybe that term means nothing to you. |
HenchmanOfSanta
07.06.11 | Like Immigrant Song I can understand as it had the basic foundation of a lot of heavy metal, but Black Dog is straight up heavy blues. |
Acanthus
07.06.11 | One song doesn't denote a genre, otherwise Primus would be such an eclectic mix that nothing could categorise them other than the moniker "all" |
IrishJay91
07.06.11 | the final countdown? well, whatever.
I think 'essential' is an exaggeration for quite a few of these, but its a solid list overall. |
JamieTwort
07.07.11 | Nice list, great to see 55 on here. |
Pharoh
07.07.11 | Acdc is NOT metal |
TheNotrap
07.07.11 | Yep AC/DC is Hard Rock, like Zeppelin, Purple, Rainbow or even Van Halen, but in my opinion these bands belong here. |
HenchmanOfSanta
07.07.11 | But this is supposedly a list of essential metal albums...and you were just arguing that those bands were metal. |
Phil
07.07.11 | There aren't much variety. Add bands like Blue Oyster Cult, whose manager/producer/some other stuff, Sandy Pearlman coined 'heavy metal'. |
flalafell
07.07.11 | this brought the lulz |
Idnuf
07.07.11 | Yeah well this guy's obviously an idiot |
TheNotrap
07.07.11 | @HenchmanOfSanta Like I said I believe these bands belong here.
Hard Rock..Metal...Hard n ' Heavy.......It's very hard to label bands like Purple, Zeppelin, Scorpions, White Lion, AC/DC....Scorpions is Metal or Hard Rock? Megadeth is Speed or Thrash? Cinderella is Glam, Hard Rock or Metal?...Bon Jovi is Hard Rock or just Rock?...Sometimes It's very hard to label a band. |
AngelofDeath
07.07.11 | Yeah, Pyromania is obviously essential. |
clercqie
07.07.11 | Where's Mรถtorhead? |
rockandmetaljunkie
07.09.11 | King Diamond, S.O.D, Manowar, Bathory, Candlemass and Running Wild? 2
Motorhead, Budgie, Blue Cheer, Pentagram, Aerosmith, Anvil, Angel Witch, also deserve a spot here.
AND WHERE THE FUCK IS DIAMOND HEAD?? |
TheNotrap
07.10.11 | Yep I suppose those bands (except Budgie, Blue Cheer and Pentagram) deserved to be here.
Motorhead - Ace Of Spades
Anvil - Metal on Metal
Angel With - Only the debut album
Diamond Head - Lightning to the Nations (the others are too average)
Aerosmith - Toys in the Attic and Rocks
My fault.... |
