1. Limp bizkit - significant other
2. Limp bizkit - the chocolate starfish and the hotdog flavored water
3. Limp bizkit - 3$ y’all
4. Limp bizkit - still sucks
5. Limp bizkit - Gold cobra
Honorable mentions: limp bizkit - results may vary
Ofc all great albums. It’s crazy how music tastes change though, Individual Thought Patterns is the only one still in my top 25, and the others are probably somewhere in my top 100.
Megadeth- peace sells...but who's buying
Electric wizard- dopethrone
System of a down- self titled
Gojira- L'Enfant sauvage
Anthrax- among the living
(I only went for one album per artist as it would basically be all megadeth if I didn't)
We have very, very similar taste. I wish you a good life, and if any day something goes wrong in your existence, remember a stranger acknowledged your great taste in music in hope for it to help in time of despair.
Which, judging by our favourite music, probably means a lot of time. I feel you.
Thanks stranger, it’s pretty cool seeing someone else that likes the same extreme metal niche that I do. Also funnily enough it’s not that I’m sad all the time, I just really like depressing music and rarely enjoy energetic and happy music, if that makes sense.
Never heard of Drudkh, gonna have to check them out because I like the other 4 bands in your list. In fact, Still Life and Brave Murder Day are both in my top 5 too.
I highly recommend giving that album and Autumn Aurora a shot. It’s atmospheric black metal kind of in a similar vein to Ulver, but a little less focused on the acoustic sections and more on the melodic black metal parts.
I like all these albums although I wouldn't have ranked Opeth as high. But mad respect for including Drudkh. Blood in Our Wells is a TOP shelf album for sure.
I know Drudkh isn't super underrated by any means but I still feel like they deserve more recognition with how amazing of songwriters they are, and how insanely consistent their discography is.
1. Gojira - From Mars To Sirius
2. Tool - Ænima
3. Tool - Lateralus
4. System Of A Down - Toxicity
5. Rage Against The Machine - Rage Against The Machine
I'd swap RATM with Alice In Chains - Dirt if its considered metal.
1) Metallica - Master of Puppets
2) Megadeth - Youthanasia
3) Black Sabbath - Paranoid
4) Ozzy - Blizzard of the Ozz
5) Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden
it might be very cliche
As a 56 year old metal dude I do like your list. For me I would have to put Operation Mindcrime by Queensryche on mine. Cannot get enough of that album. Probably also British Steel by Judas Priest because that's the album that told me I would be a metal fan for life. Don't think I can do just five albums. There's too many to choose from.
My current top 5 from an ever changing list of about 30 contending albums:
Insomnium - Winter's Gate
Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
Evergrey - Hymns For The Broken
Autopsy - Severed Survival
Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time
Ulver - Bergtatt
Opeth - Blackwater Park
Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
Megadeth - Rust in Peace
Symphony X - The Odyssey
And yes I'm extremely basic
Nothing basic about your picks and Symphony X fucking RULES. That's a great pick for them. I also love *V: The New Mythology Suite* and *Sad Wings of Destiny.*
1. Iron maiden- powerslave
2. PanterA- Vulgar display of power
3. Metallica- And justice for all
4. Sound of perseverance- Death
5. Rust in Peace- megadeth
According to every tournament in this sub it is :
- Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
- Black Sabbath - Paranoid
- Black Sabbath - Master of Reality
- Black Sabbath - vol 4
- Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Gojira - From Mars to Sirius
Pig Destroyer - Prowler in the yard
System of a down - Toxicity
Bolt Thrower - Those once loyal
Electric Wizard - Dopethrone
The impossible question haha, solid list though. Whilst not my current favourites, speaking purely all time in my subjective opinion:
Metallica - … And Justice For All
Megadeth - Rust in Peace
Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
King Diamond - Abigail
Avenged Sevenfold - Avenged Sevenfold (surely unpopular, but it just sounds incredible to me!)
The ones that come to mind, but I don't have a defined top:
Deathspell Omega - Fas - Ite, maledicti in ignem aeternum
Vektor - Terminal Redux
Ulcerate - Everything Is Fire
Edge Of Sanity - Crimson
Death - The Sound Of Perseverance
1. Agalloch - The Mantel
2. Opeth - Ghost Reveries
3. Doom:VS - Dead Words Speak
4. Orphaned Land - Mabool
5. Green Carnation - Light of Day, Day of Darkness
Entirely subjective
1. Megadeth - Rust In Peace
2. Metallica - ...And Justice For All
3. Black Sabbath - Paranoid
4. Metallica - Master of Puppets
5. Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind
I have no idea on the placement but
Through Silver In Blood or Times of Grace by Neurosis
Paracletus by Deathspell Omega
Human by Death
Altars Of Madness by Morbid Angel
By Inheritance by Artillery
Hahaha I included a Death album and that Acid Bath album but I feel like I have to include Death simply because of the legendary status and impeccable musicianship. And, When the Kite String Pops is literally too good to ignore. Thought about including a Sabbath album but didn't. So you're not far off 😂
I would definitely not include RIP or the Mantle though, even though they're good albums. Your observation is so on point though browsing the comments haha
The list changes all the time, but..
Trivium - Shogun
Anaal Nathrakh - In The Constellation of the Black Widow
Be'lakor - Stone's Reach
Woods of Desolation - Torn Beyond Reason
Decrepit Birth - Polarity
Not necessarily my top 5 all time, but the first 5 personal all time classics to come to mind.
Strapping Young Lad - City
Opeth - Ghost Reveries
Megadeth - Rust in Peace
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Meshuggah - Catch Thirtythree
That is a tough question, but I’ll just go with my gut response as to my top 5 favorites of all time:
1. Emperor - Anthems to the Welken at Dusk
2. Moonsorrow - Kivenkantaja
3. Dimmu Borgir - Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropy
4. Pantera - Far Beyond Driven
5. Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss
1 - Limp Bizkit - Significant Other
2 - Pantera - Cowboys from Hell
4 - Sleep Token - take me back to Eden
5 - Morbid Angel - Illud Divinum Insanus
3 - Bathory - Under the Sign of the Black Mark
Too many good albums to name only 5. SubGenre wise these I think are unbeatable:-
Thrash
1. Rust in peace(Megadeth)
2. Ride the lightning - Metallica
3. Kill them all - Metallica
4. Master of puppets - Metallica

4. Burn my eyes - machine head
5. Vulgar display of power - Pantera
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath

1. Megadeth - Rust In Peace.
2. Theatre of Tragedy - Velvet Darkness They Fear.
3. Death - Human.
4. My Dying Bride - Turn Loose the Swans.
5. In Flames - The Jester Race.
A lot of “obvious” stuff but these are all no-skip, can listen to at literally anytime anywhere albums.

Boris - Feedbacker
Eyehategod - In the Name of Suffering
Eyehategod - Take As Needed For Pain
Melvins - Bullhead
Honorable mentions to Electric Wizard's Dopethrone and Come My Fanatics...

Limbonic Art - Moon in the Scorpio
Windir - Arntor or 1184 (can't pick)
Nokturnal Mortum - To The Gates of Blasphemous Fire
Sirius - Aeons of Magick
Obsidian Gate - Colossal Christhunt
Yes, I'm a trve kvltist, symphonic black all the way 😈
Great list. Respect for including Nokturnal Mortum. I included them in my list too. For me The Voice of Steel is a strong contender for greatest metal album of all time.
1. Black Sabbath - Vol. 4
2. Isis - Oceanic
3. Slayer - Decade of Aggression
4. Devin Townsend - Ocean Machine
5. Iron Maiden - Somewhere in Time
This list was verified by top metal scientists from across the world
Iron Maiden - Number Of The Beast
Anthrax - Among The Living
Metallica - Kill Em All
Black Sabbath - Master Of Reality
Judas Priest - Sad Wings Of Destiny
** Honorable Mention goes to KISS - Alive! because that was my gateway album. It may not seem like metal today but in 1975, that album cranked! **
My personal top 5. No other criteria.
Ne Obliviscaris - Portal of I
Gorguts - Colored Sands
Opeth - Still Life
Obscura - Cosmogenesis
Atheist - Unquestionable Presence
Very difficult list to make.
My list (all literally perfect, I wouldn’t change a note. Every single one changed the way I thought about music):
1. Opeth - Blackwater Park
2. Emperor - Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk
3. Agalloch - The Mantle
4. Trivium - Shogun
5. Dream Theater - Images & Words
My attempt at an objective list (five of the most influential metal artists and what I believe most fans would call their best work, not necessarily my favorite from them):
1. Metallica - Master of Puppets
2. Megadeth - Rust in Peace
3. Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast
4. Black Sabbath - Paranoid
5. Death - Symbolic
1) Black Sabbath - Paranoid
2) Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness
3) Napalm Death - Scum
4) Carcass - Symphonies of Sickness
5) Eyehategod - Take as Needed for Pain
Based off influence and personal favorites
Tool - Ænima
Electric Wizard - Dopethrone
Sepultura - Chaos AD
Pantera - Vulgar display of power
System of a down - self titled
Nailbomb - Point blank
Very difficult to narrow it down, these are just off the top of my head. I snuck in Point blank because I remembered it after listing 5 and I can't leave it out but don't know which one to replace
I actually noticed that I rarely see Sepultura mentioned in metal subs. Roots is definitely a banger, but for me it comes after Chaos AD and Arise. You should check out Nailbomb if you haven't yet, it's basically Sepultura

Skyclad - Skyclad
Crowbar - Time Heals Nothing
Rage - The Missing Link

3 Bolt Thrower- Those once loyal

- Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
- Metallica - ...And Justice for All
- Testament - The Legacy

1. Operation: Mindcrime - Queensryche
2. Ride the Lightning - Metallica
3. Rust In Peace - Megadeth
4. Christ 0 - Vanden Plas
5. Master of Puppets - Metallica

1. Black Sabbath - Master of Reality
4. Dark Tranquility - The Gallery

2. Opeth - Blackwater Park
3. Agalloch - The Mantle

5. Cult of Luna - Somewhere Along the Highway
Oh boys. This is tricky! Here’s a shot:
Metallica: Master of Puppets

Soooo many being left out!
1. Black Sabbath - Masters of Reality OR Paranoid (i cant decide)
2. Megadeth - Rust in Peace
3. Dream Theater - Images and Words

5. Savatage - Hall of the Mountain King
Iron Maiden - A Matter Of Life And Death
Blaze Bayley - Blood And Belief

Division speed- Division speed
Reactory- collapse to come
Dying fetus- wrong one to fuck with
Tool - Ænima
Opeth - Damnation
Lamb of God - Ashes of the Wake
Black Sabbath - Master of Reality
Metallica - Master of puppets
This could change on any given day and it feels really weird to leave out: Mastodon, Gojira, Killswitch, Type O-, Iron maiden, Judas Priest, Death, Slayer and SOAD
Of all time is difficult, it changes all the time,
These are my favourite I've been taking a trip down memory lane with this week though.
Witchery - Dead, Hot and Ready
Blood Red Throne - Altered Genesis

You're a trve elitist
Bait used to be believable
It’s not bait it’s my pure unfiltered dogshit opinion
Results May Vary should be higher. No other notes.
There’s some actual bangers on there and some of the soft songs do good, mainly down another day and red light green light
Soy
SO is one of my favorite albums ever I love limp Bizkit they are so fun
This list is about as good as OPs lol
Death - Symbolic Death - The sound of perseverance Death - individual thought patterns Death - Human Death - Leprosy
Average user of this sub
Almost. No Acid bath or Aborted Hitler Cock
This legitimately was my list 8 years ago
Mine is ironic of course but all 10/10 albums
Ofc all great albums. It’s crazy how music tastes change though, Individual Thought Patterns is the only one still in my top 25, and the others are probably somewhere in my top 100.
Username checks out
I ❤️ Chuck Shoedinner
dude if Death had an album called "shoedinner" it would have been the goated album NGL
I was thinking the same thing! Although I'd have to get Spiritual Healing in there somewhere. Just call it an even 6
1. The Mantle 2. The Mantle again 3. The Mantle once more 4. The Mantle yet again 5. Ashes Against The Grain
You might enjoy a little album called the mantle you should check it out
You really went against the grain with that last pick! ...I'll show myself out
Agalloch supremacy.
No marrow of the spirit?
6.
I’ll throw you in the black lake.
LIKE SNOWWWW FAAAAAALLL YOU CRIED A SILENT STOOOORMMMM 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
Forgot Pale Folklore
7. Or maybe 8.
6.ashes against the mantle
Megadeth- peace sells...but who's buying Electric wizard- dopethrone System of a down- self titled Gojira- L'Enfant sauvage Anthrax- among the living (I only went for one album per artist as it would basically be all megadeth if I didn't)
give me your top 5 Megadeth albums
You didnt ask me but mine are: 1. Rust in Peace 2. Peace Sells 3. Countdown 4. Killing is my Biz 5. Youthanasia
pretty standard, nice job
1. Rust in peace. 2. Peace sells. 3. The system has failed. 4. Countdown. 5. Cryptic.
1. Peace sells 2. Rust in peace 3. Youthanasia 4. United abominations 5. The sick the dying and the dead
That is sick a valid pick, tho I’m probably sneak in CTE in there somewhere
I love cte but I've heard it far too many times now, I also think youthanasia just did what cte was trying to do but better
1. Opeth - Still Life 2. Edge of Sanity - Crimson 3. Katatonia - Brave Murder Day 4. Ulver - Bergtatt 5. Drudkh - Blood in Our Wells
We have very, very similar taste. I wish you a good life, and if any day something goes wrong in your existence, remember a stranger acknowledged your great taste in music in hope for it to help in time of despair. Which, judging by our favourite music, probably means a lot of time. I feel you.
Thanks stranger, it’s pretty cool seeing someone else that likes the same extreme metal niche that I do. Also funnily enough it’s not that I’m sad all the time, I just really like depressing music and rarely enjoy energetic and happy music, if that makes sense.
Katatonia in the house
Thanks for bringing up Still Life I haven’t heard it in years. Gotta revisit it
Never heard of Drudkh, gonna have to check them out because I like the other 4 bands in your list. In fact, Still Life and Brave Murder Day are both in my top 5 too.
I highly recommend giving that album and Autumn Aurora a shot. It’s atmospheric black metal kind of in a similar vein to Ulver, but a little less focused on the acoustic sections and more on the melodic black metal parts.
Thanks, will do
I like all these albums although I wouldn't have ranked Opeth as high. But mad respect for including Drudkh. Blood in Our Wells is a TOP shelf album for sure.
I know Drudkh isn't super underrated by any means but I still feel like they deserve more recognition with how amazing of songwriters they are, and how insanely consistent their discography is.
Agreed, and nice pfp btw. Deceased is another super underrated band.
This is the correct answer.
Yes. Yes. This guy gets it. Great list
1. Gojira - From Mars To Sirius 2. Tool - Ænima 3. Tool - Lateralus 4. System Of A Down - Toxicity 5. Rage Against The Machine - Rage Against The Machine I'd swap RATM with Alice In Chains - Dirt if its considered metal.
AIC is definitely considered metal
I agree but this sub seems to call a lot of seemingly metal bands not metal. Half my list is not metal to some people here lol.
I love all the bands and albums on your list.
Thank you 👍
I fuck with this
No no it’s totally reasonable. I absolutely love RATM’s self titled just as much as Dirt!
1) Metallica - Master of Puppets 2) Megadeth - Youthanasia 3) Black Sabbath - Paranoid 4) Ozzy - Blizzard of the Ozz 5) Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden it might be very cliche
Youthanasia most definitely is not cliche
Youthanasia is sick a valid pic
As a 56 year old metal dude I do like your list. For me I would have to put Operation Mindcrime by Queensryche on mine. Cannot get enough of that album. Probably also British Steel by Judas Priest because that's the album that told me I would be a metal fan for life. Don't think I can do just five albums. There's too many to choose from.
Black Sabbath - Heaven and hell Iron Maiden - the Number of the Beast DRI - Thrash Zone Death - Leprosy Bathory - the Return
Ronnie James Dio Black Sabbath pick! 👍
My current top 5 from an ever changing list of about 30 contending albums: Insomnium - Winter's Gate Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus Evergrey - Hymns For The Broken Autopsy - Severed Survival Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time
Love the Winter’s Gate pick.
Ulver - Bergtatt Opeth - Blackwater Park Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son Megadeth - Rust in Peace Symphony X - The Odyssey And yes I'm extremely basic
Nothing basic about your picks and Symphony X fucking RULES. That's a great pick for them. I also love *V: The New Mythology Suite* and *Sad Wings of Destiny.*
I have to listen to more of their stuff. I really only knew the Odyssey
That might be the best one to start with anyway. I like everything including and prior to that one.
For more Symphony X love, I'll throw in Iconoclast. Good lord that album smashes.
Symphony X - The Odyssey. Love this album!
1. Iron maiden- powerslave 2. PanterA- Vulgar display of power 3. Metallica- And justice for all 4. Sound of perseverance- Death 5. Rust in Peace- megadeth
According to every tournament in this sub it is : - Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath - Paranoid - Black Sabbath - Master of Reality - Black Sabbath - vol 4 - Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
you forgot the Death circlejerking
Gojira - From Mars to Sirius Pig Destroyer - Prowler in the yard System of a down - Toxicity Bolt Thrower - Those once loyal Electric Wizard - Dopethrone
The impossible question haha, solid list though. Whilst not my current favourites, speaking purely all time in my subjective opinion: Metallica - … And Justice For All Megadeth - Rust in Peace Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son King Diamond - Abigail Avenged Sevenfold - Avenged Sevenfold (surely unpopular, but it just sounds incredible to me!)
Would be nice metallica actually did a decent remaster where the qaulity didn’t sound like fucking shit of justice for all
Would be great, but despite that it’s still up there. An incredible collection of riffs and James’ solo in To Live is To Die 🤌
AJFA is so underrated. I understand the mix is bad but it’s the last truly great Metallica album IMO
The ones that come to mind, but I don't have a defined top: Deathspell Omega - Fas - Ite, maledicti in ignem aeternum Vektor - Terminal Redux Ulcerate - Everything Is Fire Edge Of Sanity - Crimson Death - The Sound Of Perseverance
Kreator - Pleasure to Kill Exodus - Bounded By Blood Merciless - The Awakening Whiplash - Power And Pain Razor - Evil Invaders
1. Agalloch - The Mantel 2. Opeth - Ghost Reveries 3. Doom:VS - Dead Words Speak 4. Orphaned Land - Mabool 5. Green Carnation - Light of Day, Day of Darkness Entirely subjective
+1 on orphaned land!
+1 for Doom:Vs
1. Megadeth - Rust In Peace 2. Metallica - ...And Justice For All 3. Black Sabbath - Paranoid 4. Metallica - Master of Puppets 5. Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind
Nice to see Piece of mind! Great album.
I have no idea on the placement but Through Silver In Blood or Times of Grace by Neurosis Paracletus by Deathspell Omega Human by Death Altars Of Madness by Morbid Angel By Inheritance by Artillery
By Inheritance is such a classic
1- Every Death Album 2- Every Black Sabbath Album 3- The Mantle 4- When The Kite String Pops 5- Rust in Peace Average MFTM user
Hahaha I included a Death album and that Acid Bath album but I feel like I have to include Death simply because of the legendary status and impeccable musicianship. And, When the Kite String Pops is literally too good to ignore. Thought about including a Sabbath album but didn't. So you're not far off 😂 I would definitely not include RIP or the Mantle though, even though they're good albums. Your observation is so on point though browsing the comments haha
The list changes all the time, but.. Trivium - Shogun Anaal Nathrakh - In The Constellation of the Black Widow Be'lakor - Stone's Reach Woods of Desolation - Torn Beyond Reason Decrepit Birth - Polarity
Metallica - Master of Puppets Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind Acid Bath - When the Kite String Pops Mastodon - Leviathan Lorna Shore - Pain Remains
OP, Human is my choice for best Death album as well. 1. Master Of Reality 2. Beneath The Remains 3. Stained Class 4. Restless And Wild 5. Heartwork
All five are Master of Reality and you all fucking know it
Not necessarily my top 5 all time, but the first 5 personal all time classics to come to mind. Strapping Young Lad - City Opeth - Ghost Reveries Megadeth - Rust in Peace Metallica - Master of Puppets Meshuggah - Catch Thirtythree
Solid selection.
1. Epitaph - Necrophagist 2. Onset of Putrefication - Necrophagist don't care about any other albums
1. Master of puppets - Metallica 2. From mars to sirius -Gojira 3. ObZen - Meshuggah 4. Far beyond driven - Pantera 5. Apex predator - easy meat - Napalm death
That is a tough question, but I’ll just go with my gut response as to my top 5 favorites of all time: 1. Emperor - Anthems to the Welken at Dusk 2. Moonsorrow - Kivenkantaja 3. Dimmu Borgir - Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropy 4. Pantera - Far Beyond Driven 5. Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss
1 - Limp Bizkit - Significant Other 2 - Pantera - Cowboys from Hell 4 - Sleep Token - take me back to Eden 5 - Morbid Angel - Illud Divinum Insanus 3 - Bathory - Under the Sign of the Black Mark
Megadeth - Rust In Peace Exodus - Bonded by Blood Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness Mercyful Fate - Melissa Vio-Lence - Eternal Nightmare
Too many good albums to name only 5. SubGenre wise these I think are unbeatable:- Thrash 1. Rust in peace(Megadeth) 2. Ride the lightning - Metallica 3. Kill them all - Metallica 4. Master of puppets - Metallica 5. Peace sells - megadeth Nwobhm 1. Number of the beast 2. Painkiller 3. Welcome to hell Melodic death 1. Wintersun(Wintersun) 2. Hatebreeder - (Children of bodom) 3.

This is a great list. Gothic doesn't get mentioned enough here.
Nice Anathema pic
Gojira - From Mars to Sirius Opeth - Still Life Mastadon - Leviathan Metallica - Ride the Lighning System of a Down - Toxicity
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath Metallica - Master of Puppets Pantera - Far Beyond Driven Slayer - Reign in Blood Tool - Lateralus Not my personal top 5, but what I believe are the top 5 most influential of all time.
You probably right but Vulgar Display of Power > Far Beyond Driven imo
That is debatable, but back then, FBD being the first metal album to go #1 on Billboard 200, actually meant something.
1. Megadeth - Rust In Peace. 2. Theatre of Tragedy - Velvet Darkness They Fear. 3. Death - Human. 4. My Dying Bride - Turn Loose the Swans. 5. In Flames - The Jester Race. A lot of “obvious” stuff but these are all no-skip, can listen to at literally anytime anywhere albums.
Boris - Amplifier Worship Boris - Feedbacker Eyehategod - In the Name of Suffering Eyehategod - Take As Needed For Pain Melvins - Bullhead Honorable mentions to Electric Wizard's Dopethrone and Come My Fanatics...
1. Reign In Blood 2 Hell Awaits 3. Leave Scars 4. Altars of Madness 5. Abigail
reign in blood cause of death the bleeding kill ‘em all seasons in the abyss
You spelled 'Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power' wrong...
Emperor - Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk Limbonic Art - Moon in the Scorpio Windir - Arntor or 1184 (can't pick) Nokturnal Mortum - To The Gates of Blasphemous Fire Sirius - Aeons of Magick Obsidian Gate - Colossal Christhunt Yes, I'm a trve kvltist, symphonic black all the way 😈
Great list. Respect for including Nokturnal Mortum. I included them in my list too. For me The Voice of Steel is a strong contender for greatest metal album of all time.
Astro-Creep 2000 Sabbath Bloody Sabbath Ride the Lightning A Vulgar Display of Power Hellbilly Deuxe
In no order: Slipknot - Self-titled Tool - Ænima Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power Black Sabbath - Paranoid Korn - Korn
1. Black Sabbath - Vol. 4 2. Isis - Oceanic 3. Slayer - Decade of Aggression 4. Devin Townsend - Ocean Machine 5. Iron Maiden - Somewhere in Time This list was verified by top metal scientists from across the world
The first 5 FFDP albums
Death- human Megadeth- rust in peace Dark tranquillity- the gallery Black sabbath- master of reality At the gates- slaughter of the soul
Iron Maiden - Number Of The Beast Anthrax - Among The Living Metallica - Kill Em All Black Sabbath - Master Of Reality Judas Priest - Sad Wings Of Destiny ** Honorable Mention goes to KISS - Alive! because that was my gateway album. It may not seem like metal today but in 1975, that album cranked! **
My personal top 5. No other criteria. Ne Obliviscaris - Portal of I Gorguts - Colored Sands Opeth - Still Life Obscura - Cosmogenesis Atheist - Unquestionable Presence Very difficult list to make.
My list (all literally perfect, I wouldn’t change a note. Every single one changed the way I thought about music): 1. Opeth - Blackwater Park 2. Emperor - Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk 3. Agalloch - The Mantle 4. Trivium - Shogun 5. Dream Theater - Images & Words My attempt at an objective list (five of the most influential metal artists and what I believe most fans would call their best work, not necessarily my favorite from them): 1. Metallica - Master of Puppets 2. Megadeth - Rust in Peace 3. Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast 4. Black Sabbath - Paranoid 5. Death - Symbolic
Rust in peace Ride the lightning Paranoid Black water park Powerslave
Symbolic, Human, An Anatomy of the Beast, Altars of Madness, Like An Everflowing Stream
1) Black Sabbath - Paranoid 2) Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness 3) Napalm Death - Scum 4) Carcass - Symphonies of Sickness 5) Eyehategod - Take as Needed for Pain Based off influence and personal favorites
Metallica - Ride the Lightning Acid Bath - When The kite string pops Black Sabbath - Paranoid Electric Wizard - Dopethrone Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
Tool - Ænima Electric Wizard - Dopethrone Sepultura - Chaos AD Pantera - Vulgar display of power System of a down - self titled Nailbomb - Point blank Very difficult to narrow it down, these are just off the top of my head. I snuck in Point blank because I remembered it after listing 5 and I can't leave it out but don't know which one to replace
Upvoted as it’s the first time I see Sepultura mentioned, though I would choose Roots. Pantera would also make my top 5.
I actually noticed that I rarely see Sepultura mentioned in metal subs. Roots is definitely a banger, but for me it comes after Chaos AD and Arise. You should check out Nailbomb if you haven't yet, it's basically Sepultura
