    For Hard Rock:
    Deep Purple-Burn
    Black Sabbath-s/t
    Queen-Sheer Heart Attack
    kiss-s/t
    Alice Cooper-Killer
    Heep-Demons and Wizards
    Van Halen-s/t
    Scorpions-Lovedrive
    AC/DC-Highway to Hell
    Thin Lizzy-Jailbreak
    I'd probably add Made in Japan, because this to me represents Hard rock at its peak.
    Cheers.

    AWESOME PETE!! i agree with these classic & iconic picks, certainly must have for all newbies! shit,there's 50 more that could be picked along with these-lolol. i agree and am glad you touched on it and find it funny how over time how some albums/bands have somewhat changed from what we thought or knew them to be back in the day to what some have come to be to us as we've aged ,but, also the fact that music has changed as well since those days of our youth, a lot of these were certainly considered heavy metal in every way when we were young, but as music has progressed ,or however one looks at it, over the years with the birth of all the much harder & heavier death, doom, thrash metal etc. some have seemed to have matured or aged more into the hard rock than metal. when i was younger back then, ac/dc was totally heavy, heavy metal and now at my age at 56yo i consider them hard rock, it's all great! and i get it, and to each his own and like you say, there's now right or wrong brother. it's always great to hear your opinions on it Pete and i value them so much my friend as we come from the same era. i just don't dig the music snobs that think there way is the only way and set in stone, i know you get a lot of that. but we get it brother, we dig it! great show Pete!!

    Ozzy - Blizzard of Ozz
    Ghost - Impera (I know this isn't even considered hard rock nor it's from the same time but in my opinon it reflects so much about the music of that era, I find it to be some kind of tribute)

      ​@@resistor27 I was 14 in 1977. That's when Cat Scratch Fever came out. They didnt have that term "Heavy Metal" back then when describing bands. Only Rock and Hard Rock, really. The heaviest stuff was called hard rock. Judas Priest Hellbent for leather was probably the first legit heavy metal album. I know some will say early black sabbath. But I don recall anyone calling them heavy metal. The only reference to heavy metal was in born to be wild. But they werent talking about the music. They were referring to the engine of the motorcycle.

    I really got properly introduced to hard rock in the late 80s when I was like 10/11. That was when my brother came home from college with all of his hair metal CDs, and it was listening to those and other bands he was into like AC/DC and Zeppelin and Van Halen that really propelled me into hard rock and metal. Some of the first albums that I ever bought with my own money in 89/90 included Zeppelin IV, Appetite, the first two Boston albums, Van Halen I, and BOC’s Agents of Fortune, all hard rock classics. And then albums I didn’t buy until years later because I was always borrowing them from my brother instead: High & Dry and Pyromania, Pat Benatar’s Crimes of Passion, Zeppelin II, Moving Pictures, and Who’s Next. Some of his CDs I listened to more than he did!

      Tell me everything you know about Thin Lizzy - Thunder and Lightning!!!
      I recently went back to check out more Thin Lizzy because I only knew the radio hits and this album blew me away!
      It was their last album unfortunately and the reviews seemed mixed? but I love it!
      I think it's underrated and it would of been interesting to see what would of happened with Thin Lizzy if Phil hadn't died.
      Would they have kept going in the almost Thrash Metal style of Thunder and Lightning? would they have kept getting heavier?
      I think Thin Lizzy could of gone in so many directions. Definitely one of the bands that I thought was way underrated/forgotten as I've gone back to listen to their back catalogue that I didn't grow up with.

      @@SuperDenonciateur I don't disagree that their a Metal band. However younger listeners might not think that they are compared to how heavy music is today. Heavy Metal or Hard Rock the band deserves to be recommended to anyone not familiar with their music and that's what I was going for.

    Deep Purple - Machine Head
    Kiss- Destroyer
    Aerosmith - Rocks
    Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak
    AC/DC - Back in Black
    Van Halen - 1984
    Guns N' Roses - Appetite For Destruction
    Skid Row - Skid Row

  • @LeatherRebel75
    @LeatherRebel75 9 місяців тому +5

    That's a great list, and I'm really glad you chose Appetite for Destruction, as that is a huge example of essential 80's hard rock. As far as Def Leppard goes, I would send newbies to Pyromania before High and Dry, for the same reason you chose Machine Head over In Rock for this list. Pyromania is still pretty hard rocking, but it's got more of their iconic songs. I do agree with Pete's choice for Kiss album, but a good follow up recommendation would definitely be Destroyer. Same thing with Led Zeppelin, with Led Zep II being the logical follow up. There are other great hard rock albums I could mention, but I got a feeling that Pete might include them in some of his other lists.

  • @b2tall239
    @b2tall239 9 місяців тому +1

  • @HeavyMetalNerd

    My top 5 would be:
    AC/DC-Back In Black
    Gary Moore-Run For Cover

    Whitesnake-Lovehunter
    Scorpions-Love At First Sting

    • @mori1bund

  • @captainkirk70
    @captainkirk70 9 місяців тому

    1. Kiss-Alive 2 (I put Alive on Metal)
    2. Aerosmith-Rocks
    3. Led Zep-4
    4.QOTSA- Songs For The Deaf
    5. GnR- AFD
    6. Monster Magnet- Powertrip
    7. Def Leppard- Pyromania. (Had High and Dry but it's a little too close to AC/DC and it's more of a pop-hard rock for newbies.)
    8. AC/DC - Highway to Hell
    9. Van Halen- Women and Childen First
    10. Motley Crue- Too Fast For Love.
    I feel like I got a decent combo of old and newer and a bit of variation in styles of "Hard Rock" that could lead a new listener to what they would like about hard rock and pursue further for future recommendations.

    7. Scorpions - Taken by force
    6 Black Sabbath - Vol. IV
    5. Uriah Heep - Magician´s birthday
    4. Deep Purple - Deep Purple in Rock
    3. Aerosmith - Rocks
    2. Deep Purple - Burn
    1. Rainbow - Rainbow Rising

  • @jimmiller3139
    @jimmiller3139 9 місяців тому

    Solid list, I have most of those albums on vinyl, need to track down a copy of Montrose. A couple of suggestions with newbies in mind
    Led Zeppelin II. Definitely. I have every Led Zep studio album and I can't pick a single favorite. If I could only keep one, it would be The Song Remains The Same, but If I had to pick one for someone not already a fan, it would be Led Zeppelin II
    If I wanted to introduce someone to Aerosmith, it would have to be Toys in the Attic. Rocks would be a great follow up album but I think Toys has had more longevity.
    I was a huge Kiss fan in my early teens, I still every album up to Creatures Of the Night including the solos, but the only Kiss album anyone really needs is Alive.
    A few albums not on your list that any newbie would be happy to acquire:
    Boston - Boston
    The Sweet - Desolation Boulevard
    Bad Company - Bad Company
    Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath or Paranoid
    Nazareth - Razamanaz or Hair Of The Dog
    Triumph - Thunder Seven
    The Cult - Sonic Temple or Love
    Def Leppard - Pyromania
    AC/DC - Highway to Hell
    Scorpions - Blackout
    The Tragically Hip - Up to Here

    For me the best way to enjoy music to the max is the experience of a live concert. Then (most) bands and musicians are at their peak.
    Therefore, for newbies and oldbies, I recommend -if available- live albums.
    So Deep Purple’s Made in Japan before (the studio versions of) Machine Head.
    1. Deep Purple Made in Japan
    2. Rainbow On Stage
    3. AC/DC If you want blood you’ve got it
    4. Jimi Hendrix Hendrix in the West
    5. The Rolling Stones Get yer ya-ya’s out
    6. Deep Purple Made In Europe
    7. Uriah Heep Live
    8. Golden Earring Live
    9. Cream Wheels of fire
    10. Iggy and the Stooges Raw Power 50th Anniversary which includes live concert october ‘73
    Thanks again Pete.
    Looking forward to the next metal’s.

    Nice episode. Great to hear Jimi, Aerosmith, Thin Lizzy, and Guns N'Roses get mentioned. Here are a few I would have included:
    Lynyrd Skynyrd's debut album - Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd. Got to have it for Free Bird alone! Get the bonus edition that has the wonderful Mr. Banker and Down South Jukin'
    Alice Cooper - Killer
    AC/DC - Highway to Hell or Back in Black. (Can see an argument for putting them in heavy metal but think they're more hard rock)
    Cinderella - Long Cold Winter. For a less A-list band I'd go for the awesome bluesy rock that Tom Keifer and band created
    Bon Jovi - Slippery When Wet. Think Bon Jovi were the entry drug for my generation who were just too young to have been around for the 70s golden era.
    And for Def Leppard, I'd definitely suggest Pyromania rather than High n Dry. Feel Def Leppard were like Aerosmith in that they really hit their stride with their 3rd and 4th albums

    Great list Pete!
    For my list I would only swap out 2 albums. I'd put High n Dry in for Kiss and I'd put Tesla Mechanical Resonance in for Thin Lizzy.

    Thanks, Pete. I added a couple of missing albums to my collection: Thin Lizzy's Jailbreak and Aerosmith's Rocks.

    Pete's is from an American perspective, in particular Aerosmith,Kiss, Ted Nigent and Montrose, four bands who where virtually unknown outside the US continent when those two albums where released. I wouldn't consider them essential hard rock albums.
    From my UK perspective these are essential!
    Budgie-Never Turn Your Back On A Freind.
    Led Zeppelin - 2
    Uriah Heep-Look At Yourself
    Bad Company-Straight Shooter
    Deep Purple-Machine Head
    Black Sabbath- Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
    UFO-Lights Out
    Scorpions-Lovedrive
    Thin Lizzy- Jailbreak
    Free-Tons & Sobs

    Where would you put Boston's debut? I was expecting it here. Maybe not a starter album? Or maybe not that hard rock?

    For me it's easy, if I need to recommend (70's) Hard-Rock to Newbie's, I just point them out to the the legendary Live albums from that time. In my opinion there's no better way to taste Hard-Rock on vinyl or CD. Just make a random pick of 10 album out of this list, and you're good for a real treat of essential hard-rock listening!
    MC5 - Kick Out the Jams (1969)
    Iron Butterfly - Live (1970)
    Steppenwolf - Steppenwolf Live (1970)
    The Who - Live at Leeds (1970)
    Grand Funk Railroad - Live Album (1970)
    Jimi Hendrix - Band Of Gypsys (1970)
    Humble Pie - Performance: Rockin' the Fillmore (1971)
    Deep Purple - Made in Japan (1972)
    Uriah Heep - Live (1973)
    Wishbone Ash - Live Dates (1973)
    KISS - Alive! (1975) (or Alive II)
    Blue Öyster Cult - On Your Feet or on Your Knees (1975)
    Led Zeppelin - The Song Remains the Same (1976)
    Lynyrd Skynyrd - One More From The Road (1976)
    Rush - All The World’s A Stage (1976)
    Foghat - Live (1977)

    REO Speedwagon - Live: You Get What You Play For (1977)
    Alice Cooper - The Alice Cooper Show (1977)
    Aerosmith - Live! Bootleg (1978)
    AC/DC - If You Want Blood, You've Got It (1978)
    Ted Nugent - Double Live Gonzo! (1978)
    Scorpions - Tokyo Tapes (1978)
    Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous (1978)
    Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush - Live (1978)
    Cheap Trick - Cheap Trick At Budokan (1979)

    Queen - Live Killers (1979)
    UFO - Strangers in the Night (1979)
    Whitesnake - Live.... in the Heart of the City (1980)
    Journey - Captured (1981)
    The Michael Schenker Group - One Night at Budokan (1982)
    Blackfoot - Highway Song Live (1982)
    Boston - Out In The Street (Live 1977) (2022)
    *Judas Priest - Unleased in the East (1979)
    *This album is an exception for me. It's the best illustration of the difference between hard rock/proto-metal and pure Heavy Metal as we understand it now. (Just compare the studio versions with these ones).

    I just started watching your vids, and I have to say you have some the best lists I've seen. VH is definitely hard rock, not metal. Heck I personally think AC/DC is more hard rock than metal. Great job, keep up the good work.

    Aerosmith - Rocks # 1
    Scorpions- Animal Magnetism
    Van Halen - II
    Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak
    AC/DC - Let There Be Rock
    Def Leppard - High N Dry
    KISS - Alive
    Queen - Shear Heart Attack
    Ted Nugent -Ted Nugent
    Led Zep -II
    These are in no particular order, BUT AEROSMITH ROCKS has to be named that ( & #1 ) because it ROCKS
    I’m pretty sure all these are between 1970-80

  • @mikel9248
    @mikel9248 9 місяців тому

    Yes! I'm glad you went with High N Dry over Pyromania. The rawness and heaviness of that album was probably the best stuff Leppard has ever done.

    Another great list. Some alternatives I would suggest, however: Kiss Aluve instead of the debut, it’s simply iconic; This next one helped launch me into hard rock, and it’s another live album but, again, its iconic, Foghat Live; Finally, I would suggest Nazareth’s Hair of the Dog. I remember the record clubs (RCA, Colombia) always featured this record, and why not? It’s fantastic!
