    Some of those mentioned are worth exploring; you did well to point them out to me! ;)
    P.S.: T-Rex has nothing to do with hard rock, I don't like Status Quo...

    Of course, I don't dispute the value of T-Rex; I just find the hard-rock label incorrect for them. They are THE glam. If anything, they could be classified as glam rock or simply rock... Anyway, I'll keep your tip about their albums in mind. ;)

    If you like complicated things, PornoGraffiti by Extreme isn't bad either. Then if you’re into Southern/Hard rock, Raunch'nRoll Live by Black Oak Arkansas is nice; and if you want something different, I recommend Tommy Bolin (whom Fedezan knows well). Anyway, my favorites by T-Rex are Electric Warrior and The Slider.

    Instead, I want to recommend a gem that is unfortunately little known: "Ursa Major" by the band of the same name (on guitar Dick Wagner, who would later play for Alice Cooper, Lou Reed, and others). Here’s a link
     
  • stonecoldcrazy

    Damn, Nazareth really needs to be explored more, good job Felo! p.s.: I listened to Pornograffiti several years ago and if I remember correctly, it disappointed me quite a bit...

    Yes, well, virtuosity is annoying to me too; but some people like it. Okay, since you're in the mood for new listens, I don't know if you're familiar with Invasion Of Your Privacy by Ratt; I really liked it. It's impossible not to mention Blue Oyster Cult by the band of the same name. Then I would recommend (if you haven't already listened to it) Electric by The Cult with Billy Duffy. Another Hard Rock album I liked is Live Album by Grand Funk Railroad (Farner is a ridiculed genius), or also We're an American Band.

    I approve, Felo, and I’ll add: Blue Oyster Cult's "Secret Treaties" and "Fire of Unknown Origin" (the best from two different eras); Grand Funk Railroad's "Closer to Home" and "We're an American Band" (again, two different eras).

    FedeZ, I listened to a couple more songs by Ursa Major, great!!! It's strange that an album like that went unnoticed in '72... but do you know if they made any other albums of a certain level?
     
  • stonecoldcrazy

    "Yes, well, virtuosity sucks for me too" >>>>> the only super-virtuoso who doesn’t make me cringe is Eddie Van Halen, especially hate his fucking clones! :)

    No, it's the only album they've made (sigh), and also my first review on DeBaser... Dick Wagner is well-known and has played on the best albums of Alice Cooper and on "Berlin" and "Rock'n'roll animal" by Lou Reed, as well as on Peter Gabriel's solo debut.

    Yes, I remember Berlin, but I delved deeper into Steve Hunter; I only knew Dick Wagner by name. (I knew he collaborated with Mark Farner, and that made me think of Grand Funk Railroad ;))

    Another Hard/Glam artist that I really like is Mick Ronson, especially his solo work with Slaughter On Tenth Avenue; or Ronnie Montrose with Montrose; or Todd Rundgren; or John Kay and his Steppenwolf; Foghat (thus Savoy Brown); Mountain; Ten Years After with Alvin Lee; Slade; Mott the Hoople, etc...

    @Fedez I find Van Halen II and Women and Children First truly stunning, definitely superior to 1984... then, with the change of singer, they moved into strictly AOR territory while still maintaining decent levels...
    @Felo I meant those guitarists, especially from the Los Angeles and American scene of the '80s, who limited themselves to cloning his style without the slightest bit of originality or creativity, in short, lousy artists who poorly concealed their mediocrity with speed of execution... :D

    @stone: I like that dedication about Ursa Major, and for this reason, I'm giving you two more suggestions: the homonymous album by Granicus (Zeppelin-like) and if you don't know them, Spooky Two by Spooky Tooth.

    I almost forgot another INDISPENSABLE name: do you know Wishbone Ash? Their "Argus" is for me one of the absolute masterpieces of the 70s. And "There's the Rub" is also very beautiful, thanks mainly to their most beautiful song "Persephone" ( ).

    Actually, it was very difficult for me to choose among the first 3 albums by Free, all 3 are beautiful! However, Free seems slightly more mature than the first one, a bit dirtier, more bluesy than the second one...

    The first is rougher and wilder. "Argus" is different, more melodic and polished. Not to mention distinctly more inspired.

    rock70 read carefully, I'm referring only to the first 2 albums with Paul DiAnno, which I believe are much closer to hard rock than to canonical heavy metal. ;)

    The early Maiden and Judas fit in perfectly ;) Then great ranking, maybe I would have placed the Rainbow a bit higher (and I would have eliminated the devilish trilogy Aereopipp-allacazzodicane-pistoloni di rose but oh well :)

    Who are the Blue Cheer?
     
  • stonecoldcrazy
    stonecoldcrazy
    23 mar 11
    Blue Cheer are simply the very first hard rock band ever (excluding, of course, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Cream, Jeff Beck Group, ...) and one of the most influential when it comes to genres like metal and stoner... in short, they played "a kind of acid hard rock laced with blues" (who the hell knows what I just said?!! XD). I recommend you listen to at least the first two: Vincebus Eruptum, Outsideinside, both from '68. ;)
     
  • hjhhjij
    hjhhjij
    23 mar 11
    Sure, I will listen, thanks for the suggestion. But you should also listen to Sea shanties by High Tide ('69), they're very hard and way ahead of their time (hard-prog acid with a wild violin).
     
  • stonecoldcrazy

    So Felo, you absolutely have to listen to their second album, which is at least on the same level as the first. The next two albums I listened to weren't bad either, but they definitely lacked the revolutionary fervor of the first two albums, which truly weigh like boulders. I'll give you an incentive to listen to it: their second album has a really nice cover of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" by the Stones! :)

    Two questions come to mind. Do you think "Defenders of the Faith" by Judas Priest is a mix of hard rock? Second question: do you prefer "Hysteria" to "High 'n' Dry" by Def Leppard? Strange... Anyway, overall it's a great ranking. Congratulations!
     
  • stonecoldcrazy

    19 oct 11
    No, no, Defenders is heavy metal, but I find that in almost all Judas albums there's a purely hard rock attitude (except for very metal albums like Painkiller, which I actually have a love-hate relationship with), so I included them here too. P.S.: in that heavy metal list, of course, I only included them! :D Ah, regarding Leppard, yes, I prefer Hysteria, which I find more unique compared to High 'n' Dry and Pyromania, for example.
