For me, I'm more fond of Metallica's Ride The Lightning album than Master of Puppets. It's one of those handful of albums where every song is great.

For Iron Maiden, anyone who even mentions anything after Powerslave is a douchewaffle. Seventh Son? Puhleeze. That was friggin' pop music by their standards. Pick ANY of the first five: Iron Maiden, Killers, Number of the Beast, Peace of Mind, or Powerslave.

If AC/DC's Back In Black counts, put that on the list.

I love Helloween's Keeper of the Seven Keys Part I. So glad I got to see them touring for that album. IIRC, Bruce Dickinson opened up for them, too.

Operation Mindcrime: another good selection. Sort of "light metal", though.

We would get along famously. Except for the Helloween part. Never got into them.

There is no way I could narrow down my 3 favorites, so I'll just throw out 3 that haven't got any love on here yet.

Anthrax- Among the Living

Suicidal Tendencies- How Will I Laugh Tomorrow

Testament- The Ritual (not even their best, but I love it for nostalgic reasons)

Now if I were picking my actual favorite albums, Faith No More's The Real Thing and Angel Dust would be there, but some wouldn't call that metal. Same with Ministry's The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste. Mindcrime would be up there as well, but it has gotten plenty of love on here already.

I really only like that one album. It's another one of my rare "I like every song" albums. "I'm Alive", "A Little Time", "Twilight Of The Gods", "Future World", "Halloween"... good stuff. Schwichtenberg's (R.I.P.) furious drumming rocked. I hear they went in a different direction later on but, frankly, I never heard much else (aside from "KOTSK Part 2").

For me I guess it was Slayer, Maiden, Metallica and Megadeth that I started off with, followed by Pantera, NIN, Ministry, Sepultura, and shorter lived stuff like Helmet, Corrosion of Conformity, Nailbomb, etc..... so going by that I'd have to say:

Slayer...Seasons in the abyss. Real toss up between this and RIB...I picked the one that I heard first. Plus, the tape had a really cool inlay card....

Megadeth.....Rust in peace. I mean, c'mon...

Metallica.....Kill 'em all. I was a huge bass fan and played a little in HS. Cliff Burton was a big influence and nothing, even to this day, tops (Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth. Plus Hit the Lights, Jump in the Fire, Metal Militia....they never sounded like that again. Shame.

Damn, it's pretty hard to narrow them down to 3, especially since there are so many forms of "metal".

ToxSocks · 03-26-2010, 02:07 PM

Ok, so I thought about it and Im not sure if these count as "Metal", or if they're even my favorite 3, but they're the first 3 that popped into my head:

1. Marilyn Manson-Antichrist Superstar

2. Static-X- Wisconsin Death Trip (****, i miss this album...i need to downlo....err go buy it)

3. Slipknot-Self Titled

Easily. This album rocked. I bought the two albums post-Death trip just because of Death Trip. Listening to it right now actually.

all three of those rocked--slipknot isn't who they used to be--I love their early stuff (and I know, that sounds so freaking pretentious)... wayne static used to be badass--haven't heard from him in the last eight years or so.
