    These are METAL (not hard rock...two different things):

    -- 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

    Er*c, Er*c, ER*C!!!

    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

    Sabbath's first was proto-metal, super-heavy evil blues w/ a period psychy fragrance, but by Paranoid there were metal.

    I respectfully disagree...they were still on some hippy steez lyric-wise even up until "Master" and "Sabbath Bloody.."...hard rock.

    seriously. I have heard only 2 of the albums listed, and have never even heard of most of the others.

  • mrpekmrpek 627 Posts


    A couple of other jawns you may consider thrash...
    Plus early Suicidal and some other earlier Anthrax

    AC/DC.. worlds greatest rock band? How do ya figure?

    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.
