Looking at the top ten list of metal from 1974, I couldn't believe you only listed 6 albums, and none of them were Fly To The rainbow, where Uli Jon Roth truly ripped. This inspired me to list, although a lot of their music I more often than not think is a pop sellout or just not really that metal and I really do enjoy the Humanity album more than I've liked most of their stuff since like World Wide Live, the deserving top 6 for giving credit where credit is due.

1.Scorpions - Fly To The Rainbow

2.Scorpions - Virgin Killer

3.Scorpions - Taken By Force

4.Scorpions - Animal Magnetism

5.Scorpions - Love At First Sting
