Introducing albums

Albums that can introduce you to a whole new genre or artist
1Rush
Moving Pictures


Great way to start. Accessable, techinal, good.
2Wishbone Ash
Argus


Rocking album. Great blend of hard rock, blues rock and prog rock.
3Black Sabbath
Paranoid


Many people associate the genre heavy metal with trash metal and speed metal. What they don't realize is that it's not heavy. Perhaps Sabbath's greatest achievement after Master of Reality, a great way to start an amazing discography.
4Camel
Camel


Some might recommend Mirage as a starting point, but the song lengths and complexity can be hard for some to digest.
5Santana
Abraxas


Just plain awesome. Nice fusion of chicano rock, spanish rock, psychedelic and hard rock. Overall very good album.
6Queen
Queen II


Even though "A Night at the Opera" is considered Queen's greatest release, many, including me, would promote their second release as their best. A great way to start with cool songs like "Ogre Battle" and "Father to Son".
7The Alan Parsons Project
Eye in the Sky


What can I say? Just give it a listen, will ya?
8Rainbow
Rising


Including Deep Purple's Ritchie Blackmore and at the time unknown Ronny James Dio, the pair release a monster of a record. All tracks have something to give, though some more than others. The only flaw of the album is its short length.
9Rusted Root
Remember


Now this is a gem! Music that's not very my kind, but surprisingly something that enchants me. The vocalist is very original. Songs ranging from strange jam rock, rocking riffs and calm acoustic passages.
10She
Coloris


Very good album. Electronic music with very nice beats and mellow mood. The reason I like this is because it's quite diverse and not reptetive.
