AC/DC.. worlds greatest rock band? How do ya figure?
I dunno if I'd personally agree with Hook_Up that AC/DC was THE greatest rock band of all time, but I'd have a hard time arguing against it, and definitely put them in the Top 10. The reasons seem rather obvious to me. Aren't they obvious to everybody else on the planet?
And what the fuck are post-pinnacle Megadeth and Anthrax albums doing here? Uh, hello - PEACE SELLS BUT WHO'S BUYING and... well... Anthrax didn't really put out any classic metal albums but AMONG THE LIVING can get an honorable mention if you've never heard RIDE THE LIGHTNING I suppose.
And is Kinski even metal? Quote from Kinski member Chris Martin:
" I think it's safe to say that none of us are influenced by metal at all -- or know anything about it...We're not even sure what Iron Maiden sounds like."
I mean, not to be condescending, but what the hell is wrong with you people?
seriously. I have heard only 2 of the albums listed, and have never even heard of most of the others.
yeah, Kinski isnt metal, but that new LP that is going to come out next month, definitley has some metal moments, but yeah not a metal band...they are takin' the piss a bit by sayin' "we dont know what iron maiden sounds like"..chalk one up in the "pretentious" collumn for them sayin dumb shit like that.
You must hear local Chicago Sludge Metal BURIED AT SEA. They fucking destroy shit.
I saw them a couple months ago, I truthfully gotta say , if you like that style check out YETI on life is abuse records, they really destroy shit...in fact I asked one of the guys in Buried if they liked Yeti(it was obvious to me me they were biting Yeti's style), and the Buried dude was a big Yeti fan. Buried could be good, but the keyboard/pedal/sampler dude needs to step his game up, kinda amatuerish IMO.
the latest Yeti record
the first one with founding member Doug Ferguson(who passed away a couple years ago) is awesome also...but I couldnt find a pic of it.

Sounds like The_Hook_Up "don't want no burial at sea."

whatever happened to Scott Reagers? I like him a lot better than Wino...but seems like dude fell of the face of the earth, maybe he was buried at sea...(slaps knees and chuckles)

Not being heavy into this shit, I can't say in the way of The Hook Up's opinion bout B.A.S., and I've never seen em live, but the first LP they released is fucking hard and dope to these ears. Hook Up, you ever heard "Behold! The Living Corpse"? Thats my brothers old band, they fuckin ruled too.
co-sing on Iron Maiden's Killers LP. Their original line-up always use to get overlooked and that is my fav from that time.
I think the 1st Slayer and 1st Metallica LPs should be on the list as well. Those were just mind blowing when they came out. No one had heard anything like that and really changed the whole scene. The funny thing was, people in the Bay Area loved Metallica and local act Exodus and would talk hella shit about Slayer because they wore spandex and had make-up on the back cover of their debut. Really though, now looking back, Slayer was the better band, but it was fun talking shit about them. Everyone eventually became friends and made nice.
later day sins ignored, this LP lit a fire under a lot of folks asses...RIP Cliff
Although placing "Reign In Blood" at #1 immediately validated your approach to this thread, and cuts you slack on other choices, it is a serious mistake to choose "Master" as the essential Metallica LP.
Just as "Reign In Blood" has it over the almost equally sick "South of Heaven," "Master of Puppets" must take a back seat to this bad boy:
co-sign on Chaos A.D., Bathory...
For Iron Maiden I gotta go with:
Cause they are a live band beyond all else.
Can I add:
and
and one of my absolute favorites of all time:
And an honorable mention for this EP, not for the cheesy rap-rock title track, but for the blazing cover of "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath":

All Melvins albums are great, but you cannot deny your first. I think I'm going to cry now.
