Help my collection

[Nebulous]

Hi people. Wandering if i could get a bit of help. I've started a CD collection. 70 something so far( i know its not much but it will get bigger, thats what i want help with). I would like to know who's/which albums you think belong in a good metal collection. i'm after 80's metal at the moment as there is soo much that i dont know of from the 80's. I already know of the obvious ones (discographies of Met, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Testament, Death) is anything missing? I plan to have about 400+ when its done.
And i know that some of you will answer "get what you want" but i want to know what the most influential(ie:must have) albums were to all here (read:YOU)
Thanx a heap

For 80's stuff you might try Exodus, Dark Angel, Death Angel, Venom, Obituary, Exciter, Agent Steel, and Anthrax

 

[Mournful Death]

For me, besides Metallica, Death, Testament, Iron Maiden and Slayer, the most influential bands from the 80s I think were Judas Priest, Megadeth, King Diamond, Mercyful Fate, Candlemass, Motley Crue, Dio, Ratt, WASP, Dokken, Venom, Celtic Frost, Possessed, Helloween, Overkill, Yngwie Malmsteen, Sodom, Kreator, etc. The 80s was a fuckin' great time for metal; the reign of speed metal and pop metal, and the beginning of death metal, black metal, doom metal and power metal all produced great music.

Mournful

 

[Henrik Main]

Get Mayhem's "Deathcrush".

 

[HardSide]

Possessed
Sepultura
Ministry

No idea what else, just thinking of bands that were in the 80's

 

[Raumien]

I'll second Celtic Frost. Also, don't forget to grab Megadeth's Peace Sells Who's Buying, their best album ever.
