1- Ride The Lightning - Metallica (my metal instruction started here)
2- Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden (proved that punk and metal could co-exist)
3- Appetite for Destruction - GNR (I defy any child born in the late 70's to not have this in their collection! You cannot deny that tracks such as 'It's So Easy' were a revelation in the late 80's)
4- Wolverine Blues - Entombed (Death gets funky)
5- Imaginary Sonicscape - Sigh (Psychedelic masterpiece)
6- The Downward Spiral - NIN (Despite the OTT 'angst', Trent proved that he fully understood the link between extremity and pop)
7- The Inalienable Dreamless - Discordance Axis (grindcore comes of age and staggers towards enlightenment)
8- Rust In Peace - Megadeth (I under-appreciated this at the time but subsequent listens proved that Dave Mustaine fully comprehended the relationship between musical ability and musical hooks...an absolute gem)
9- Troublegum - Therapy? (Metal proves (along with Helmet) that it doesn't need long hair in order to flourish)
10- Octoberust - Type O Negative (the true sound of autumn)
