Black sabbath- Master of Reality

Black Sabbath- Volume 4

Judas Priest - British Steel

Metallica - Ride the Lightning

Slayer- Reighn in Blood

Iron Maiden - Number of The Beast

Van Halen - Van Halen

Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power

Motörhead - Ace of Spades

Ac/ Dc - Back in Black

 

 

I consider these the genre defining albums. And no Metal fan should be without .

The only ones I don't have are the Pantera and Metallica. I never did understand the fuss about Metallica and Pantera never really grabbed me either...

 

Pantera waved the flag for Metal during that early to mid 90s alternative explosion. Even though Metal never went away, by 1990 bands like Bullet Boys were considered Metal, and Pantera gave the scene a good kick in the ass, plus they had a sort of hardcore vibe with Phil at the mic.

 

Metallica defined 80s thrash, wether you like them or not, they jump started a whole scene. And those first 4 albums rock.

Flick of the switch was another great one, the top 2 Johnson albums, Fly on the wall and Flick of the switch, after black in black, these 2 prove they still have it. Fly on the wall was

much heavier sounding than Flick, songs like Danger, fly on the wall, sake your foundations, sink the pink just yelled metal. Plus that was my 3 concert I ever went to, and the loudest

show I ever heard, The stage show was the bell , 2 cannons and the band, and a big fan behind them, and listened today to flick of the switch , just love this house is on fire, nervous

shakedown, bedlam in Belgium and of course flick of the switch and rising power.

I'm leaving out hard rock titans like Van Halen, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, early Rush, KISS and some others, because Heavy Metal became more defined as a genre with the NWOBHM, leaving the formerly mentioned more or less cousins to true metal. They were rightly referred to as 'heavy metal' in the 70's, but now its debatable. Here's my list...

 

1. Master Of Puppets—Metallica

2. Reign In Blood—Slayer

3. Number Of The Beast—Iron Maiden

4. Blizzard Of Ozz—Ozzy

5. Ride The Lightning—Metallica

6. Paranoid—Black Sabbath

7. Master Of Reality—Black Sabbath

8. Shout At The Devil—Motley Crue

9. Peace Sells—Megadeth

10. Tempo Of The Damned—Exodus

 

Crap, I had to leave out some good ones.

Are you familiar with Fu Manchu? I would classify them as stoner Metal.

 

Great list.

They opened for Def Leppard on the Pyromania tour. They were supporting Headhunter. Not a great band, but a good one. Entertaining live show.
