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

The Cat 3

32. Motörhead - Ace of Spades   Because it is f$&@*^%g Motörhead "Ace of Spades".

122. Judas Priest - Screaming for Vengeance   Sure, people can hate it because it was popular. It was popular because it's unbelievable.

26. Iced Earth - Burnt Offerings (J2112YYZ)

 

Heavy, dark, angry, 16 minute epic based on the story in Dante's Inferno. It doesn't get more metal than this.

27. Britney Spears- Femme Fatale

 

This dark and brooding black metal masterpiece introduced me to the bitter and pain of life. Against all my senses of right and wrong it lured me into the black and doomy depths of the nether regions of fear and it never let me go.

 

I sold my soul and now all I can do is cry blood and sweat petrol as the flames of my sulphuric fury infect my everything.

 

Metal to its darkest, dankest and most foul heart.

 

Prepare to become at war with yourself.

 

You will lose your mind to the heart of evil.

28. Katatonia - Last Fair Deal Gone Down

 

Once stated at the time of its release by their record label, Peaceville Records to be the greatest album ever to have been released on their label, this album is my favorite Katatonia release and rightfully so I call this their Blackwater Park (ironic since both albums were released in 2001). IMO, Last Fair Deal Gone Down solidified the band's relevance/importance in the metal genre. This album took what the band solidified on their previous album Tonight's Decision when they went full on goth/alternative metal and upped the songwriting and musicianship a notch. It also brought along with it a bit of some pop rock-esque verse-chorus sensibility in some of the songs. The end result was one of their strongest statements for an album, and for me, when coming up with a list for their greatest songs, a lot of it comes from this album alone. To this day, Teargas remains their most popular and signature song and for good reason cause it's honestly a really good song.

30 Manowar - Battle Hymns (laughedatbytime)

 

31. Blind Guardian - A Night At The Opera

 

BG's best, and an important album that marries power metal and progressive metal. Even though it caused their old drummer to quit as a result of their direction, it sounds quite unique because of the drum style mixed with the way the other instruments are played.
