    Pretty Boy Floyd - Leather Boyz with Electric Toyz.
    :lol:
    Metal is the absolute worst genre to dissect. Pj fans are pretty tight but this would normally be a pissing match beyond the top 25.

    Is Rage metal? FNM? Clutch? Ministry? Kyuss/Queens? Any Seattle bands qualify? Mötley Crüe or any glam act? Jethro Tull? :wink:

    None of them are up there yet and now Ive confused myself and can't decide who to pick. fuck this thread :angry: lol

    Opeth: Blackwater Park was an amazing album from a great Swedish melodic death metal band. They're now more proggy, but this album really showcased the genre. The album is full of epic songs, including The Drapery Falls.

    Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind
    My favorite album from my favorite band. I think they took a giant step forward from The Number of the Beast on this album. Bruce showed that not only can he sing, he's got some serious writing skills as well.

    Yes, there are a couple fairly weak songs on side 2 but the other 7 more than make up for them.

    I consider Clutch to be a metal band. Crue's first two albums? Sure. Anything after that? probably not.

    Come on, folks. Let's go. 7 more before I get to post my next one...

    Great choice jeffbr! Blackwater Park is my favorite Opeth album and one of my favorite metal albums as well.
    I considered this one to be my next choice.....
    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 by RUSH. Plus it features the Leper Affinity which I find one of the most evil sounding songs, even though I don't most of their music it is the album that opened the door for me to start listening to music this heavy.

    Megadeth - Countdown to Extinction.

    Yeah, some people say that they "sold out" with this record but it was a solid, well written, rocking effort.

    It was the first time I had heard the phrase "Worldwide Suicide".

    Also, that album would have been number one on Billboard if it weren't for Billy Ray Fucking Cyrus.
