I really don't know for metal. The first ten bands that come to mind are:

Kiuas
Amorphis
Moonsorrow
Primordial
Borknagar
Hellveto
Hollenthon
Summoning
Suidakra
Kamelot

Non-metal (bands & songwriters):
Pink Floyd
Genesis
Jethro Tull
Live
16 Horsepower
Great Big Sea
Fairport Convention
Mark Knopfler
Tom Waits
Bruce Springsteen

I tried to limit the lists to artists/bands whose discographies I find consistently enjoyable or strong. Of course, there are some exceptions; but those exceptions have (in my opinion) released other albums that I feel redeem them for their lesser material.
 
1. Slayerrr
2. Megadeth
3. Korpiklaani
4. Dethklok
5. Judas Priest
6. Bathory
7. Aspid
8. Immortal
9. Garden of Shadows
10. Cretin

Non-metal bands/artists I love

Blondie
Led Zeppelin
Darker My Love
Lady Gaga
 
Judas Priest are my favourite band but I don't like all their albums. I'm really loving traditional doom metal but my collection isn't big enough for me to really say which are the bands who have the perfect discographies. I think eventually Pentagram, Trouble and Saint Vitus will have crept into my favourites list, replacing some thrash metal bands.
 
Something like...

Anacrusis
Atheist
Coroner
Exodus
Fates Warning
Iron Maiden
Judas Priest
Megadeth
Queensryche
The Lord Weird Slough Feg
 
1.Opeth ( The band that got me into metal music)
2.Tool
3.Muse (Yes yes :lol:)
4.Porcupine Tree
5.Mastodon
6.Amorphis
------------------
7.Green Carnation
8.Amon Amarth
9.Insomnium
10.Kreator


The last four change quite frequently, the first six have been my favourites for a while now.
 
Such a fucking hard question. Alchemist are always #1 in my book.

This is my top 10 as at October 2009, however this list is dynamic and changes weekly.

1. Alchemist
2. Insomnium
3. Paradise Lost
4. Destroyer 666
5. Gorguts
6. Abramelin
7. Suffocation
8. The Chasm
9. Incubus
10. Phlebotomized


Shit, i forgot Phlebotomized, so i'll remove Thanatos and add them in.
 
1. Kalmah
2. Amon Amarth
3. Dark Tranquillity
4. Swallow the Sun
5. Draconian
6. Thyrfing
7. Insomnium
8. Stormlord
9. Survivors Zero (very impressed with their debut album, CMXCIX)
10.Nocturnal Rites

The top 5 has always be undisputed for me.
 
1. Death
2. Black Sabbath
3. Blind Guardian
4. Iron Maiden
5. Judas Priest
6. Dio
7. Helloween
8. Megadeth
9. Opeth
10. Slayer

Not in order except the first and second but something along those lines, 10 is too hard though.
 
Man I love Sublime. It's like they just took every other reggae rock song from the nineties and played it exactly the same way only with no differences. But what's really good about them is that if you go to parties at all in the US, there's an unspoken rule that you have to like them, or you'll get the shit beat out of you. Sublime is my favorite band.

After Metallica three times, that is.
 
It changes a lot, today I would say these are my top 10 bands, in no specific order:

1 - Death
2 - Arghoslent
3 - Darkthrone
4 - Candlemass
5 - Marduk
6 - Morbid Angel
7 - Bloodbath
8 - Slayer
9 - Immortal
10 - Nile
