This is basically what some people call "proto metal". Now, this is not the name of a metal subgenre, but just a term that refers to bands that (without any premeditation that is) that shaped up heavy metal music. There was a lot of psychedelic rock, heavy psych, blues-rock that lead to heavier sounds. Little list (other bands) Vanilla Fudge Grand Funk Railroad Mountain Spooky Tooth Gun High Tide Humble Pie and a lot of short lived bands, I could mention a few if you want me to. Nice list

I've just seen Pink Floyd's More. One of my favorites from PF. Nile Song & Ibiza Bar are the heaviest thing they ever did.

Posts: 6619 Written by Crème fraiche on 28.01.2022 at 16:29 Other jazz fusion rock bands similar to Frank Zappa from that era that I would recommend would be Captain Beefheart, Soft Machine, and early King Crimson, but I would highly recommend Santana the most, he was mostly early 70's, but began in the late 60's.

Posts: 5630 Written by AndyMetalFreak on 28.01.2022 at 16:47 I believe Crème fraiche wants some Zappa albums recommendations. Also Beefheart does not sound like Zappa. I would not dare recommend Beefheart to anyone...

The Who - I Can See for Miles was the heaviest thing around at hat time, Paul McCartney made Helter Skelter in a reaction to that, wanting to create something louder, heavier somehow. The Who song is better though (IMO obviously).

Hot Rats is my favourite Zappa album, but my other favourites of mine are Apostrophe ('), Over-nite sensation, and Sheik Yerbouti, which I would say are all good in a Zappa kind of way, so I guess I would recommend them.
