GN'R - "Appetite For Destruction"

About 7 songs each from Use Your Illusion albums. So, still one album...

But if you're being strict, I couldn't in a million years decide.

Maybe Master of Reality. But I've had an ale.

Live After Death

Alternatively, Powerslave if live albums aren't allowed.  I don't think I would want to live a life without The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

Cowboys From Hell. Bit of an eyeroll choice, and there are certainly other metal albums I like a little better, but guitar playing is very important to me and if I can only have one album it has to be the one with the guitar playing I like best.

No eyeroll if it's still giving ya a buzz anytime ya lash it on the turntable!

Vinterland: Welcome My Last Chapter. Almost thirty years on and it still sounds as amazing as it did in 1996. The zenith of melodic Swedish black metal. Not easy to better SOTLB but Vinterland did just that.

Arcturus - The Sham Mirrors for me.

After way too much thought, I've landed on something pretty obvious:

Mastodon - Leviathan

Nice.

It's impossible to pick a single album and I could change my mind a hundred times on it. It's funny how it eats at you... have I made the right decision??? Wait... who cares  :laugh:

I was trying to think of it in a desert island disc kind of way: what metal album could I get most mileage out of if I had to choose just one.

Exactly, but there is a part of the mind that feels like making a call on it one way or another is somehow definitive.

Imagine hearing a knock on the door and when you open it there an armed guard standing there.

-Right cunt, grab your CD, it's off to the desert island with you.

- Wait no, I change my mind. I want Dookie... no Nurse... no wait,  Stormcrowfleet........

- Sorry son, your decision is final. It's there for all to see on the Metal Warfare forum. Now move it.

Sickening to get there and there's no fuckin CD player  :laugh:

Other ones that came to mind didn't cover enough bases to pass a "this and only this til you die" test: King Diamond - Conspiracy, a perfect album but lacks in the extreme dimension; Morbid Angel - Covenant, Atheist - Unquestionable Presence, Tribulation - Formulas, etc., all perfect too imo, yet lack in melodic vocal lines, and so on. That was my thinking on it anyway.
