Best sounding Hard Rock

Though it is not the main genre I listen to these days, I cut my teeth on the hard rock of the 70's and 80's.

I still like a good sesh of RTFOing, so it is with great delight that today I purchased Queens Of The Stoneage's Lullabies To Paralyze on vinyl.  The sound is beyond the pale.  It's a Music On Vinyl reissue, and is unbelievably quiet and smooth in tracking.  I am a fan of QOTSA but have never heard this album quite like this until now.

What are your picks for great sounding hard rock or metal?  My first preference is vinyl but this is by no means a requirement in your recommendations.

How good are AC/DC albums? They are about the only band which could be considered Hard Rock (though I consider them a Rock 'n' Roll band) I like enough to own music of, and I listen to them only in the car---great driving music!

You might look into the band Highly Suspect. Don’t watch the YouTube videos because it will totally skew your perception if you see the band. Some of the music has classic tones. Look them up on hdtracks.

That's how you can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars.
I am sure I would listen to most of this stuff once and some of it maybe more.But I am not going to buy any. That's why we need audio clubs and open reel decks.
