This man knows metal. It's gigantic, convulsive terror in the form of music.

That said, I'd rather listen to Pantera's Great Southern Trendkill or Metallica's Ride The Lightning or Tool's Lateralus than Old Man's Son or Cannibal Corpse or Mayhem.

But that's just me. I'm an aristocrat.

But damn, that sh*t is hardcore. Kinda goofy, in its own way, but damned hardcore.

If I still listened to metal (I don't really), I would make sure my list included Sabbath's "Paranoid" and at least one album by The Crown. That band is brutal.

Also, Reign in Blood and South of Heaven are definitely, definitely on the list.

And where's the Maiden? Come on.

So many semantics, so little time.

Kinda depends on what you categorize metal is, I guess.

I see alot of stuff in this thread that I wouldn't even classify as metal, nonetheless, here is my top 10, in no particular order.

Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast
Ozzy Osbourne - Diary of a Madman
Bruce Dickinson - Accident of Birth
Pantera - Cowboys from Hell
Deep Purple - Machine Head
Dio - Holy Diver
Iron Maiden - Live After Death
Megadeth - Rust in Peace
Metallica - Ride the Lighting
Black Label Society - 1918

I agree. 2112 is classic but not metal
