edited April 2007 in Other Music
Just to get some balance from the "I hate heavy metal" thread...

Whats your top 5 heavy metal albums of all time ?

Mine would be :

Number of The beast ~ Iron Maiden (An all time classic in my opinion.)
Heaven and Hell ~ Black sabbath (With Ronnie James Dio on vocals.)
Metallica ~ The Black Album.
Back in Black ~ AC/DC (Not true heavy metal but just as tough.)
Led Zeppelin ~ Remasters.

Not the heaviest of the heavy metal, but these are the ones I rate highly.

    i think you need to take poetry classes. their music isn't really about that. it's all interpretive, not literal.

    yes, and it's exactly what you're doing in most your posts.

    (2) Skyclad - Jonah's Ark
    (3) Tarot - For the Glory of Nothing
    (4) Manowar - Hail to England,
    (5) Singery - Suicide By My Side

    by the way, do you know how to spell "shit" and "ass"? or humor?

  • sj.brodiesj.brodie Posts: 468
    Does the first Rage album count as heavy metal?

    AC/DC Live for sure. The one with 'Thunderstruck' as the opener

    Alice in Chains - Dirt

    Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger

    Led Zeppelin Remasters was a good call

    I'm not a hardcore metal fan as you can tell from the lack of Slayer and Megadeth but i'd call Alice in Chains and early Soundgarden Metal and not grunge

    Iron Maiden- Number of the Beast
    Black Sabbath- Masters of Reality
    Judas Priest- Hell Bent for Leather
    Metallica- Master of Puppets
    AC/DC- Back in Black/ Highway To Hell (Although I like Let There be Rock better than either of those)

    Tempted to add Guns 'N' Roses- Appetite and Led Zeppelin but to me they are more hard rock

    It is time to admit that we used to rock like hurricanes. It is time to run for the hills and go round and round. It is time for us to shout at the devil. We've got the right to choose it, there ain't no way we'll lose it, and we're not gonna take it anymore.

    1. Vol. 4 is all that needs to be said, Wheels of Confusion/The Straightener is just 8 mins of pure metal awesomeness that is hard to top, not to mention the fact you've got Tommorows Dream, Supernaut and Snow Blind as well.:eek:\m/\m/:)

    2. either Cowboys, Vulgar Display or Far Beyon Driven by Pantera
    3. And Justice For All
    4. Machine Head
    5. Master of Reality

    honourable mention to Seasons in the Abyss.
    Can not be arsed with life no more.
  • dirtdirt Posts: 398
    Vol. 4 - Black Sabbath
    Peice of Mind - Iron Maiden
    Blackwater Park - Opeth
    Machine Head - Deep Purple
    Ænima - Tool

    Very nice list my friend.

    Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.
