Hardest-Rocking albums
Nitcentral's Bulletin Brash Reflections: Music: Music Catch-Basin: Hardest-Rocking albums
By Todd Pence on Sunday, April 28, 2002 - 7:25 pm:

These are the studio albums that shake the house, rattle your teeth, and leave you exhausted. Here is a top five list off the top of my head:

1. AC/DC Highway To Hell
2. MC5 High Time
3. Blue Oyster Cult Tyranny And Mutation
4. Judas Priest Screaming For Vengeance
5. Stray Suicide

Seems to me there should be a Zeppelin, Purple or Sabbath album in there somewhere, but I couldn't find a single album from these bands that rocked as hard as these five.

*makes note to buy the five aforementioned albums*

Lateralus Tool
Hellbilly Deluxe Rob Zombie
Ride the Lightning Metallica

etc.

Good luck finding the Stray album - I don't think it's ever been released on CD, and the original vinyl is a collector's item which fetches exorbiant prices. Two of the heaviest tracks, however, appear on the more recent CD anthology of the band, including "Jericho" which includes one of the most apocalyptic solos in history.

I don't know where my brain was when I typed this list - the number one slot should have gone to Back In Black, not Highway To Hell.

Heh, yeah, was wondering 'bout that.

Rammstein, Sehnsucht

Hey, CC! That's what I was gonna write! I mean, it, honest! I love "Sehnsucht"! But I think that, pound for pound, their follow-up, "Mutter" rocks harder!

I suppose another example I could give would be by another German hard rock group, the Puhdys, and their album called "Wilder Frieden". They sang two versions of "Wut Will Nicht Sterben" (My Anger Will Never Die) one just by themselves, and the one I like much better, with Till Lindemann of RAMMSTEIN!

But I suppose that hardly ANYBODY over here has ever heard of them. No marketing. That's too bad! These guys are in their 50's and 60's, and still rock harder than anything Fred Durst or anybody he's "discovered" and careers he's "made" ever possibly could!

Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong! (blatant, shameless Dennis Miller reference)

Not necessarily the "hardest" rocking album, but Born to Run. Not a single bad track in there.
