[Xorv]

^ some good choices right there, even though one is ridiculously long and I can't seem to figure out how anyone has time to sit through all that. Maybe if you're doing something while listening. I guess I could try that album again in the future.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

its cute

 

[odinswede]

If I choose one album/band the list would be:
(otherwise it would be 5 Maiden albums)
1. Iron Maiden - Piece of mind
2. Black Sabbath - Master of reality
3. Judas Priest - Sad wings of destiny
4. Alice Cooper - Love it to death
5. King Diamond - Them

 

[RedinTheSky]

Slaughter Of The Soul isn't one of the greatest metal albums of all time?

This is like saying the Black album is Metallica's best.

 

[Morbid Death]

Something along the lines of:
Black Sabbath - Paranoid...
Blind Guardian - Battalions Of Fear
Carcass - Heartwork
Death - Human
Decapitated - Winds Of Creation
Dio - Holy Diver
Helloween - Seven Keys (Part 2)
Iced Earth - S/T
Iron Maiden - S/T
Kiuas - The New Dark Age
Manilla Road - Crystal Logic
Megadeth - RIP
Metallica - RTL
Morbid Angel - Altars
Necrophagist - Onset
Pantera - Vulgar
Rhapsody - Dawn Of Victory/Power Of The Dragonflame

More than 5 but meh, to hard to decide, probably change next week anyway.

 

[death009]

5 is alittle to Specific for me so:

Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
Black Sabbath - Sabbath bloody sabbath
Blind Guardian - Battalions Of Fear
Helloween - Seven Keys (Part 2)
Iced Earth - Iced earth
Kiuas - The New Dark Age
Megadeth - Peace sells...
Morbid Angel - Altars of maddness

even getting just 8 alone was hard...

Way too hard to narrow it down to 5 metal albums alone. All I can say for sure is that Altars of Madness would be my #1.

 

[Caecius]

I have no idea.

Metal Church - S/T
Metallica - Kill'em All (recently been enjoying this more than RTL)
Slayer - Show No Mercy
Demilich - Nespithe
Gorguts - The Erosion of Sanity

There is just too many...

 

[Onder]

This is impossible, I guess this is close enough for me. But srsly.

Celtic Frost - Monotheist
Carnivore - Carnivore
Vio-Lence - Eternal Nightmare
Pagan Altar - Mythical & Magical
Manilla Road - Crystal Logic

 

[ConnorFromHell]

Metallica- Master of Puppets

I assume you're talking about LODDOD. I don't really find the length of the album/song to be it's flaw, but the part in the middle with those really annoying female vocals. Other than that though, it's awesome.

And I'm not making a top 5 list because that's just too difficult.

 

[Xorv]

whoa, way to quote me months later mr sloth.

 

[Morbid Death]

A year later my list is:

Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
Death - Individual Thought Patterns/Human
WatchTower - Energetic Disassembly
Iced Earth - Iced Earth
Blind Guardian - Battalions of Fear
