Judas Priest - Stained Class (1978)

Best heavy metal album (or maybe even the best album in history) - recorded long before heavy metal was fashionable, marketable, or became teenage anthem rock for the adolscents of the 1980's. The largest leap forward between the sludge riffs of Sabbath and the twin-g mayhem of Iron Maiden. And neither Sabbath nor Maiden could top this one. The title track is the heaviest song recorded during the 1970's, hands down. "... all shall bear the branding of his thermal lance".


Metallica - Kill Em All (1983)

Most influential album of the 80's, as Anthrax's Fistful of Metal marches in just behind it. Ol' Metallica never quite got to the testosterone enhanced energy levels as this one, although the two followups are garbled up by their newer and dumber fans. This one gets lost in the shuffle, even though all the true fans know it shouldn't.


Slayer - Reign in Blood (1986)

Not much needs to be said about this one. Heaviest thing ever recorded for a major record label. And still sounds cutting edge today.


Fates Warning - Awaken the Guardian (1986)

First album to mesh classical music and heavy metal, intertwined into a maze of time/tempo changes that shows the roots of progressive metal. Laced with a pallet of some of the best riffs ever written, Matheos and Aresti pick up where Priest's Stained Class left off, of tech matserpiece with supra intelligent lyrics, proving that heavy metal was as much for thinkers as it was (as the media portrays) for gas station attendants.


Entombed - Left Hand Path (1989)

gods


Skyclad - A Burnt Offering For the Bone Idol (1992)

a medieval folk-thrash masterpiece! "Spinning Jenny" rules!



..... and many more me can't think of right now
