Emerson, Lake, and Palmer - Tarkus (1971)

ZZ Top - Tres Hombres (1973)

Motörhead - Ace Of Spades (1980)

In honor of the recent death of Lemmy Kilmister I've decided to jump ahead on my list  and review an album by Lemmy's band Motörhead, namely Ace Of Spades. I know a few people who are huge Motörhead fans, but I'm not sure I can name a single song by the band. All I'm hoping for is this to be either seriously good heavy metal music in the vein of Led Zeppelin or Iron Maiden, and hopefully not ridiculous trash a la Megadeth.

KISS - Destroyer (1976)

I'm not expecting this to be actually good, but it's still going to be a welcome listen. It's been too long since I've heard legitimate cheesy 70s rock. In my opinion KISS is a band that has a reputation that far exceeds its worth. Well, that's a mean thing to say, as any band has some worth if people like their music. It's just that KISS appears to have a huge following and image in pop culture without really making as huge of an impact with their music.

Black Sabbath - Vol. 4 (1972)

I haven't listened to a lot of Black Sabbath in my life. I suppose I should correct that. They are considered one of the progenitors of heavy metal along with Led Zeppelin, my favorite band. We'll see how they compare, and I'll try to be as objective as possible.
