Okay, here you go w/ the album to get:

the Pat Travers Band (Go For What You Know)
UFO (Strangers In The Night)
Foghat (get the King Biscuit live album ... awesome stuff)
April Wine (again, get the King Biscuit live album ... awesome stuff)
Rush (their first album is often forgotten as a very straight ahead heavy album)
Scorpions (Love Drive w/ Michael Schenker on lead guitar)
Ted Nugent (don't laugh, Ted was the man back in the day ... get Double Live Gonzo)
Judas Priest (circa 1978 ... Unleashed In The East is their best album)
Thin Lizzy (Live and Dangerous ... one of the best albums ever)
Triumph (Rock and Roll Machine)
Aerosmith (back in the '70s, they smoked and everything was great ... get Rocks and Live Bootleg if you do not have them)
Alice Cooper (his greatest hits ... he is very under-rated, great songwriter)
Blue Oyster Cult (they were always better live, get "On Your Feet Or On Your Knees" and "Some Enchanted Evening")

there was this awesome band called Stillwater. not well-known but they were featured in the movie Almost Famous ( that wasn't the real band in the movie, but the songs on the soundtrack are the real deal). they have some great tunes, but you might have to dig a bit

AC/DC started in the late 70's and i like them much better in that time, before Bon died

some others...
robin trower
cactus
molly hatchet

Chet, for a current band with an early-70s vibe, check the Mooney Suzuki.

Here's the video for their song "Alive and Amplified" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rJnIS5JWHw
Check out the cool Fender Starcaster played by the lead singer! :shock:


With his stocking cap and mutton chops, that lead singer is a dead ringer for Michael Nesmith.

[quote="CAFeathers"]Expanding my listening pleasures. Give the names of some good Hard Rock bands to check out. I would prefer Classic stuff from the 60's, 70's, and maybe the 80's.

Well Chet: You've certainly a great deal of listening to do. I hope you will have time sufficient on your hands, in the best of health, to do so. :wink:

P.S......start with 'Rush'. 8)

Doc :wink:

Aren't they also labelled as 'proto-metal', and might not 'The Who"'s audience, as well as others of that vintage or genre herein not mentioned, take exception to the label.."The Gods of Hard Rock" :?: :roll:

(A little controversy stirred into the pot, to spice the soup, and bring others to the table :idea: : ...Hee..Hee. :P

Was remined of this on a thread back to Orville. Not a band but I was thinking of Robin Trower's 'In The Line of Fire', and the band 'Arc Angel' title work.

While there were a few listing here that I'm not sure I would consider as "hard rock" (I always thought Rush was more progressive than hard rock myself), I'm surprised no one mentioned some early metal like Black Sabbath/Ozzie and Iron Maiden. While technically it's early metal, by todays standards, it certainly qualifies as hard rock too. Sabbath's "Masters of Reality"...some very juicy stuff there :D.
