Blossom Toes - If only for a Moment (1969). A really great hard psych rock album!
This one is really great! almost growling in 1969
Another great band is Jericho Jones from Israel
Jericho - Jericho (1972) also Jericho Jones (same group as Jericho. Before Jericho Jones they were called The Churchill's) - Junkies Monkeys & Donkeys (1971) Both are really good!
\m/ Prog Metal?
From 1968. And a nice prog song
Lucifer's Friend - Lucifer's Friend (1970). Nice Hard Rock. Sounds like a mix of Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin

Montrose?? That's a name I've not heard since the early 80's courtesy of Tommy Vance.
My choice would have to be 'Who's Next?' by The Who, although ask me again in six months time, and it would be something different.
The first Montrose album is a long forgotten classic, good call Alan - also Rainbow Rising (been listening to that today on the way to work as it happens...). Andy - you beat me to 'Who's Next' - absolute blinder (by far my favorite Who album)
A couple more for you:
Not a bad track on this album - Aerosmith really arrived in 1976 with this one, a definite 5 star in my book.
And I cannot believe this one's not been mentioned:
Frequently listed in poll after poll as one of the greatest live hard rock albums ever - and with good reason

Not forgotten by me! (although I try to keep the cover hidden as much as possible).
Talking of live albums, UFO's "Strangers in the Night" is another classic.

^ If we are considering live albums......then I will have to choose UFO-Strangers In the Night. These are some of the best songs compiled live I can think of in the Hard Rock category.
Michael Schenker made UFO what it was back then....

Let's not forget The Who's Live At Leeds. Not saying it's the best, but it surely ranks right up there with In Rock.
Pretty safe to say this is the one of the best live rock albums ever and captured the band at the high point of their career. Just cooks from start to finish and I've never heard another power trio quite like them...so very unique.
My favorite's got to be an often overlooked rock and roll gem Cosmo's Factory by CCR

Completely forgot about Aerosmith. Toys in the Attic is also worthy of mention.
