#6 AC/DC - Let There Be Rock​

@Sirjack #2
@Slammed #3
@zabu of nΩd #6

#6 Meat Loaf - Bat Out of Hell​

@Slammed #1
@Oblivious Maximus #4

A 2nd, 3rd & 6th would be worth more points than 1st & 4th wouldn't it? Looks like the value of the #6 got missed out of your sum for AC/DC.

The weird part is it's the first time I looked at the rankings that closely. Spideygeek sense.

What happened was that I accidentally forgot to enter zabu's votes. I put down a column header with his name, but held off on adding his ranks because his list wasn't finalized yet. I did the same thing with HamburgerBoy except that I remembered to keep his name greyed out to remind me to add the votes later on, but I neglected to do the same thing with zabu. But now it's fixed, so the real top ten is forthcoming.

Genre(s):
Rock Opera, Pop Rock
Hard Rock, Piano Rock, AOR, Symphonic Rock
​

Meatloaf is the shit

I despise Meatloaf, with a passion. Because at my job, they play the radio, and one time the station played "Bat out of Hell" and the song played for at least 45mins. I don't know if the song is actually that long, or if they played the song 15 times in a row...Either way a horrible experience it was...

Meatloaf is fucking awesome.
Kill yourself.

#6 AC/DC - Let There Be Rock

Genre(s):
Hard Rock
Blues Rock, Rock & Roll

​

Albums I'd recommend as first priority listening would be Powerage, Let There Be Rock, Highway To Hell, Back In Black, For Those About To Rock We Salute You, and Flick of The Switch. If you like what you hear and would like to branch out further, I'd be happy to recommend others.

#5 Steely Dan - Aja

Genre(s):
Jazz-Rock, Pop Rock
Funk Rock
​

Needs some more Steely Dan. Countdown to Ecstasy and Aja are pretty essential.

Steely Dan is a song-oriented band, but not nearly as diverse as Jethro Tull. I'm not sure how you'll like them... but if you don't, then you just have shitty taste, so I can't help you.

#4 Jethro Tull - Songs of the Wood

Genre(s):
Folk Rock, Progressive Rock
British Folk Rock, Progressive Folk
​

Well, in that case, Tull might not be for you - though if you do decide to get any more of their albums, Songs From the Wood is more homogeneous, and also has excellent songwriting.

#3 Goblin - Suspiria

Genre(s):
Progressive Rock, Film Score
Horror Synth
​

Oh yeah, how could I have forgotten Suspiria?!?!
That sonudtrack by Goblin is awesome, so creepy and so fitting with the film

Not metal, but classic prog-rock, Goblin scored many of Italian director's Dario Argento's films. The best being the "Suspiria" soundtrack.
