Favourites mean I have to have everything. Boots and all. This is not well.

Led Zeppelin
Jimi Hendrix
Black Sabbath / Heaven And Hell
Deep Purple
Blue Oyster Cult
Rainbow
Gillan (not IGB, ok but not quite...)
UFO (Schencker years)
Scorpions
Aerosmith
Jeff Beck Group
Cream


The bands /artists where I like 'em but want the one stop shop / great anthology, best of or best album. I like 'em but I don't Led Zeppelin like them.

High Tide (lucky the bonus tracks on that appear and make it half-listenable, if only everyone had good production).
Andromeda
Golden Earring
Michael Schencker (outside UFO...a few albums)
Foghat
Kiss (a custom CD does that)
Budgie
Groundhogs (yes they cover lots of musical ground - they'd be up top but I never managed to replace the lps with cds...
Judas Priest
Nazareth
Boston
Whitesnake (78 - 82)
Uriah Heep (first 6 and the Pete Goalby era) Still any album Mick Box appears on is worth it for his inclusion.
Ozzy. (The Diary legacy edition is enough for me).

I would not include the Stones here as to me they are not a hard rock band as such. Otherwise I would. Plus it seems odd to not have Rush in there so here they are.

Oh and  the greatest funny band of all.

Bad News.

In alphabetical order and considering their 70s work:


AC/DC

Deep Purple

Godz

KISS

Rainbow

Rush

Scorpions

Styx

UFO

Uriah Heep


Important note: I don't consider Led Zeppelin, Queen hard rock despite the fact that they’ve written hard rock songs. Also, Black Sabbath metal.

No particular order-

UFO
Blue Oyster Cult
Judas Priest
Nazareth
Frank Marino Mahogany Rush
Thin Lizzy
Budgie
Scorpions
Montrose
Early Van Halen

Zep and the Sabs plus first 2 Rush lps are of course top notch as are Free, the Faces, Wishbone Ash, Groundhogs, Motorhead, Hawkwind, Pink faries etc etc but despite that they are 'rockin' they just outside of the 'classic 70's hard rock' tag in my view.. something harder or softer or bluesier or more diverse..

Sticking with the nothing later than late 70s start and no NWOBHM criteria of the OP...and nothing proggy I assume (so I leave Rush to one side on this thread) or not consistently rockin' (so I leave out Steely Dan etc.), my ten would be...

Led Zeppelin
Deep Purple
Black Sabbath
The Who
Free
Rory Gallagher
UFO
Wishbone Ash
Thin Lizzy
AC/DC
