:thumbsup: :rock: Also depends on when you were born. For me it was something like:

Black Sabbath - Paranoid/Heaven and Hell
Ozzy Osbourne - Blizzard of Oz/Diary of a Madman
Van Halen - Van Halen thru Fair Warning
Loudness - Thunder in the East
Metallica - Ride the Lightning/Master of Puppets
Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind
AC/DC - Back in Black/Highway to Hell
Motley Crue - Shout at the Devil
Ratt - Invasion of Your Privacy
Judas Priest - Screaming for Vengeance
Scorpions - Love at First Sting
(There should be some Deep Purple, Megadeth and Dokken in there too... lol) :hairband: :rockon: :shred:

Thumbs up Ferrari-Dude. I forgot how good Def Leppard sounded on those early LP's when Steve Clark was still alive! Good stuff! :rock:

Hi Chief,

I do like the original stuff too but to my mind some of this is really heavy rock or like proto-metal but excellent none the less.

I especially like your choices of UFO, Machine Head and Zep II. Blackmore, Schenker and Page are masters.

Whitesnake and Def Leppard are more like hard than heavy for me, but for sure I might be so wrong :lol: :peace:
