Show us, Anthony. Show us all how rock hard you are. Now.

[ambitious]

What am I supposed to do about that, Anthony?

My Dad was lucky enough to see ACDC in a small Melbourne pub in the 70s. Angus Young was jumping on tables, running around with his wireless guitar which blew my Dad's mind. He also got to meet Bon Scott, who was drunk enough that my Dad couldn't understand a word he said.

Never clicked on one of your videos faster

Fantano, we need you to step in and run for president

Personally I’d add Deep Purple’s Machine Head to this list, that sound (along with Led Zeppelin) is like the epitome of hard rock to me

[cajflod]

“In Rock” by Deep Purple is the quintessential hard rock album for me. I’m surprise it wasn’t in that list, but overall it’s a good list.

[grogu]

Omg YESSS! Always a good day when Antoine talks about any rock, metal, punk, etc. Powerage and Overkill in particular are some of my all time fav albums 🤘❤️

[EatTheRich]

Thin Lizzy's Live and Dangerous stays criminally underrated.

I've always been more of a Dirty Deeds fan myself, but I'm still glad to see you give some love to Bon Scott era AC/DC. Their 70's output is PURE HEAT! (Down Payment Blues is dope!)

A 70’s hard rock list with no Deep Purple is WILD.

[antlerbraum]

I’ve always thought that calling a vast number of rock sub genres “classic rock” was a disservice to people and sort of stereotypes it all as “dad music”. I mean of course dads listen to this stuff but there’s so much good rock music.

[damiankarras]

That Black Sabbath album was recorded live in 2 days.

[nicolocavallo]

This is by far my favourite type of videos. I’m glad they’re back ❤

[AlexPinage]

Great video. I always cringe when people dismiss older music as just dad rock, dad rap, or whatever.

Getting to know the rawness that inspired the current artists then and now is great.

[HONESTY]

When he said "recorded in draculas cave" I heard "Ejacula's cave"... and now I know what to title my first adult film direction project.

[JeorgeKostanza]

So glad to see Powerage ends up here. My favorite AC/DC album by far. Riff Raff is just incredible.

Other recs for anyone looking:

MC5 - Kick Out the Jams:

Yeah, it missed the 1970s cut by a year, but the energy and aggression on display is undeniable. If you're gonna only check out one track, make it Rocket Reducer No 62.

Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak

You could go with any Thin Lizzy album from 1975 to 1979 (including another great live album Live and Dangerous). But Jailbreak has the hits, the hard rock power and top notch songwriting.

Night Sun - Mournin

This is the deep cut if you wanna check out something weird. It's probably one of the most metal-sounding albums by someone not named Black Sabbath at the time. It's heavy, groovy, proggy and insane that it was written and recorded in 1972.

[Hopesfallout]

Excellent picks! But this list needed some Deep Purple/Rainbow and Uriah Heep.

[GoricaNikolin]

I appreciate this topic so much, finally content about hard rock. Thank you.
