Five perfect heavy metal albums

1) Judas Priest - Painkiller
2) Iron Maiden - Live After Death
3) Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon (yeah, I know, not metal)
4) AC/DC - Back in Black
5) Skid Row - Slave to the Grind (aah, memories...)

Totally mainstream great albums imo.
 
Test Complete!! I used to be War Machine 212, changed my user name as it wouldn't work anymore. It's been a while, thought I had better let you all know that I am still alive..........
My top 5, and why:
Iron Maiden, TNOTB The first ever metal album I owned, or should I say shoplifted.
Metallica MoP The second album I ever shoplifted. I also have fond memories of racing out of the shop pursued by some overweight prick of a security guard; ahh, the fun filled days of youth......
AC/DC Highway to Hell
Accept Metal Heart
Judas Priest Unleashed in the East and no I don't know why the hell I put that there, but fore some unaccountable reason that's been one of my favourite albums for as long as I can remember
Good to be back, and keep on rockin' !!

Good choice. I don't equate quality with record sales, but Pink Floyd has sold over 200 million albums worldwide. That is absolutely incredible considering they have had only four top twenty singles.

I think OP meant the five "perfect" albums... doesn't necessarily have to be a favorite of yours... perfectly recorded without any flaws.... etc.. etc..

I'm surprised u didnt include Danzig but I beat you to that anyways when I included the first 3 Danzig albums on my list hehehe :kickass: :Smug:
 
Black Sabbath - Master of Reality
Judas Priest - Sad Wings of Destiny
Iron Maiden - Killers
Venom - Black Metal
Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus

I win.
 
metallica-master of puppets.it has to be the best.ever.period.
megadeth-rust in peace
annihilator-alice in hell
soundgarden-badmotorfinger
alice in chains-dirt

i guess the last two might not count for some of you guys as they might not be classed as metal,but i think they are two of the most flawless and stunning albums ever.
 
superunknown was a great album,but for me,every song on badmotorfinger was a classic-no filler.that what makes a perfect album for me.that and the fact that it had jesus christ pose on it,my all time fave song.superunknown,there were a few tracks surplus,didnt really help if you know what i mean.
