Massive Rush fan so I voted for Rainbow Rising of course Tongue. It's one of a kind in my world. I don't bother with a lot of heavy rock (even LZ) that much, but that album re-wrote the rules. Blackmore is a genius but having Tony Carey (another musical genius) with Dio, Cozy and Bain was a one off explosion of creativity. Me gushing much.

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

I'm sure they did not care how they are classified. Also the press of the time were not kind to them for some reason. 

If someone would classify Queen II as art-rock, it would not be wrong IMO. Hard rock would not be wrong either.

Rainbow - Rising for the B-side alone... A Light in the Black is just as great as Stargazer

Good list. Hard to choose..

It's between Queen, Rush, Rainbow and Zep...

Ok, I'll go for Rush.

Rainbow: Rising is my favourite, Dio's vocals are incredible, and Stargazer will forever be one of my favourite songs of all time.

I voted for Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple is right up there as well but I want to shout out for Capt. Beyond because that first CB album is a good one.

Queen II. It's Queen best album they ever did. Amazing from the start to the end. Granted: there is a lot of great albums in this poll (Rush, Zepp, Deep Purple, Heep, Rainbow), but Queen II has a soft spot in my heart. White Queen, Ogre Battle, Fairy Feller's Master Stroke or The March Of The Black Queen are fantastic and remaining song are nevertheless great... I couldn't vote differently here.
