Once in a while I wonder what is in other heavy metal fan's cd collections...Sabbath,Priest,Maiden...but what else is there that is still heavy metal with no thrash,death metal influences... My collection consists of these bands... Some bands I have multiple cds by,others I may have 1 album by the artist but that album is of superior quality that it has to be in my collection....
Black Sabbath Judas Priest Iron Maiden Saxon Accept ( Restless And Wild & Balls To The Wall albums only) Pentagram ("Pentagram - Relentless"debut full length,Day Of Reckoning,Be Forwarned albums only) Mercyful Fate (Mellissa & Don't Break The Oath cds) Manilla Road Cirith Ungol (Frost And Fire & One Foot In Hell albums only) Ozzy Osbourne(up to Bark At The Moon) Exciter (first 3 albums only) Grave Digger ("Ballads Of A Hangman" album only) Virgin Steele Queensryche (first EP only) Dio Running Wild Helloween(first album only 1985 Walls Of Jericho) Destiny (Atomic Winter album only) King Diamond Candlemass Blind Guardian Scanner ("Ball Of The Damned" album only Axel Rudi Pell(Between The Walls & Magic albums only) Gamma Ray Iced Earth (Night Of The Stormrider) Iron Savior (Unification) Hammerfall Ghost
Motorhead is not heavy metal,I have my Motorhead collection of albums ect...but some do consider them heavy metal when they are not.
