pmbomb

I guess not because also

ACDC Back In Black
Black Sabbath Havein & Hell
Dio Eponymous
Maiden Number of the Beast
Queensryche Mindcrime
Scorpions Blackout
ZZ Top - Pick from a few
Appetite for Destruction

is it up there?

me too often, depends on the day.

Led Zep 2 shirley ?

pmbomb

No Led Zep. I was only 3 so it's dinosaur rock to me. I guess I mean albums that were in my life contemporaneously.

DrCornelius

I'm not sure what contemporaneously means but I think you are hinting that I'm an old git. Guilty.....

How about Appetite for Destruction ? You must have at least been at school for that one Matt :-)

pmbomb

You're quite right, missed that one, added.

I hint nothing.

It's a classic fo' sho'....but for me, Zep's Presence is the best hard rock album.

you're right.

And I missed off UFO Strangers In The Night.

DrCornelius

I'd pick Lovedrive over Blackout for the cover alone (at least the 15 year old me would have done )

no internet in those days ...

& Coast to Coast - always loved that.

All I listened to for six months was Electric and AFD. Then I went Alternative Rock

It's a good album, but I wouldn't call it "hard rock".

Then again, I had followed them from Southern Death Cult -> Death Cult -> The Cult, and Electric was about where I bailed out.

Love is also my favourite Cult album...It has great meaning for me.. my best friend at Secondary School gave it to me to listen to, and he died in a road accident whilst I still had his album.

Maybe just "rock", or "alt rock".

Motorhead is hard rock.

Danzig 3
Riot have a couple of contenders. 
MC5 kick out the jams. 
Grand Funk Live

In terms of broad appeal it has to be Appetite for Destruction or Back in Black.

My favourite is 'Blast Tyrant' by Clutch.
