Pick your top 3 Metal albums!
I know there are some Metalheads here which is half the reason I come to Chiefsplanet.
The rules are simple, you must judge the previous poster's choices before you post your own. Make it 3 seperate bands please. My choices... Seventh Son of a Seventh Son-Iron Maiden (Maiden at their best and right before they turned into Grim Reaper) Danzig-Danzig (simple and to the point Metal..without that AC/DC rawkishness) Master of Puppets-Metallica 3 pretty obvious choices I know... |

Solid choices there.
Metallica-Master of Puppets: Great choice, but I prefer the Black album. Iron Maiden 7'th son: Loved Seventh Son, but still prefer Number of the Beast. Danzig- Great band, but I've never really got into them. I'll agree with the "simple and to the point" metal sentiment My three: Black Sabbath - Paranoid Judas Priest - Screaming For Vengeance Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime

Helloween - Keeper of the Seven Keys, Part 1 (ushered in the power metal era) Iron Maiden - Powerslave (very difficult choice between that and Piece of Mind, with NoB running not far behind) Metallica - Master of Puppets (the last and best Cliff Burton offering, 'nuff said)

Helloween - have not heard anything by them yet Iron Maiden - Powerslave is on my short list to buy, but I also haven't heard that album yet. Master of Puppets. - Metallica is one of my favorite metal bands right now; I prefer the Black Album however. My top three as of now; 1. Metallica - Ride the Lightning 2. Megadeath - Countdown to Destruction 3. AC/DC - Back in Black. I'm currently listening to Kamelot - The Black Halo and it's pretty darned good if you ask me.

I like BtBaM. That's actually high praise from me. I haven't heard anything from Glass Casket, but from what i hear they are a well-regarded death/metalcore band. It was difficult for me to rate that 3. Is this your 3 favorite metal albums? Or what you think are the 3 best? I think most people are answering as their favs, so I will too. My 3 favorite metal albums: Ayreon - "The Human Equation" (Perfectly executed concept, enthralling folk-based blend of styles, great vocal and instrumental performances) Opeth - "Still Life" (Haunting. Chilling. Explosive. Serene. Transcendent.) Agalloch - "The Mantle" (Haunting. Chilling. Ambient. Serene. Transcendent.) Special mention goes out to Sigh's "Imaginary Sonicscape" and Pain of Salvation's "BE." |

This is very difficult. We all know this is going to be a sliding scale based upon age for the most part, right?
Not in any order: Iron Maiden - Piece Of Mind tied with Number Of The Beast (I am not going by production value) Judas Priest - Screaming For Vengeance (Defenders Of The Faith real close by this one) Anthrax - Among The Living (I always considered them at this stage in their history as thrash metal, I would like to list Death Angel Act III as well, but it's simply not "heavy metal" in my opinion) This list is flawed because Power Metal and Thrash are not simply "heavy Metal", but sub catergories of. Nod to Nightwish - I am listening to Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part I right now (Twilight Of The Gods). It's the same one I have had since 1987. Part II was okay but nothing as good as that. We should do a thread on thrash and power metal as well.
