No Anthrax? No thanks.

 

[Anthrax_Mosher]

Yep. Should have at least had Spreading the Disease on there.

 

[Social Distortion]

There should only be only one album per band. Who cares about a list that's almost half Sabbath and Maiden albums...

Or two versions of the list, one where each band can only have one album listed and another where multiple albums are allowed. Band A's second best album may be better than band B's.

I love Baroness, especially that record, but its nowhere near a top 20 of all time record.....

 

[the Medication]

In Flames - The Jester Race
Among the Living
Ride the Lightning
The Black Dahlia Murder - Ritual
Children of Bodom - Are You Dead Yet
Motley Crue - Shout At the Devil
Dimmu Borgir - Enthrone Darkness Triumphant
Soilwork - Figure no. 5
Mercyful Fate - Don't Break the Oath

These have to feature in the top 20 metal albums of all time

Whether I like 'em or not, I'll at least agree with -
Among the Living
Ride the Lightning
Motley Crue - Shout At the Devil

but
Mercyful Fate - Melissa
is more like it.

Out of the Cellar by Ratt would get my vote to be on the list.

 

[anomynous]

Why should such shit band like Baroness be there?

Because that album's better than a lot of the stuff that's already on that list

 

[the Medication]

Opeth - Blackwater Park

How did I forget

 

[Thrashard]

this list makes it look like Anthrax, Manowar, Iced Earth, Saxon, Jag Panzer, Overkill, Exodus... never existed.

 

[Anthrax_Mosher]

Should have included Headless Cross.
