I think Nokturnal Mortum will end up there sooner or later because they FUCKING RULE.

EDIT: Fuckfuckfuck, this is all wrong. I'm going to edit it a little bit... So there, I removed ranking below 3 pretty much because otherwise it'd be impossible. Also I added three that I stupidly forgot the last time. So sue me. :p

Dissection - Storm Of The Light's Bane
Dawn - Slaughtersun

Through Silver in Blood surprises me. I like that disc, but I always thought Souls at Zero was much much better. Learn something new every day. I'll go copy and paste my list, just a minute.
 
OK off the top of my head and we are talking ALL TIME:

1. Iron Maiden - Powerslave
2. Megadeth - Rust in Peace
3. Metallica - Ride the Lightning
4. Ozzy Osbourne - Diary of a Madman
5. Bruce Dickinson - Chemical Wedding
6. Sepultura - Arise
7. Amorphis - Elegy
8. Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse
9. Empyrium - Weiland
10. Savatage - Gutter Ballet

This can never be definitive. I could probably throw out 20 other albums that deserve a top 10 spot.

This would have been easier if we'd split decades (80's vs 90's).
