Well, this past month on youtube I was watching Sea of Tranquility, which is a music talk page hosted by Pete Pardo, and he talks about all sorts of stuff. I recommend subscribing to the page if you haven't. Well, last month, for each day, he mentioned a favorite album from the 70s in the Hard Rock & Metal genres. He picked some really good stuff, and I followed along and included stuff that I liked. Wasn't easy, but I think I got some good stuff, even though there's others that I could've mentioned as well. Here's my list of albums, and these aren't really ranked, just stuff I like:

#31: Mountain - Climbing!
#30: Aerosmith - Rocks
#29: Motorhead - Overkill
#28: Grand Funk Railroad - Grand Funk (The Red Album)
#27: Rainbow - Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow
#26: Thin Lizzy - Fighting
#25: Montrose - Montrose
#24: Foghat - Fool For The City
#23: AC/DC - Powerage
#22: Judas Priest - Killing Machine/Hell Bent For Leather
#21: Humble Pie - Smokin'
#20: Blackfoot - Tomcattin'
#19: Van Halen - Van Halen II
#18: Heart - Little Queen
#17: Scorpions - Taken By Force
#16: UFO - Force It
#15: Foreigner - Foreigner
#14: Cactus - Cactus
#13: Black Sabbath - Master Of Reality
#12: Kiss - Destroyer
#11: Queen - Sheer Heart Attack
#10: Ted Nugent - Ted Nugent
#09: The Who - Who's Next
#08: Boston - Boston
#07: Deep Purple - Machine Head
#06: Bad Company - Bad Company
#05: ZZ Top - Tres Hombres
#04: Kansas - Monolith
#03: Rush - 2112
#02: Alice Cooper - Billion Dollar Babies
#01: Led Zeppelin - Houses Of The Holy

Would have to mention, in the hard rock category, Why Dontcha, by West Bruce & Laing, underrated imo - their cover of Third Degree is monster slow blues

So much music ... so little time!  Listen like your life depends on it.  It does!
