Great poll, PabloThumbs Up! As there is only one possible choice, I went for Fireball (yes, once again!), followed by In Rock and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. As regards Rising, I am not totally convinced it's HP, though of course it's an album that helped shape some subgenres of prog-metal. However, there is a glaring omission in the poll, a PR album that has an extremely high rating here... BOC's awesome Secret Treaties.

Edit: Yes, Cozy Powell played drums on Rising (as well as on Long Live Rock'n'Roll and Down to Earth). Aynsley Dunbar, on the other hand, never played with Rainbow, but rather with Whitesnake - he is credited as the drummer on 1987, if my memory serves me right.

I was going to say Houses of the Holy; well it has a lot of mellotron, so... Tongue

You're probably right, though.  I think LZ did live on the outskirts of prog, so to speak, never really got there but who cares, the output was pure gold.

I don't like Prog Metal, but that's really not the point, it's actually because the Dio's voice, just irritates me, except on few doses as in Rainbow's debut or Heaven & Hell.

I'm quite sure it's Cozy Powell on drums on Rising.

Hmmm, no votes, no posts

Well I'll have to make the first move then. It's Sabbath Bloody Sabbath for me, the adding of Keyboards much more present than the previous makes this album very proggy plus the compositions carry all more than 6 minutes which are not repetitive, they have a lot of time changes and all.

These are not necessary faves, in fact I really dislike some of the ones listed *cough* Rising *cough*

Anyways, which of these albums you consider Heavy Prog or at least Heavy Prog Related.
