Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

well we have red by King Crimson, though i never really found it that heavy. It was rated in the top 100 of heaviest albums ever by some random magazine so I guess that counts for something.

The bass tone on Fallen Angel fits my definition of heavy. but perhaps not the extreme metal definition of heavy, which means either "extremely slow" or "the studio engineer cut away everything that makes the guitar sound like a definitive instrument"...
I was thinking that Jannick Top's version of De Futura was unnecessary heavy for something recorded during the seventies. there's no blues anywhere near the song, though, and somehow that tends to score people hevypointz

Great choices, I haven't hear II BALLETTO DE BRONZO - Ys in a longtime. I can't remember how heavy that is.
HIGH TIDE is super heavy for the late 60's probably the heaviest.

I think Van der Graaf Generator could be pretty heavy, even without guitars. I think the music was so dark and Hammill's voice so intense that they really outdid most metal bands in terms of heavy. King Crimson as well, along similar lines as my reasoning for VdGG.
and Just because they're here, albeit in prog related, Black Sabbath.

Frumpy from Germany had some pretty heavy s#*%.Check out Frumpy 2 from `71. If Take Care Of Illusion ain`t a heavy track then I don`t know what is. Check out the video here on PA in their section.

Frumpy definitely deserve some more attention. they were a great band. Inga Rumpf is one of the most powerful female vocalists there are. I especially recommend their live album

FUSION ORCHESTRA was kinda hit and miss. I don't remember it being particularly heavy.
