Unfortunately I'm unable to lie because of an evil birthday wish by a small child... which means if I can only speak the truth Rust In Peace MUST be way better! :D

LIAR!!! :D
 
Well a lot of the albums mentioned are classics and a good cross section of decent metal, most are not really all that accessible for newbies :)

I would suggest -

Metallica - Black
Dream Theater - Scenes From a Memory
Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
Bruce Dickinson - Best of (Some of it is more accessible than others)
Black Sabbath - Headless Cross (Could be a little too much... but hey Tony Martin is a god :))
 
MOTORHEAD-No sleep Til' Hammersmith
METALLICA-Kill 'Em All
METALLICA-Ride The Lighting(for exactly the reasonsJoe Salami said....i might have to dig out my Vinyl and listen to that first side)
JUDAS PRIEST-Priest Live(1986)
MOTLEY CRUE-Shout at the Devil(for the reasons that the Trooper has stated)
MOTLEY CRUE-Too Fast For Love
IRON MAIDEN-Number Of The Beast
IRON MAIDEN-Powerslave
IRON MAIDEN-Live after Death
BLACK SABBATH-Paranoid

These were some of the first bands i heard( i started listening to metal at the end of 1984) and still remain some of favourite albums in my collection.

Yes i know that's ten but i couldn't pick just 5 albums:lol:
