Yo voy a hacer una lista similar pero de momento de Heavy Metal:
Para empezar, como no, tengo que nombrar a los que son para mí los 4 precursores del Heavy Metal.
- Truth – Jeff Beck (1968)
- The White Album – Beatles (1968) –por cierto, lo tengo que comentar aún con guille, menuda maravilla-
- Led Zeppelin – led Zeppelin (1969)
- In the Court of the Crimson King – King Krimson (1969)
A partir de aquí se crea un precedente histórico sobre la distorsión y la contundencia a la hora de tocar que antes no se había puesto a la práctica.
Luego, a modo de entender el resto de las décadas y a mi ver, discos que encuentro imprescindibles, aunque me debo de dejar bastantes, pues:
