metallica - kill 'em all
ac/dc - back in black
iron maiden - powerslave
in flames - jester race
anything by children of bodom or opeth.

Re: Compulsory Listening: Which METAL albums?
 

Dman hard to argue with that.

The remdition of 2112 on 'Exit Stage Left' is also very good. Played with much zest. I have a soft spot for Caress of Steel, Hemispheres & Permanent Waves. The solo on 'Freewill' is that good I once owned a 'Freewill Cassette' (8 remditions of the song on each side).

I haven't listened to any 70's Rush in months (a real tragedy). I can soon put that right!

Iron Butterfly - Heavy
http://tralfaz-archives.com/coverart/I/iron_heavyf.jpg

there isn't one. the one on "different stages", and the one on "all the world's a stage" are both spectacular, though. :)

fun rush-related quote:
"After reading Shakespeare's 'All the world is a stage' line, I was amazed at his genius. Not only could he write classics of literature, he could build a time machine and buy Rush albums."

i'm not sure who said that, though.

WHUPS!
Now how in heck did that get in here?!!??

The album..."Kick Out The Jams" released in 1969.
Actually they were considered the original "punk rock" band.

So for heavy metal, lets go back to:

http://home.earthlink.net/~dewarjr/paranoid.jpg

GAH papadoc!!!
MC5!
Weren't they the ones who caused the phrase "Banned in Boston" to be originated?

Yep...think so.
They were definately radical bad boys back then.

I gotta party with you papadoc!
Does the Old Rose Motel have a bar?

Of One Blood by Shadows Fall. A new band who is being called the second coming of Metallica by some :)

Great album....pure rage...

the battle for LA was far superior, in my opinion. showed off the band's uniqueness and talents better, had better lyrics, and was just generally a better listen. you're welcome to agree, though.

Gee..thanks for leaving me with such a broad selection of choices :) The Battle for LA was good, one of my favorite albums, but you have to give them credit, that was their first album. :)

I agree with DragonSon.

I'll have to inject a little hair metal into this thread:

Don't be put off by Def Leppard's 90's crap. Their 80's material rocked, High N Dry in particular.

This is Slayers albums i didnt realise they had so many.

Hey!! I was going to mention Slayer as they have been completely overlooked here thus far (which would have been a horrible tragidy if they had of been overlooked through the whole thread). I realized they had so many because I own all of them :p, except for 'Haunting the Chapel' and 'Live Undead'.

Oh and by the way: Rush, Def Leppard and Guns n' Roses AREN'T METAL. In fact Def Leppard making this list simply horrifys me.

My Editions to the list:

Dimmu Borgir - Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia:
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0...1.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

Rhapsody - Dawn of Victory:
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0...1.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

buy this album:
http://www.musica.co.uk/images/produ...l/4/480820.jpg
SikTh - 'The Trees Are Dead & Dried Out Wait For Something Wild'

it's unbelievably complex and good metal. well, i like it, anyway. not traditional metal, really, but loud guitary music, anyway...

Sepultura's albums, not all of them i believe. This band came out around the same time as Slayer.

Chaos AD is the best one, fact fans :) - followed by roots.

i take it you're not counting all the albums they released after max left?

here's another one that may get noticed if there's any british metal fans in here:
http://www.et9evo.iofm.net/site/logo...iltercover.gif
earthtone9 - off kilter enhancement

and what's this? free earthtone9 mp3s on the official site? go educate yourselves, fools! (start with "tat twam asi", that should lead you in, lol).

Sepultura's albums after Max left don't count :rolleyes: Sorry, but without that voice, they're nothing.

And I agree, Chaos A.D., then Roots. Both amazing albums.

Y'know, I'm not a big Slayer fan, but I gotta admit no metal collection is complete without at least one of their albums.

Slayer, is a wicked band! I neva realised there were goin for 20 years, I wonder if there still going. I havent got enought of their albums, I should get more, same with Sepultura's albums.

Slayer's putting out a new live dvd sometime this year I believe.

Edit: It's already out 0_o

2nd Edit: New album in 2004.

Sounds good, cant wait to see the new album.

I haven't heard any Slayer or Sepultura. If I was still in my teen's I'd probably check them out. I was big on Magnum, also a bit of the old Saxon.

Saxon - Crusader
http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov...73141o8k65.jpg

The Ultimate METAL Compilation: Add a track to the list, eventually there'll be 10 (very varied) songs:

1. Saxon - Crusader

2. Fear Factory - Replica

Anthrax - One World

Oh and the song I want to add is....

Korn - Got the life

@idiot: Good call on the SOAD . . . not sure about the rest though. I was into that new-fangled metal for a while, but it just isn't the same . . .
