that would have been boring

Well, I can agree on that much.

[CiG]

3. Rush-Moving Pictures

You're calling this a metal album?

 

[Talos of Atmora]

@Iron Wizard The only album that even remotely approaches the sound of "metal" is Clockwork Angels. Not a whole lot beside that.

 

[Satanstoenail]

You're suprised? He was calling The Who metal a few months ago.

True, the kid may be retarded or something.

1. You misspelled "Rust in Peace" and
2. "Moving Pictures," while phenomenal, doesn't even have a single metal track on it.

Otherwise, very strong list.

Have you heard 2112? One of the heaviest albums of all time. I consider Rush to be a progressive metal band, in fact the first of their kind. You have to distinguish what they were doing from stuff like Yes and Styx.

I haven't listened to Rust in Peace for a while. Amazon locked me out of it because I changed accounts. Peace Sells has the virtue of containing the title track and Bad Omen.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Fates Warning - Awaken the Guardian
Helstar - Remnants of War
Immolation - Here in After
Bathory - Under the Sign of the Black Mark
Slayer - Hell Awaits
Aeternus - ...and So the Night Became
Attacker - Battle at Helm's Deep
Black Sabbath - Sabotage
Judas Priest - Stained Class
Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas

Heavy =/= metal.

Rush are just progressive rock.

You can make the case with some of their earlier albums (I would still hold the position that there are metal passages, but not enough to describe them as metal); however, there's no argument for Moving Pictures being a metal album.

The title track is far from one of Megadeth's greatest moments. The opening is painfully dated. A the blues cover straight up sucks.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Peace Sells' opening is classic and the entire song sounds like nothing else, basically the definitive Mustaine-rant song, how can a bass line be "painfully dated"?
