the single best heavy metal album

slayer will eat iron maiden.

 

Operation Mindcrime -Queensryche, probably one of the best concept albums ever too.

 

Master of Puppets - Metallica :sunglasse

 

yeah any metallica with cliff burton was amazing.

 

master of reality, paranoid, sabbath bloody sabbath...........

 

AC/DC back in black will always be the king in my book.

 

good album, but not the greatest heavy metal album, by far...... I really dont consider queensryche a heavy metal band really, they are more hard rock...... and they have alot of pink floyd influence.

 

and all the people sayin Master of Puppets......... good choice too. if there was an album to put paranoid to shame, that would be it..... definitely top 5 metal albums for sure. its the best metallica album at least.

 

i didnt forget the maiden

but number ofthe beast was their sellout album. piece and killers and seventh were waaaay better

 

sabbath 4....everything else is just rubbish

 

oooh! maiden nice, overlooked i think. but it's not the best metal album as the best from that band. tallica's ride the lightning or megadeth's countdown. black sabbath's paranoid or alice cooper. priest or maiden. sepultura or soulfly. tool or rage. it's to hard my mind's starting to hurt.

 

Okay... I'll cheat with Iced Earth's 3-disc (in Europe, anyway) live album 'Alive in Athens'.

 

Dont get me wrong, I like slayer. But, comeon! Kerry King is about sloppy as fuck on guitar. I'd go with James Murphy- Convergance or Jason Becker- Perpetual Burn or Megadeth- Rust in Peace.

 

I like their first one: Kill 'Em All (a.k.a. Metal Up Your Ass) the best.

 

Black Sabbath- Paranoid hell yea

but winner goes

ANYTHING EMPEROR EVER DID

 

Yay!! *hugs*

I personally would say 'Nemesis divina' by our beloveth Satyricon as my current and temporary favourite, but I know dozens upon dozens of near-perfect metal albums from which I can't really pick an absolute favourite, and these things always shift over time.

 

holy diver by dio!

 

Ok my turn..... I'm British so you may not have heard of them

1. The Wildhearts "Earth Vs The Wildhearts".
2. Terrorvision "How to make friends and influence people".
3. Faith No More "Introduce Yourself".
4. Skid Row "Slave to the grind"
5. Motley Crue "Dr Feelgood"
6. Alice Cooper "Welcome to my nightmare"
7. Whitesnake "1987"
8. Metallica "Master of puppets"
9. Motorhead "Ace Of Spades".
10. Guns N Roses "Appetite for destruction"

 

1984-Van Halen

 

theres just something about guys that listen to whitesnake and poison and cinderella that make me want to puke.. if you were younger, you would like backstroeeet boys and new kids on the block.

another one of my alltime favs

city of evil by Avenged sevenfold. i know its not that old, but ive enjoyed that music alot more than much of my music.
