Re: Favourite Hard Rock/Proto Metal releases?
I meant the releases that come under this catogory released in those years. Such as Ashbury etccaminantenocturno wrote:Nightlock wrote:Not sure if there's a thread about this, did a quick search and couldn't find anything. Accepting upto 85 but it really all should be in the 70's.
Start listing! (I'll come back with mine)
Before '85? - That would include all the NWOBHM-stuff!
Budgie were mentioned before ... Blue Öyster Cult ... Golden Earring are really great (not too metal though) ... I dunno ... Riot? Gillan? Derringer? Vandenberg? Y&T? Montrose? What do you call "metal" in the 70s actually (apart of course Sabbath, Priest, Motörhead)?

If your attending something dark and evil, you are wrong !tomas wrote:@ tbieri:
Hell Preachers Inc. looks interesting. Could you give us some more information?.
But it's full of heavy organs and fuzzy guitars. Short and crunchy songs, not too long and too fucked up like some Kraut Bands. It also has a 60ies feel (is from 1969), so not too heavy !
Rumours says that the record is from some Deep Purple musicians, but Purple always denied it ! Some 60/70ies specialists i know are shure that it is Deep Purple, but i don't think it's true, but after all i don't have the slightest idea.
Some of the heavier Amon Düül II stuff is really good as well:

Don't know if you can call it 'proto-metal' but it definitely has a doomy vibe.
@Nightsblood:
In the 'insane ebay auctions' thread you said you didn't know anything about krautrock. Well, old Amon Düül (II) is a good place to start!

Amon Düül II are in my top 5 favorite bands without a doubt, but i left them off because if i put them on there'd be a slew of other krautrock i'd have to add to a list that's already too long. hahaNoisenik wrote:Speaking of Amon Duul II. Phallus Dei, Yeti and Tanz Der Lemminge are absolutely killer albums. Overwhelming ... like being engulfed by an invisible monster ...
definitely not my favorite from the list, i guess that's why it came to mind last...but i still like it for the most part.tomas wrote:@ tbieri:

@muskeg:
Great list! But I have to admit that I don't like the Salem Mass album. Besides the first song, everything is utterly boring in my opinion.
