Well, I definitely have to agree with the Black sabbath album. I don't know why I forgot to add it to my list.

What never ceases to amaze me about this album is how heavy it still sounds. Many bands from that era- Led Zeppelin for example, or even early JP sound fairly tame compared to the extremes of metal that we have now, but THAT riff is as scary as ever, especially the first time you hear it.

JUDAS PRIEST - Hell Bent For Leather
IRON MAIDEN - The Number Of The Beast & Powerslave
EXCEL - The Joke's On You
LUDICHRIST - Immacilate Deception
VOIVOD - Killing Technology & Dimension Hatross
MEGADETH - Killing Is My Business and Business Is Good
PROBOT - Probot
DREAM THEATER - Scenes From A Memory
NIHILIST - Machine pt 1 & 2
S.O.D. - Speak English Or Die
FATES WARNING - A Pleasant Shade Of Gray & Disconnected
THERION - Lemuria & Sirius B
WINO - Puntcuated Equalibrium
D.R.I. - Dealing With It
THE MEATMEN - Pope On A Rope
these probably get the most rotation in my cd player nowadays

| All a matter of opinion really. Iron Maidens Number Of The Beast would have to be the most well known. |

Jeez, greatest metal album ever? Half the time I can't even decide on my favorite Priest album...
I'm a huge Priest fan, but I think most any metal fan can agree that Painkiller has to be in the running for that title. That album embodies everything metal from start to finish. There is no flaw, heavy to the core, and relentless in it's aggression.
I'm a youngun', so I wasn't around when SFV or BS came out, wasn't a part of the time of those albums came out unfortunately. Had I been there, I'm sure my opinion would be different, so I can't argue against anyone saying British Steel, or Screaming was the best.
