Decided to go year by year and do the top ten metal albums by each year. My only rules are the album has to have at least 2000 ratings. If it's a live or archival album, I will add an extra album to that year's list.For the 1970's, I can only do a few because there wasn't ten albums each year. So think of this as a top 25 metal albums of the 1970's.1970:Paranoid - Black SabbathBlack Sabbath - Black SabbathDeep Purple in Rock - Deep PurpleKingdom Come - Sir Lord Baltimore1971:Master of Reality - Black SabbathBudgie - Budgie1972:Black Sabbath Vol. 4 - Black SabbathSquawk - Budgie1973:Sabbath Bloody Sabbath - Black SabbathNever Turn Your Back on a Friend - BudgieVolcanic Rock - Buffalo1974:In for the Kill! - Budgie1975:Sabotage - Black Sabbath1976:Rising - RainbowSad Wings of Destiny - Judas Priest1977:Sin After Sin - Judas PriestMotörhead - Motörhead1978:Stained Class - Judas PriestLong Live Rock 'n' Roll - RainbowTaken by Force - ScorpionsKilling Machine - Judas Priest1979:Unleashed in the East: Live in Japan - Judas PriestOverkill - MotörheadBomber - MotörheadLovedrive - Scorpions
