10 Essential Hard Rock Albums


The Rover

Recommended Posts

As I mentioned before, I'm curious to know when these became "hard rock" albums. I still don't hear any hard rock on The Joshua Tree or Rumours either. If anything, that era of Fleetwood Mac had much more to do with the California-drenched, softer sounds of rock n' roll than anything even remotely approaching hard rock.

I agree with you saying that Dark Side of the Moon is not really a hard rock album. I think that out of Pink Floyd albums The Wall is closest to hard rock.

Floyd arent hard rock any more than the Grateful Dead. Floyd are pretty much the George Lucas version of the Grateful Dead but with synths, slightly louder guitar, paranoid lyrics & lasers shows instead of a banjo,lapsteel guitar, & a jug being played by even hairer musicians. Both are bands are mellow stoney music that doesnt real aggression.
