Judas Priest "Sad Wings of Destiny"the first 100% pure metal masterpiece, metal by design3.
Iron Maiden "Killers"tough to call on the best maiden LP ever, but this one has it all...one of the best ever, thats for sure4.
Motorhead "overkill"lemmy's finest moment and you cant have a metal list without him...killer fucking LP5..
Black Sabbath "master of reality"see other thread...6.
Metallica "Mater of Puppets"later day sins ignored, this LP lit a fire under a lot of folks asses...RIP Cliff7.
Scorpions "Fly to the Rainbow"an over-looked metal masterpiece...Uli Jon Roth should get more props, he invented metal shredding, but he had more taste and grit than a thousand Yngwies8.
AC/DC "let there be rock"the world's greatest rock band records one of the greatest metal LPs, this is heavy yo.9.
Celtic Frost "Morbid Tales"one of the heaviest LPs ever, responsible for damn near every scandinavian black metal band, they re-wrote the book10.

RESPECT
The only Melvins album I (will ever need to) own.
Picked this up alittle while back..
This is not the greatest album ...but the first two song are heaters
Anyone heard this...It's not traditional metal but damn it's good
COSIGN
I got an advance promo for their new LP due out next month and it is great
I left this one out...put it at a tie with "Let there be rock", the world's second best rock band record a metal masterpiece
cosign on the Sleep..dont forget High on Fire, or Al Cisnero's new band OM...
What about, "Take No Prisoners" and "Five Magics"?
Shit sandwich.
Incase you didnt know, maybe you forgot, or would like to remember...
Mercyful Fate "The Oath" mp3
KISS THE FUCKING GOAT!!!!!!!
propaganda....
-- Accept: Metal Heart
-- Black Sabbath: first six, maybe Heaven and Hell and Mob Tules
-- Megadeth: Peace Sells (they went weak and corny after this thrash masterpiece)
-- Celtic Frost: To Mega Therion (the sound of continental plates shifting, creams their other LPs)
-- Death: Scream Bloody Gore (good death metal)
-- Exodus: Bonded by Blood (poser-killing techno-thrash)
-- Slayer: first four
-- Hellhammer: Apocalyptic Raids (insane)
-- Iron Maiden: first five, Dickinson entered vibrato hell after
-- Judas Priest: everything up to Defenders of the Faith
-- Mercyful Fate: first two
-- Metal Church: 1st LP had some cool shit
-- Metallica: everything w/ Cliff
-- Mot??rhead: everything w/ Fast Eddie
-- Ozzy: first two
-- Saint Vitus: Hallow's Victim: some heavy shit on here
-- Tad: Salt Lick (probably grunge really but tastes like metal)
-- UFO: Strangers in the Night (classic live, not 100% but solid)
-- Voivod: Dimension Hatross
DUDE!
Get it together man!!!
And when anyone is ready to have their face ripped off Carolina-style, how about this one by our local legends who used to blast RUN-DMC's RAISING HELL at earth-shattering volumes in their tour van prior to recording this classic:
yeah, I am fully aware of the difference between hard rock and metal, hence my caveat on the ac/dc and van halen LPs...rock bands that happened to record a couple of GREAT metal albums...but yeah they were hard rock bands...black sabbath was a hard rock band, not a metal band..a point that some people have a hard time swallowing, Black Sabbath was not a heavy metal band...
true...true! I had a hard time leaving them off the top 11, that LP is awesome, one of my favorites for sure...by the way I got doubles of it(not of the white vinyl though, the double is none more black)
C.O.C. yes!!!!!! my first hardcore/club show was C.O.C. and St. Vitus
I respectfully disagree...they were still on some hippy steez lyric-wise even up until "Master" and "Sabbath Bloody.."...hard rock.
A couple of other jawns you may consider thrash...
Plus early Suicidal and some other earlier Anthrax
cause it has all the elements...simple, three chord songs, loud, rockin' as a mother fucker, memorable songs/anthems, been doin it the same way for over 30 years...they are a denim jacket in musical form...and the most important aspect of a killer rock band...you feel better after you hear/see them than before you have.
Forced Entry! Mount Lake Terrace, WA Holla! Saw these guys live more times than I can remember and drank A LOT of beer with these dudes. Good people.
