Albums you feel like an asshole for not having.

[Rabid Headbanger]

Uhm... the post-Dio stuff was pretty damn garbagey.

 

[IWP]

Pretty much all of Megadeth's albums up to and including Youthinasia. Oh, and Stained Class from Judas Priest.

Oh, and Kreator - Coma of Souls

 

[The Ozzman]

Anyone should feel like an ass for not owning Cryptic Writings and The System Has Failed.

Those albums are phenomenal.

 

[UndyingDarkness]

Mortuary Drape - Buried in Time

I feel like an anus.

 

[Melkor66]

Metallica - Master of Puppet
Burzum - Aske
Bathory - Under The Sign Of The Black Mark
At The Gates - Slaughter Of The Soul

 

[Zephyrus]

At The Gates - Slaughter Of The Soul

Believe me, you aren't missing much.

 

[Life Sucks]

Anyone should feel like an ass for not owning Cryptic Writings and The System Has Failed.

IMO, if any Megadeth is essential, it's Rust in Peace or Peace Sells.

 

[Wolves83]

figures just as much, I already knew everyone here was an asshole.


lol. I couldn't resist...

 

[skeptik]

Killing Is My Business...And Business Is Good destroys all of the rest of Megadeth's discography.

 

[GoldenDrumer456]

:zombie: Im stunned you'll never buy a Zeppelin album. Check your wrist and see if you have a pulse.

he should check himself into the er or sumthin

It doesn't go without saying that everyone who likes metal likes Led Zeppelin. I mean, there are even metalheads who like nothing but black metal (though my taste isn't that narrow). A metalhead not liking Zeppelin is not all that shocking. I just can't get into stuff like Zeppelin, AC DC, Van Halen, etc. Led Zeppelin albums aren't essential for a metalhead's collection.

'70s AC/DC (with Bon Scott singing) was a bit more raw and menacing than the more well-known Brian Johnson period. I tend to listen to those older albums more (although there seems to be a wide range of songwriting quality on any AC/DC album).

If you haven't heard any of them, I recommend hearing the songs "Kicked in the Teeth", "Beating Around the Bush", "Night Prowler" and "Riff Raff". They're pretty asskicking stuff.

 

[Hatebreeder]

I feel stupid for not owning a lot of older black/death releases that are oft praised. Is it really that terrible that I prefer to stick primarily to 90s black metal?

EDIT: oh, and Entombed's first two albums.

 

[The Ozzman]

Amorphis - Karelian Isthmus

 

[Vilden]

Metallica - Kill 'Em All
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath <-this is totally lol as I like doom metal alot, but I want my Sabbath on vinyl and the s/t can get pretty expensive. Atleast I've got 8 other Sabbath albums. :|

 

[Life Sucks]

^ Of their essential albums (ie up through Sabotage), IMO their s/t is the weakest.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

Oh, and Kreator - Coma of Souls

ANything by Kreator... yet.

 

[SouthernTrendkill]

^ Of their essential albums (ie up through Sabotage), IMO their s/t is the weakest.

IMHO s/t is Sabbath's best. It's heavier than Paranoid. Though not as good songwriting, I guess.

 

[Life Sucks]

IMHO s/t is Sabbath's best. It's heavier than Paranoid. Though not as good songwriting, I guess.

The song Black Sabbath is heavier than anything on Paranoid, but as a whole album I don't think it's heavier than Paranoid. Master of Reality is their heaviest album, IMO.

Slayer - Reign in Blood

I have the songs but don't own the actual cd.
