Entre_Perpetuo Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Similar to Segue's recent thread, but probably way harder, lol. I'll see if I can figure something out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtron Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Limiting myself to one album per band otherwise my list would be mostly Sabbath.

bluefox4000 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 (edited) Mine will probably be the most basic stuff and this time not really in order. and i'm gonna double up on bands.....cause this is hard. harder still cause not a metalhead at heart. also some albums are from bands not on my fav bands list. 1. Scenes From A Memory. 2. Master of Puppets 3. Rising (i didn't mention Rainbow in my fav bands but this one's a monster) 4. Killing Machine 5. Images and Words 6. Holy Diver 7. Crack The Skye 8. Dirt 9. Screaming for Vengeance 10. Piece of Mind Again you asked a lot and it's probably not accurate and if you asked me for 100 fav albums i'm betting not even half would be metal (some might based on your criteria) THIS WAS HARD!!!!! i had Paranid but switched it out for Dio's Holy Diver BTW.

Entre_Perpetuo Posted July 11, 2022 Author Share Posted July 11, 2022 This was hard. I made a playlist of the opening track from roughly every metal album on my iPod (figuring I probably already own my top 10), and carefully arranged them from favorite to least favorite as well as I could manage. I could list all of them out in order, but that would take a while. So here's the top 10, plus the next 20 just cuz that's interesting to me. Side note, while I did go ahead and include some Grunge by the way of Soundgarden and AiC in my entire list, I left out the likes of Deep Purple and BOC and Rush and Queen and King Crimson, all of whom have albums which could probably qualify as metal, but generally that's just not where I see them. Zeppelin I think rarely touches metal (certainly not for a whole album). Sabbath are the first proper metal band in my book. I also included 80s pop/hair metal, but excluded Van Halen as they were really their own unique animal, which could easily do metal (heavy or hair) when they wanted, but didn't really do that as a main gig. 1. Soundgarden - Superunknown 2. Dream Theater - Awake 3. Megadeth - Rust In Peace 4. Judas Priest - Stained Class 5. Megadeth - Countdown To Extinction 6. Judas Priest - Screaming For Vengeance 7. Dream Theater - Metropolis: Part 2. Scenes From A Memory 8. Def Leppard - Pyromania 9. Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger 10. Dream Theater - Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence I really surprised myself with Superunknown beating out even my favorite DT album, something I expected to take the gold for me easily so long as Rust In Peace didn't beat it. Anyway here's what the next 20 looked like: 11. Iron Maiden - Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son 12. Dream Theater - A Dramatic Turn Of Events 13. Dream Theater - Distance Over Time 14. Dream Theater - Images And Words 15. Mastodon - Hushed And Grim 16. Black Sabbath - Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath 17. Black Sabbath - Master Of Reality 18. Black Sabbath - Paranoid 19. Iron Maiden - Powerslave 20. Judas Priest - Firepower 21. Metallica - ...And Justice For All 22. Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory 23. Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast 24. Judas Priest - Sad Wings Of Destiny 25. Caligula's Horse - Bloom 26. Anthrax - Persistence Of Time 27. Anthrax - Among The Living 28. Metallica - Master Of Puppets 29. System Of A Down - Mezmerize 30. Deftones - Around The Fur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepphead Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Judas Priest - Stained Class (although Sad Wings Of Destiny runs it close) Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (or Master of Reality ) Dio - Holy Diver Iron Maiden - Powerslave (or Seventh Son) Opeth - Blackwater Park (or Ghost Reveries) Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt 2 (or Six Degrees) Slayer - Reign In Blood Savatage - Hall Of The Mountain King (or Gutter Ballet) Motorhead - Ace Of Spades Mastodon - Crack The Skye I've kept it to one entry per band and limited it to what I reckon to be out and out metal bands rather than those which I would classify as hard/classic rock bands. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I stayed away from bands that often get called "hard rock," too. I'm not sure how much that would have changed my list. Pyromania and Back in Black probably force out Defenders of the Faith and Mob Rules. Maybe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tangy Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) In my eyes most bands are truly metal for only a few records. Something more metal comes about. That which was once metal sometimes becomes mainstream. Rush- ATWAS Megadeth-sfsgsw Megadeth-peace sells Pantera- far beyond driven Between the buried and me- colors & the great misdirect Black sabbath- Paranoid Mastodon-blood mountain Dream theater- images and words Buckethead- the cuckoo clocks of hell Animals as leaders - AAL Edited July 14, 2022 by tangy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
