Hi, I’m just starting to get into metal, and I’d love some beginner-friendly recommendations

Here’s my starter playlist so far:

  • Paranoid – Black Sabbath
  • The Trooper – Iron Maiden
  • Hallowed Be Thy Name – Iron Maiden
  • Fade to Black – Metallica
  • Master of Puppets – Metallica
  • Hangar 18 – Megadeth
  • Holy Diver – Dio
  • Mr. Crowley – Ozzy Osbourne
  • Pull Me Under – Dream Theater
  • Breaking the Law – Judas Priest
  • No One Like You – Scorpions
I’ve realized I’m especially drawn to melodic guitar solos and songs that feel both heavy and dramatic, but also with a more epic, almost dreamy vibe.

I would like to hear what you think? Any essential tracks I should add?
