Hi, I'm sure this question has been asked here before, but what's your top ten of all time favorite metal albums? Also, if you can put them in order, which ones would it be? Mine changes every year but here it goes:
1.Opeth: Morningrise
2.Moonspell: Wolfheart
3.Amorphis: Tales from the 1000 lakes
4.Opeth: Still life
5.My Dying Bride: The angel and the dark river
6.Tiamat: Wildhoney
7.Opeth: Orchid
8.Metallica: Ride the lightning
9.My Dying Bride: Turn loose the swans
10.At the Gates: Slaughter of the soul
 
Oh guy... *sigh* this is non-metal-specific:

Opeth - My Arms, Your Hearse
Opeth - Morningrise
Opeth - Still Life
Devin Townsend - Ocean Machine : Biomech
Edge of Sanity - Crimson
Frank Zappa - We're Only in it for the Money
Frank Zappa - Hot Rats
Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From a Memory
Pink Floyd - The Wall
The Who - Quadrophenia

Maybe not in that exact order, but something like that.
 
Al Di Meola - Elegant Gypsy
Dream Theater - Awake
Emerson, Lake, and Palmer - self titled
Led Zeppelin IV
Meat Puppets II
Thelonious Monk - Straight, No Chaser
Derek Sherinian - Planet X
Steve Vai - Fire Garden
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Couldn't Stand the Weather
Yes - Close to the Edge

I'm sure you've noticed that Opeth is not among them, this is due to the fact that I've only been listening to Opeth for about three months, which is not nearly enough time to digest them to the point of saying where they rank among my favorite albums. I also didn't rank these, other than the fact that they're in alphabetical order, because I just ran through my CD case and picked them.
 
Well, I can´t say that because there to many good albums but here´s my top ten at this moment:

° Evoken - "Quietus"
° My Dying Bride - "Turn Loose The Swans"
° Bethlehem - "S.U.I.Z.I.D."
° Shape of Despair - "Shades of..."
° Tiamat - "Wildhoney" and Opeth - "Blackwater Park"
° Katatonia - "Brave Murder Day"
° Katatonia - "LFDGD"
° Samael - "Ceremony of Opposites"
° Skepticism - "Lead and Aether"
° Deinonychus - "Deinonychus"

° and many more
 
Not necessarily in any order:

-Opeth: Morningrise
-Opeth: Still Life
-Dark Tranquillity: The Gallery
-Dark Tranquillity: Skydancer
-Edge of Sanity: Crimson
-In Flames: Whoracle
-Sentenced: Amok
-Theatre of Tragedy: Velvet Darkness They Fear
-Therion: Theli
-The Black League: Ichor
-The Gathering: Mandylion
-The Sins of Thy Beloved: Lake of Sorrow

Whoops, that's twelve already.
