Not sure if this is the right order, but . . .

Opeth - Morningrise

The epitome of music for me. Heavy, mellow, emotional, raw. This album's got it all.

Metallica - ... And Justice for All

My "real music" gateway. Before this I listened to nothing but Red Hot Chili Peppers and Pearl Jam. I love this band, every one of their releases, even the new ones.

Katatonia - Brave Murder Day

The darkest, most depressing album ever.

Dark Tranquillity - Haven

The album that got me into death metal, and still an all-time favorite.

The Crown - Deathrace King

Brutal, thrashy, excellent.
