I'd toss in some SRC from Detroit too...but they were more psych than hard rock.  Love that High Tide "sea shanties" album too, but more psych than hard rock.
 
Honourable mention should go to The Stooges - "Fun House"

Captain Beyond - "Captain Beyond"
Blue Oyster Cult - "Secret Treaties"
Spooky Tooth - "Spooky Two"
Thin Lizzy - "Bad Reputation"
Scorpions - "Fly To The Rainbow"
Demon - "British Standard Approved"
Rainbow - "Difficult To Cure"
Nice to see someone mention Nantucket Sleighride.  What with Felix hanging around, it occasionally just touches the borders of prog. 
Can you tell me where we're headin'?
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon.

I'm a "Crosscut Saw" and "Black Diamond" man myself ... but it should be noted that it was Toni's version of "Amazing Grace" that got Jimi to do another anthem a couple of weeks later!

Hi,
 
Hawkwind - Space Ritual (bring your Michael Moorcock!)
Gong - Floating Anarchy (specially side 2 with Ali Baba!)
Hawkwind - Electric Tepee (with its slight Ambient Rave Rip!)
Amon Duul 2 - Yeti (don't forget the sandoz!)
Nektar - Recycled (total non stop stomp)

Spooky Tooth's Spooky Two would have to rank right up there.  There's guitars and Hammonds growling up out of the belly of that beast.  Evil Woman has probably my second favorite rock guitar solo of all time.

2. Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath

Yeah, I know too classic and obvious, okay here are some others which I wouldn't consider one of the best, but still are great:
 
Medusa - Trapeze
Fly by Night - Rush
Ready 'n Willing - Whitesnake (though maybe it's more blues rock.. )
High Voltage - Ac/Dc
Look at Yourself - Uriah Heep
Never Turn Your Back on a Friend - Budgie
Hair of the Dog - Nazareth
