There are the bands you expect to see like Foo Fighters, Papa Roach, Marilyn Manson, Stone Sour, Seether, Queens of the Stone Age and In This Moment, who have been dominating radio over the last few years and continue to do so with fresh, stellar new offerings that continue to raise the bar and push them to new heights.

So head below as we revisit the year that was and count down the 25 Best Hard Rock Albums of 2017.

Okay, The White Stripes is another one that I find hard to rate while I do enjoy their music they are a really good solid rock band I find it actually really hard to listen to more than a few songs of theirs in a row. So while I do like the album I can't really listen to it all in one sitting, instead, I like to throw it into a playlist to break it up.

Whole Lotta Rosie by AC/DC

(0 Ratings)

Track

"There are two versions of this that I’m aware of – if you don’t include Atlantic sessions and stuff like that. There’s the version on Let There Be Rock and the version that’s on this live album. And the one on If You Want Blood You’ve Got It is the definitive, mega version, because of the audience. Part of the beauty of the recording is the audience’s contribution to it. It’s hard to tell how much of it is a sound effect of a crowd added afterwards, but when they’re going ‘Angus! Angus!’ it’s hard to not suspend disbelief and really enjoy it for what it is – a great rock moment."

"I know, I know… indie cred is now out the window. But what can I say? Mark and I saw this film at Christmas 1994 in a movie theater, and I laughed so hard I sweat out 5 lbs of water weight and got rock hard abs in the process. We took a camping road trip to the mountains and almost froze to death because of it. I’ve seen it probably 20-plus times and it just makes me so happy every time."

"The most influential rock film ever made (A Hard Day’s Night is probably second). It’s more than thirty years old, but it’s still the default reference for every rock group with a sense of humor (even if none of the band members were alive when it was originally released). It somehow has more cultural sticking power than most of the music it satirizes. There’s never been a real documentary about a real band that captures the nature of heavy rock as deftly as this unreal documentary about a fake band."

Party
Simple but incredibly effective bouncy rock music with a piano or keyboard as the main instrument. Happy and raucous.
The lead single (Party Hard) was a huge hit and rocked like an out of control party BUT the album tracks all sound so similar that they blur into one. It's a shame because it's a hell of a trick making the piano into a rock instrument again.

his album is one of the most refreshing and dignified hard rock records in some time and deserves to be listened to as such. More than just a super-group, Art of Anarchy have given the best of themselves

Concrete and Gold is an apt title. The hard rock is still there but finally there’s a bit of a shimmer and glow, something the band absolutely needed lest they continue treading water. It’s a career-capper as unexpected as it is welcome.
Critic- Chris Gerard
Original Score: 8 out of 10

Rolling Stone's 243rd greatest album of all time
Superb hard rock/blues album. Whether or not they were the first heavy metal band is irrelevant, the songs here are fantastic. Includes the self-titled song, the brilliant NIB and my favourite Sabbath song - Warning - as close to a heavy version of The Beach Boys' God Only Knows as we're likely to see.
