Top Ten Heavy Metal Albums of All Time

[TimTimSalabim]

Rush is too good to be considered alongside this crap. (Go ahead, flame me!)

1. Appetite for Destruction - Guns and Roses
2. Highway to Hell - AC/DC
3. Heaven and Hell - Black Sabbath (Flame away but, at a time when metal was in a lull in the late 70's, this is one of the albums that kicked it back into high gear)
4. Blizzard of OZ- Ozzy Osbourne (with the late great Randy Rhodes)
5. Montrose - by Montrose with a 17 year old Sammy Hagar on Lead vocals.
6. Ace of Spades - Motorhead. The best gambling heavy metal song ever. "We want to be the type of band that if we move in next door to you, your grass dies." Lemmy.
7. Any of Led Zeppelins first three albums.
8. British Steel - Judas Priest
9. Paranoid - Black Sabbath
10. The Black Album - Metallica

MANOWAR - Death to False Metal.

How do you have mostly all 70's albums and some 80's but then put Metalica Black on the same list? All of your choices are great albums. Great. But Metallica Black does not belong on a list with the words, "Old School" in it.

Rust in Peace was good, but I loved So Far So Good So What

That was a great album too. I remember reading an interview with Dave Mustaine that said this was during the days when they were heavily into drugs, and the band took their advance from the record company that was supposed to go towards the production of So Far,So Good, So What, and blew it all on drugs. Then they had to scrape together what little money they had and record the album with just a few thousand dollars.

1- Down I
2- Slayer, south of heaven
3- Maiden, Beast
4- Slayer, reign in blood
5- Metallica- Master
6- Slayer- Hell awaits
7- Sabbath, Paranoid
8- Clutch II
9- Pantera, Far beyond driven
10- hmmm, peace sells, ride the lightning, any other slayer, blah blah blah.

Has nobody mentioned Theater of Pain? That's a bloddy crime.

One of my personal main stream favorites that should not be on the list though, is...

Warrant: Dirty, rotten, filthy, stinking rich.

Bunch of good songs on there.
