and just for kicks  

16 members have voted

  1. 1. is Rush metal?



Recommended Posts

So this will work a lot like the "TRF's favorite band that isn't Rush" thread from a while back. Everyone list have UP TO ELEVEN albums which they feel belong on a list of the greatest 100 metal albums ever. Define metal however you like, but know that if your choice proves controversial, you will have to defend your faith in your "metal". And please, if anyone upsets you or you upset anyone, no screaming for vengeance. ;)

 

As often as I can I'll post an updated tally listing each album that has been nominated and how many times it has been nominated. In probably about a week or so I'll take the top 100 albums with the most nominations, and make a poll out of them in a new thread to see which one is the definite winner, though a ranking by number of nominations will be posted with it. Hopefully we actually get up to 100 albums, lol.

 

Being a newcomer into the world of metal, my list may seem fairly, erm... generic, but here it is in a very rough order (expected to change often over the next few years):

 

Rust In Peace - Megadeth

Stained Class - Judas Priest

The Number Of The Beast - Iron Maiden

Paranoid - Black Sabbath

Sad Wings Of Destiny - Judas Priest

Among the Living - Anthrax

Screaming For Vengeance - Judas Priest

Master Of Puppets - Metallica

Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath - Black Sabbath

Master Of Reality - Black Sabbath

...And Justice For All - Metallica

 

 

Honorable mentions:

Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime

Dream Theater - A Dramatic Turn Of Events; Images And Words

Rush - 2112 (if your really want to count it, I still say the attitude isn't quite metal)

Anthrax - Spreading The Disease

Metallica - Ride The Lightning

Judas Priest - British Steel

Black Sabbath - Paranoid

Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell

Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast

Iron Maiden - Killers

Judas Priest - Screaming for Vengeance

AC/DC - Back in Black

Ozzy - Blizzard of Ozz

Ozzy - Diary of a Madman

Dio - Holy Diver

Def Leppard - Pyromania

Van Halen - Fair Warning

 

Aurally, Back in Black and Fair Warning are metal albums. They are credibly heavier, and more aggressive, than anything released by any of the Cookie Monster singing "Kill Your Mother," while the musicians all race to the end of the song bands ever dreamed of being. Better songs by miles, too.
