1976 Rocks Hard!

Quote :

Sabbath didn't release an album in '76.

Technical Ecstasy came out in 1976.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_Ecstasy

From the list i chose Priest.

But my real choice would've been Sabbath.

If I remember right Technical Extacy (sp?) came out in '77.
But anyway--the "heaviest, hardest rocking" album to me was 'Dirty Deeds...'. IMO. But the one that probably had the greatest influence may be 'sad wings' aor 'rising' (I don't think Rainbow quite gets the credit they deserve for their influence on what became 'power metal'.

Yea I agree Rainbow's 'Rising' album bascially created the template for 'power metal'

I thought Technical Ecstasy was released in '77. Most sights say Oct. '76 though, so I was wrong.

I went with Sad Wings ...... that was a stinkin heavy disc.....

However Ult forgot

2112 !!!!!!!







That would've been my vote.... but it didn't make Ult's list..... musta been too wimpy.....


No hard feelings.........................................

I know it's a conspiracy!!

Technical Ecstasy Released 25 September 1976
Recorded June 1976, Criteria Studios, Miami, Florida and Sounds Interchange, Toronto, Canada

I would have picked 2112 first, I didn't think of it either.

Every album on this list is great. But I went with Aerosmith.

I concur but would of chose Sabbath over the Priest lp I voted for.

HIGH....VOLTAGE....ROCK...N....ROLL!!!!!!!!!!

AC/DC - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap

Rocks is the heaviest album on that list for sure!!!

Another album I would have added that is a personal favorite of mine is Alice Cooper's 1976 release 'Alice Cooper Goes to Hell'

A good one!

Ah, Goes To Hell is a great shout. The main riff of the title track alone is worth the entire album!

the late 70s were quite excellent for metal!

Judas
Rainbow
Thin Lizzy
...
All the rest

Mods. Change my vote to JP I clicked the wrong one, I accidentally clicked the Kiss Destroyer. Duh.

The Scorps, of course - none of the others were nearly as heavy.

Aerosmith - Rocks

For most of my life I would have picked AC/DC or especially KISS's Rock n Roll Over, but chose

Led Zeppelin - Presence

the last 2 years, they are the one band I grew up with, I keep returning more often to listening to the albums, and wanting to hear every live version.

I think the guitar has a ripping sound on PRESENCE, and the song Achilles Last Stand still moves me a lot.

But if RUSH - 2112 was listed, a 50/50 chance I would have chose that one.

(Aerosmith gets honourable mention )
