This is a mix of my personal favourite 60's and 70's hard rock/metal songs and the more influential ones, songs that I think every metal fan need to hear. A mix of the most well-known songs to totally obscure stuff. If you think I have missed some important song you can always suggest me.

1.

2.The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced

3.Cream - Disraeli Gears

4.Clear Light - Clear Light

5.Blue Cheer - Vincebus Eruptum

Kinda saw another relative lists on here that state this, one bad and one inspirational, so thought I might do my own.

Alphabetic order. And don't ask why a lot of Testament stuff is there, if their albums hadn't had so much impact, Testa wouldn't be my favorite band.

1.AC/DC - Back In Black

2.Accept - Stalingrad

3.Agalloch - The Mantle

4.Amon Amarth - Versus The World

5.Anthrax - Spreading The Disease

1.Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory

2.Queensrÿche - Operation: Mindcrime

3.Rush - 2112

Here they are, in order of year, and order of personal preference within each year. My utterly favourite songs from pre-1980 classics, rendered in my never-really-humble opinion, as everything should be.

Yes, that last bit may have been a touch of sarcasm. But this isn't. With few exceptions, every song on each album that made the list rocks - that's why I've rated them 9 or 10 - but these are my absolute favourites:

1.Deep Purple - Shades Of Deep Purple

2.Neil Young - Neil Young

3.Jethro Tull - This Was

4.Cream - Wheels of Fire

5.The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Electric Ladyland

Over the past few decades music has been completely turned over on its back, and I blame these geniuses.

1.King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King

2.Genesis - Nursery Cryme

3.Jethro Tull - Aqualung

4.Yes - Fragile

5.Pink Floyd - Darkside of The Moon
