My hot take:

  • Canterbury: Hatfield & the North (1974)
  • Crossover: Ommadawn (1975)
  • Eclectic: Godbluff (1975)
  • Experimental Post Metal: Somewhere Along the Highway (2006)
  • Heavy: Moving Pictures (1981)
  • Indo: ?
  • Jazz Rock: In a Silent Way (1969)
  • Krautrock: Yeti (1970)
  • Neo: Script for a Jester's Tear (1983)
  • Post-Rock: F♯ A♯ ∞ (1997)
  • Prog Folk: Songs from the Wood (1977)
  • Prog Electronic: Phaedra (1974)
  • Prog Metal: Operation Mindcrime (1988)
  • Psychedelic: Animals (1977)
  • RIO: Waka/Jawaka (1972)
  • RPI: Ys (1972)
  • Symphonic: Foxtrot (1972)
  • Tech Metal: Individual Thought Patterns (1993)
  • Zeuhl: Mekanïk Destruktïẁ Kommandöh (1973)
  • Related: Led Zeppelin IV (1971)
  • Proto: Deep Purple In Rock (1970)
Of course Eclectic, Symphonic, Heavy and Tech are the hardest to determine. For some subgenres (ie. Crossover, Folk, Electronic etc.) I'm dead set on a specific artist, but not that sure which album.
