THE METAL BIBLE Part I: The 70s

Thumbs up: +1
Welcome to what I consider the "1970s Metal Bible" or in other words, a list of records of various genres in the arrays of Metal and Hard Rock that I deem essential or at least very recommended to listeners of hard and heavy music. This and the other parts of this journey through the decades may be a very overwhelming list. I essentially try to collect all albums in the History of Metal that strike me as worthwhile. May this be a guideline for people that seek for an entrance to a particular genre or certain bands. In no means I am saying, that this list is indisputable by any means. I consider these my personal picks for albums that should be listened to by die-hard metal fans at least once. Hopefully you can discover some new music or relate with my picks. If I missed something that you would include in such a list, please tell me in the form of a comment. Enjoy! \,,/

Thank I really tried to do some digging, because the 70s were always neglected by me but always found the sound interesting that began to form what we call Heavy Metal today.

Just checking if Legend - From The Fjörds is here. Might be the best metal album before 1983.


one of the best definitely.
