Tool - Lateralus(11. Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast) Okay, not very varied and predictable... But I guess that's what all all-time lists are like. Power Metal within the top 500 metal albums: 75. Helloween - Keeper of the Seven Keys Part II78. Blind Guardian - Imaginations from the Other Side 101. Helloween - Keeper of the Seven Keys Part I140.

Running Wild - Pile of Skulls492. Wintersun - Wintersun Surprised Stratovarius's "Visions" didn't make the cut. Guess Sad Wings Of Destiny isn't considered metal after all..... very weird that tool and opeth beat it but those bands are more popular than that priest record. even though it is the best priest and beats most of the list, and definitely beats all those power metal albums Sad Wings ranks at 35.

Segue Myles Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 mr. isnot, you don't like iced earth, helloween, gamma ray, running wild, jag panzer or riot but power metal's the only genre of metal you'll tolerate? EDIT: my bad, I forgot dream theater. My taste in metal is really limited. I do enjoy some Helloween (Halloween), Gamma Ray (lust for life), but I can't say I've listened to their albums much. I haven't heard much of Jag Panzer or Riot. For these four bands, I cannot say I dislike the bands whatsoever, I just haven't listened to them much. At worst I'm just not interested. I do not like Iced Earth, chalk that up to the vocals. The s I added to the power metal album listings really indicate that they're albums I enjoy listening through more than anything else. I definitely do not consider myself a metal head, or a fan of metal. Just a rock guy.Angra, Blind Guardian, Deep Purple, Dream Theater, Iron Maiden, Rhapsody, Sonata Arctica, Stratovarius... That's about the extent of my plebeian metal taste (though I'm sure I'll kick myself later for overlooking 2 or 3 bands) Well done. Couldn't argue this point better! ...Nightwish sucks :madra: Nightwish have their epic moments of pure awesome...and some really naff stuff that does little for me, but gives my Stereo good reason for having an Off button!

Rick N. Backer Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I think if you take the good songs on blizzard and diary you have a great album. you take all his good songs after that and put em on a disc and you have a nice EP. If you take all the great songs on Blizzard and Diary you have 2 great albums. Blizzard. And Diary. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMCXII Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 as soon as I saw the list I knew everyone would jump on ACDC. I actually don't consider them as metal either but funny thing is, I can't explain why !?! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSHHEAD666 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Lacuna Coil sounds like some sort of birth control device. LOL!!! I've tried many times to get into that band. Pure boring same old heavy riff crap with synthesizers that will pierce your eardrums. All of those female lead singing metal "blands" sound the same. Night Wish comes to mind as well. UGH! Give me Girlschool or The Runaways instead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I love Lacuna Coil. So there. As for not getting into LC, I completely understand why one would really dislike their sound, but I just love them to death. As for Nightwish, they are only their because I couldn't think of any other band! I used to love metal. Nowadays I really don't. My list proves that haha!

greg2112 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Good list, but think Slayer and Pantera are too high. While I like AC/DC more than every band listed with the exception of Sabbath and Maiden, I agree theyre not metal. My Top 5: 1)Sabbath2)Maiden3)Metallica 4)Priest5)Megadeth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
