    Led Zeppelin II-Led Zeppelin



    Riff rock had been what Jimmy Page's former band, the Yardbirds, were all about and on Led Zeppelin's second album, released, like its predecessor, in 1969, the inventive guitarist demonstrated that he'd indeed learned his lessons well. Witness "Whole Lotta Love", a woozy epic based on one simple, head-banging-friendly guitar riff. Or the mock-dramatic "Heartbreaker", propelled by far more intricate but similarly effective note squashing. Between Page's sonic wizardry, John Bonham beating his drums into submission ("Moby Dick"), and the juice running down Robert Plant's leg ("The Lemon Song"), Led Zeppelin here just about succeeded in raising rock & roll excess to an art form.

    UNLEASHED IN THE EAST-JUDAS PRIEST



    Judas Priest, the metal gods, released this live album, recorded in Tokyo, in 1979, the year before they released their hugely successful, and hugely influencial, 'British Steel' album. It captures the band at the end of the first part of their career. And, from the opening fury of 'Exciter', through the progressiveness of 'Sinner' and the magnigicent 'Victim of Changes', you knoe that this band wiould stay for a long time, and indeed they did. However, like Thin Lizzy's 'Live and Dangerous', many people critisise 'Unleashed In The East', calling it 'Unleashed In The Studio', due to the fact that it was 'fixed up' in the studio before it's release. But, when the outcome is THIS good, do you really care?

    HIGHWAY TO HELL-AC/DC



    What Highway to Hell has that Back in Black doesn't is Bon Scott, AC/DC's original lead singer who died just months after this album was released. Scott had a rusty, raspy, scream of a voice, like he might break into a coughing fit at any moment. In other words, on crunchy, hook-heavy metal classics like the title track and on "Get It Hot" which is more roadhouse rock than metal, he had the perfect instrument for such wild-living anthems. Too perfect, it turned out.

    RAINBOW RISING-RAINBOW


    [IMG]www.gotterdammerung.org/music/reviews/rainbow/rainbow.rising.jpg[/IMG]


    the best album that Rainbow had done, much better and harder than its predecessor. With a new keyboard player, bassist and an exceptional drummer in the late, great Cozy Powell, Blackmore and Dio unleashed six impressive tracks, the highlights of which are 'Stargazer' which begins with a powerful Powell flourish and ascends into orchestral levels of music, and 'Light In The Black' which goes along at breakneck speed, battering the senses with its guitar and keyboard solos. The other tracks are just as good - 'Tarot Woman' starts it all off with a keyboard intro before Ritchie slams in his riff, 'Run With The Wolf' and 'Starstruck' are solid and 'Do You Close Your Eyes' is nothing short of being a headbanging rocker of a piece.

    DARK SIDE OF THE MOON-PINK FLOYD

    [IMG]www.w-fenec.org/photos/2003/rock/pink_floyd_darkside.jpg[/IMG]

    One of the most famous albums of all time, Dark Side Of The Moon sold 25 million copies in its first 25 years of release. It continues to be a favourite, with 20 per cent of those sales occurring in the period since it first came out on CD, a medium to which it is ideally suited, especially in its current carefully remastered form. Dark Side Of The Moon was the first album that Pink Floyd decided to break in live before attempting to record, with the debut performance of what they then called Eclipse just over a year before the final release date. When they finally retired to Abbey Road with top sound engineer Alan Parsons, state-of-the-art 16-track recording equipment and the new Dolby technology to hand, it was to produce one of the great pieces of studio art. Covering a range of styles, this was the last album (prior to Roger Waters' departure in the early 1980s) to whose writing the other members of Pink Floyd contributed significantly. Nevertheless, it remains a stunningly coherent package, bound together by surreal fragments of speech (mostly gleaned from asking questions of the doorman at the studio) and Waters' bold and bleak lyrics. Often reputed to be about former member Syd Barrett's decline into schizophrenia, in fact Waters has said the lyrics "were a lot about ordinariness" and dealt with people's responses to the increasing insanity of the pressures of everyday life. Some of the extraordinary sound effects used came from the most unlikely sources--the coins at the start of "Money" from Waters tossing handfuls of change into an industrial food-mixer that his wife, a potter, used to mix clay. Whatever the medium, a new standard for attention to detail and production values had been set and the world of studio recording would never be the same again

    NUMBER OF THE BEAST-IRON MAIDEN

    [IMG]www.rockdetector.com/assets/img/covers/20761.jpg[/IMG]

    Times might have changed, now--with the advent of new-metal acts like Korn--but throughout the 1980s, a damning generalisation held true: English heavy metal rocked, while the American variant--with a few notable exceptions--sucked. The difference went beyond aesthetics--the Yanks' avowed penchant for big hair and eyeliner--though that was certainly part of it: British metal was essentially working man's food, loosely descended from biker-meets and Northern pubs; whereas, in the States, it was an outgrowth of stadium-rock, which traditionally subordinated substance to spectacle. Plug-ugly, cartoonishly morbid, Iron Maiden were typical of the local effort: emphasising a driving, no-nonsense approach to the music. And it worked: among metal aficionados, this album ranks as one of the defining moments of the entire genre. Of the eight songs here--including Maiden classics like "Run To The Hills" and the title track--only "Gangland" falls flat, though it's immediately overshadowed by "Hallowed Be Thy Name," acknowledged by many as this band's apotheosis.

    VAN HALEN-VAN HALEN



    If punk drove virtuosity from rock, Van Halen, with the flashy expertise of their debut LP, and as the stage-stealing support on Black Sabbath's Never Say Die tour, singlehandedly revived it. At least half of the songs on Van Halen's eponymous 1978 debut are still considered classics, and the Eddie Van Halen instrumental "Eruption" revolutionised the guitar community by introducing a technique called finger-tapping into the heavy metal lexicon. A magnificent debut for sure, but maybe the band should have held onto a few of their blockbuster tunes to bolster the lean years that started after 1984, and continue to the present day. Regardless, Van Halen amply demonstrate their drive, showmanship, and musicianship throughout, blowing the needle off the scale on such tracks as "You Really Got Me", "Jamie's Cryin'", "Runnin' with the Devil", and "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love".

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    DLR 7884...I dunno how many people voted, it wasn't all that many, I'd say about 10, maybe 12, a lot of whom don't even post anymore, however, it was enough to get a good enough list..

    ARE YOU EXPERIENCED?-JIMI HENDRIX

    With a debut album of this caliber, it blew to pieces the first workings of the other great guitarists of the time. This album infact is so good, that its songs such as Foxy Lady, Purple Haze, Hey Joe, Fire, Red House, Are You Experienced and The Wind Crys Mary are some of the most commonly assosiated to Jimi Hendrix, despite his fairly large catalogue of guitar-excellence. As emblematic of its time as of its sorcerer-like creator, 1967's Are You Experienced? unleashed Jimi Hendrix onto a world in the midst of such cultural and musical shake-ups that it really didn't seem as "far out" as it actually was. It wasn't just Hendrix's virtuosic skill as a pure player that was so impressive; it was, even more, the range and scope of sheer sound that he coaxed, cajoled and ripped out of his instrument. "Purple Haze", "Manic Depression" and "I Don't Live Today" filled ears with indelible sonic images and songs like "Foxey Lady" and "Fire" pointed the way toward a new brand of rock-charged soul music. And how about a hand for drummer Mitch Mitchell?

    RUSH-MOVING PICTURES


    This was unexpected. Yet, it does make sense, because with Moving Pictures, Rush's complex songwriting and musical virtuosity reached new heights. It's that rarest of creatures, a highly listenable progressive-rock album; even the all-instrumental "YYZ" is of interest to listeners besides musicians. The highlight of the album is "Limelight"; like many progressive-rock bands, Rush writes songs about the experience of being on-stage. The result is impressive, with almost orchestral arrangements that never overwhelm the actual music. "Tom Sawyer", another classic, is on this album, as well as the science-fiction-meets-road-movie "Red Barchetta", the epic "The Camera Eye", the cautionary "Witch Hunt", and "Vital Signs", which takes advantage of the budding digital sound technology available at the time the album was recorded. This is probably Rush's best album; it's definitely their most accessible.

    APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION-GUNS 'N' ROSES


    This is a glimpse of the future--and not because of its huge influence and umpteen million sales. The poor-little-rich-boy protest "Out ta Get Me" intimates that Axl Rose's egotism and martyr complex were soon to grow bigger than his head; still, Appetite's night-train wreck of punk and metal sounds and sensibilities make it more than just an emblem of its time. Whether GN'R are dancing with "Mr. Brownstone", penning a callow kiss-off letter to some chick named "Michelle", or passing out on somebody else's sofa, this was and remains a savage journey to the heart of the American--or at least the Hollywood--dream

    Well done, Shaun.

    It`s a fair list.

    You deserve your 5 CDs.

    You`ll need something to take up all that spare time you`ve got.

    Its OK. Probably for the best anyway, the more people who vote, the more time it takes to add up the results. You probably did me a favour.

    Appetite is a good album, not deserving of the #1 ranking though.
    For an album to be worthy of #1 it should be an album that you can play over and over again and never get bored of it. Granted the list is pretty good. Personally speaking Van Halen 1 should have been #1.

    Only one classic VH made the top ten (not higher than number 4!!??) and Rush (???) number 2: I can't believe that poll could take place within this board.:confused:
