I hadn't really considered Rainbow but they were probably an important 'link' band between old and new in the seventies. Its much clearer to me that something like Rising is more heavy metal compared to say In Rock or Led Zep II. Also Thin Lizzy with that twin guitar thing of Gary Moore and Scott Goram was another very important band for the genre. Can only do 12 'proper' metal albums, 3 at the bottom are clearly not but do have a strong metal influence.
Led Zep - II Deep Purple - In Rock Rainbow - Rising Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous Iron Maiden - Powerslave Opeth - Pale Communion Mastodon - Crack the Skye Haken - Vector Animals As Leaders - S/t Exivious - Exivious Katatonia - City Burials Meshuggah - The Violent Sleep Of Reason Rush - 2112 Porcupine Tree - Deadwing Tool - Lateralus |

If you haven't seen it, I've regretted the term "the proper Metal" (after Cristi's critism), as I now find it too subjective and condescending towards the earlier Metal. Edit: I think your point about Rainbow and Thin Lizzy is quite interesting.

How do some you distinguish between heavy metal and hard rock? I really don't have one.
Anyway, 15 off the top of my head (1 album per artist). I am sure I have left off other favorites. 1. Metallica - Master of Puppets 2. Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime 3. Corrosion of Conformity - Blind 4. Prong - Prove You Wrong 5. Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast 6. Motorhead - Orgasmatron 7. Anthrax - Sound of White Noise 8. AC/DC - Highway to Hell 9. Black Sabbath - Paranoid 10. Tool - Lateralus 11. Cynic - Traced in Air 12. Warrior Soul - God, Drugs and the New Republic 13. Judas Priest - Screaming for Vengeance 14. Megadeth - Countdown to Extinction 15. Dream Theater - Images and Words |

One thing more I don't understand in this question: If Look at your Self is considered Prog then why should Paranoid not be?

don't start with another what's prog and what's not, you'll be killing your own thread.

it goes at the top of the general music page every time someone posts. But discussions like what's prog and what's not are thread killers and derail the whole initial conversation. Best be avoided in my humble opinion.

Agree, so even I find these discussions very constructive for Prog at the time being, it has to be in an appropriate quantity.

One by each artist, otherwise it would be dominated by Black Sabbath, Riverside, and Dream Theater.
Ran with 19...Too difficult to separate the last eight.
1) Black Sabbath - Paranoid 2) Dream Theater - Six Degrees of Turbulence 3) Riverside- "Anno Domini High Definition" 4) UneXpecT- "Fables Of The Sleepless Empire" 5) Deep Purple- "Deep Purple In Rock" 6) Diablo Swing Orchestra- "Pacifisticuffs" 7) Tool - "Fear Inoculum" 8) Queensryche - "Operation: Mindcrime" 9) Behold...The Arctopus- "Skullgrid" 10) Ayreon- "The Human Equation" 11) Opeth- "Pale Communion" 12) Pain of Salvation- "The Perfect Element-Part 1" 13) Katatonia- "Last Fair Deal Gone Down" 14) Sleepytime Gorilla Museum- "Of Natural History" 15) Judas Priest - "Sad Wings of Destiny" 16) Therion- "Theli" 17) Caligula's Horse- "The Tide, The Thief, & The River's End" 18) Sigh- "Imaginary Sonicscape" 19)Devin Townsend Project- "Deconstruction" Would like to see two lists (70's metal, that folks in the1970's called metal, but people now name "hard rock") Bands like ACDC, Led Zeppelin, and Deep Purple. The other list? Metal that started when Fates Warning, Metallica, and Queensryche hit the ground running. I think of Rainbow- Rising as the bridge album between 1970's hard rock metal and early 80's metal and beyond. Edited by omphaloskepsis - November 27 2021 at 06:39 |

^ Therion - Theli - now that's a great, groundbreaking album, shame on me I didn't think about it when i made my list. I listened to it when it came out, still listen to it every once in a while, never got old.
