The Spectre Within/Powerslave/Dance of December Souls

The Spectre Within is easily one of my favorite traditional metal albums. Although I feel slightly dirty adding it when an Iron Maiden album hasn't made its way into permanence, it was a large step in increasing the melodic nature of traditional metal to form power metal, and contains seven very distinct songs that I would imagine had influence on others as well. Epitaph is practically epic doom metal before Epicus Doomicus, for example, and the vocal melodies paved the way for Blind Guardian and others that wrote layered and relatively detailed melodies.

Bitencourt, you can find the list on the first page, 2nd post.

Powerslave/The Spectre Within/Beneath the Remains

 

[Avigrus]

Powerslave should have made the cut already imo. One of the best metal albums ever.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Especially considering that Crystal Logic already has.

 

[Lateralus14]

The only thing remotely worth throwing a fit over in the above list is Agalloch making the #2 spot..

A Megadeth album being up there is kinda gay too but w/e.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Three black metal albums in the top three is gay period.
