Release in January, 1968, I might consider Vincebus Eruptum the first heavy rock album. Vanilla Fudge came out the previous year, but it's not nearly as heavy and wasn't included in the nomination list. Nor were Cream or Hendrix.

the results have been very kind to me so far.

if your votes are all coming in now then I suppose you might be disappointed later, lol. So I guess noone wants their votes to place just yet!
btw who does everyone think will be in the top 10?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 6 August 2010 23:05 (thirteen years ago) link
probably a Maiden album (maybe Powerslave?), Reign in Blood I'd guess, Appetite for Destruction, um, a Mastodon album?
― Mordy, Friday, 6 August 2010 23:07 (thirteen years ago) link
Meh I know certain things I voted for will likely place very high.
In the top ten?
Probably:Zeppelin IVParanoidsomething by Maiden and Priest...I'm not sure.

didn't vote for it, but i love that Pentagram album -- some great stuff on this list so far

ok I've never even heard of Worship, to my shame

can i just say I'm surprised at the amount of DM that has placed so far, I always thought these dudes didn't vote.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 6 August 2010 23:22 (thirteen years ago) link
needs more BM
― Mordy, Friday, 6 August 2010 23:23 (thirteen years ago) link
Worship were great, but "mad" max committed suicide after the first album, so anything after just isn't the same.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 6 August 2010 23:24 (thirteen years ago) link
mordy wants more bm? it wouldnt be very kvlt if BM places!

Well I think they're all great but more or less interchangeable.
― Without warning, a wizard walks by. (Viceroy), Friday, 6 August 2010 23:43 (thirteen years ago) link
Venom - awesome, I prefer this one to Black Metal. For a band that were largely considered a complete joke at the time (by themselves too really) they sure as hell have been influential, I wonder what they think of the genres they spawned?
― A prog venn diagram for you to think about (Matt #2), Friday, 6 August 2010 23:43 (thirteen years ago) link
this has Bloodlust and 1000 Days in Sodom on it but Black Metal has Black Metal and Countess Bathory AND Buried Alive.

lol i know, from the album covers you expect grindgore but thats not what you get!
I'm looking forward to emil.ys artwork liveblogging hehe

I never cared for metal artwork tbh, call me false..

Yeah its like Suicide Doom, its great stuff!

Eddie works well actually. Whatever happened to Vic Rattlesnake?
its more sludge/doom but man they're great. One of my fave Grief albums didn't even get nominated :(
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 7 August 2010 00:02 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah its very sludgy I think they were on like a thrash/punk label for most of their releases.
― Half crazed with glory, half crazed in the heat! (Viceroy), Saturday, 7 August 2010 00:03 (thirteen years ago) link
I didn't even vote for Grief, they didn't survive the cull in my 250 album shortlist! So really pleased this placed.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 7 August 2010 00:04 (thirteen years ago) link
Vic Rattlesnakehead is still around, although he's not very menacing anymore.
