42. "LIVE ALBUM" --GRAND FUNK, 1970
"Grand fun was in their day one of the least talented bands to ever sign a record contract. But they were terrific at making a lot of heavy, loud, distorted noise with plenty of passion and sincerity, if not much tunefulness. With its bare budget, raw-to-the-bone sound, Live Album could only have been recorded in 1971. In its own way, it still holds up."
(So how come the reviewer says it was recorded in 1971, when at the top it says 1970? :confused: I am quoting this article verbatim.)
43. ''THE RAMONES" --THE RAMONES, 1976
"Faster than a speeding bullet and more powerful than a locomotive, these speed-punk pioneers begat both the Sex Pistols
and Megadeth. Johnny Ramone proved it possible to rattle off 50 barre chords faster than you can say 'Yngwie Malmsteen.'"
44. "HEAVEN AND HELL" --BLACK SABBATH, 1980
"The final word to anyone who thought Black Sabbath were washed up after Ozzy split. Tony Iommi rarely sounded or played better; he is the true Iron Man of metal."
