Your top 5 metal albums of all time

[Squigs]

I don't really think these are top5, but when I started to write a list and think about what I reach for when I'm stuck, these just came to mind so quick. I think you could do 100 easy and still correct yourself. They're also albums I vividly can see myself blasting in my first car (RIP Purple Polo), which I think counts for something.

Mastodon - Leviathan
Cryptopsy - None So Vile
Deicide - s/t
Neurosis - Times of Grace
Judas Priest - Defenders of the Faith.

Mostly excited for seeing what stuff others include, there'll be big revisiting done.

[Squigs]

Already feel guilty for no early Sepultura

[Carnage]

Jaysus, Type O would have to be in the mix...

I've been listening to October Rust and World Coming Down a lot lately. Bloody Kisses digipak on the way from Discogs an' all. So good when they were good (SD&H & TOOTF are shite though).

[Eoin McLove]

Must check out that digipack. I only have BK on LP and a dubbed tape. Would be good to get it in CD for the motor.

[Snare]

Ah this thread idea is sick I tell you, absolutely depraved!

Kids always asking me my fave and I can't ever answer them as the noggin just melts! I'd have trouble picking top 5 a year...

Of the above, Beneath the Remains, Altars of Madness and Warmaster would certainly be in the reckoning. Probably add, chop and change with:
Entombed - Left Hand Path
Deicide - s/t
Dismember - Like an Everflowing Stream
Demilich - Nespithe
My Dying Bride - As the Flower Withers
Annihilator - Alice in Hell
Brutal Truth - Extreme Conditions...
Death - Human

Ah feck it I'll have to leave it at 11, before adding more I'm itching to add. Can each count as a half, and I'll drop one?

Nah, thinking of the ones I'm leaving out, I'd have to take 100 if I was on a trip to Mars - otherwise let me at home to wither in a nuclear wasteland.

It's not possible to pick 5, you twisted individual! 



Ah, I see Deicide was added while I was typing  Such a killer album

[Carnage]

Must check out that digipack. I only have BK on LP and a dubbed tape. Would be good to get it in CD for the motor.

I prefer it to the proper album TBH. The comedy tracks are all well and good but having just the 'serious' tracks in one place makes for a more satisfying listening experience.

[LLR]

Mercyful Fate - Melissa will always be In the top 5

Probably Defenders Of The Faith and Somwehere In Time too

but at the moment..

Ulver - Bergtatt
Dark Angel - Darkness Descends
Ozzy - Ultimate Sin
Crimson Glory - Crimson Glory
Deicide - Deicide

[Thorn]

I'm up to two now, definitely having The Number of The Beast in my Top 5

...And now I've just seen Somewhere In Time flagged. Arrgghhh...

[warhead]

GNR - Appetite For Destruction
Iron Maiden - Live After Death
Metallica - Master Of Puppets
Slayer - Decade Of Aggression
Now, these 4 were EASY......choosing the 5th might prove to be impossible.

[Caomhaoin]

Jaysus it's tough. Today, even this morning -

Borknager - Borknager
D666 - Cold Steel
Septic Flesh - Esoptron
Windir - Arntor
Death - Symbolic

[Circlepit]

It's like asking which is your favourite child. When one is acting the bollix you still love them but the other gets preference!
Time and place is huge as well.

Down - Nola
Metallica - Puppets
Terror - Keepers Of The Faith/Agnostic Front - Something's Gotta Give.
Dissection - Storm Of The Lightsbane
Slayer - Divine Intervention


Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger
Alice In Chains - Unplugged
Morbid Angel - Covenant
Obituary - Cause Of Death
Helmet - Betty.

The second list is just as important as the first to me.

[Bürggermeister]

If we're getting another five, then I'll add

Voivod - Nothingface
Death - Spiritual Healing
Kreator - Renewal
Obituary - Cause of Death
Morbid Angel - Blessed are the Sick

And if we get an additional five later on, I'll leave these here just in case

Living Colour - Stain
Celtic Frost - Monothiest
Pestilence - Testimony of the Ancients
Def Leppard - Hysteria
Faith No More - The Real Thing

edit-> been trying to keep it as one album per artist but am already brutally conflicted

[StoutAndAle]

Based on my mood - always subject to change and in no particular order;

• Guns N' Roses - "Appetite For Destruction"
• Sleep - "Dopesmoker/Jerusalem"
• Black Sabbath - "Vol. 4"
• Mastodon - "Leviathan"
• YOB - "Clearing The Path To Ascend"

[The Great Cull]

Almost impossible to stick to just 5.

Metallica - Ride The Lightning
Alice In Chains - Jar Of Flies
Paradise Lost - Draconian Times
Faith No More - Angel Dust
Def Leppard - Hysteria

[Deranged Bear!]

For me;

Metallica - Ride The Lightning
Corrosion of Conformity - Deliverance
Orange Goblin - A Eulogy For The Damned
System of A Down - Toxicity
Mastodon - Leviathan
