Union 5-3992 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) I loved the 500 albums topic we made last year and I figured why not apply it to hard rock and heavy metal? Stealing the idea from ReRushed who stole it from another forum: 1) One album per post 2) A TRF member can only post an album every 10 picks (or every 5 if it grows stagnant) 3) Please cut and paste as you post 4) Please give a brief reason beneath your pick as to why you're choosing that particular album. That way it'll be a little more than just a huge list thread. Edited April 1, 2016 by Union 5-3992 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union 5-3992 Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) 1. Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath Might as well get some of the obvious choices out of the way. Why not begin the list with one of the very first metal albums. You could probably argue it's just hard rock now, but it is still a fantastic record Edited April 1, 2016 by Union 5-3992 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) 2) Mastodon- Blood Mountain It is crazy and twisted and one of my favourite prog metal albums of all time. Edited April 1, 2016 by Segue Myles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) 2. Iron Maiden - Number Of The Beast It's far from my favorite Maiden album (everything that followed it up to Seventh Son is better IMO, as well as about half the 21st century stuff) but this album is so important in the history of heavy metal. Plenty of headbangers like 22 Acacia Avenue, the title track, or Invaders. Emotive metal ballad in Children Of The Damned, and one of the greatest metal masterpieces ever crafted in Hallowed By Thy Name. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBtLMLQfiRo Edited April 2, 2016 by BowlCity 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Cub Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 4. Def Leppard - Pyromania Argue whether you think it's a metal album. I think it is. The pinnacle of Lep's career with songs like Photograph or Rock of Ages, as well as some real treats like Die Hard The Hunter. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) 1. Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath2. Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast3. Mastodon - Blood Mountain4. Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind5. Def Leppard - Pyromania 6. Michael Schenker Group - The Michael Schenker Group A solid debut for the ex-UFO guitarist. Top notch riff driven guitar. And a kick ass instrumental - "Into the Arena".

J2112YYZ Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 7. Megadeth - Rust In Peace The pinnacle of thrash metal for me. Some of the most insane, yet technically proficient guitar work ever recorded. Dave Mustaine's angry snarl is my favorite pissed off singing style in metal. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Cub Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Metallica - Ride The Lightning This or Master of Puppets, though I argue Ride The Lightning because it covers a wider variety of styles, including the one that led to Puppets. Creeping Death, Fade To Black, the title track, For Whom The Bell Tolls. Cliff Burton shredding the bass! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 4. Def Leppard - Pyromania Argue whether you think it's a metal album. I think it is. The pinnacle of Lep's career with songs like Photograph or Rock of Ages, as well as some real treats like Die Hard The Hunter. I never thought of it as a full on metal album. There are some songs that certainly can be considered that like Stagefright, Too Late For Love and Die Hard The Hunter. I always thought of it as a hard rock album though.

Judas Priest - Painkiller (djflex)12. Opeth - Blackwater Park (Union 5-3992) Truly one of the best progressive metal albums made, I'd put it above almost everything Dream Theater has made. Most of the album are all huge concert hits for Opeth, it's like their Moving PIctures. Plus it features the Leper Affinity which I find one of the most evil sounding songs, it's the album that opened the door for me to start listening to music this heavy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
