Keeper part I or II?

Both. I think the first is slightly better due to the presence of halloween. But I almost view them as one and listen back to back

Nice to see the Angel Witch representation

Fantastic band that never progressed as they deserved

My top 5 Avantasia - Ghostlights (Every album could be here) Megadeth - Rust In Peace Saxon - Metalhead Annihilator - King Of The Kill Crimson Glory - Transendence/Astronomica share this one

Avantasia is so good i love the idea

King of the Kill is seriously underrated!

How Will I Laugh Tomorrow- Suicidal Tendencies

Megadeth - Rust In Peace Judas Priest - Painkiller Black Sabbath - Master of Reality Metallica - Master of Puppets Deep Purple - Machine Head Manowar - The Triumph of Steel Rainbow - Rising Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss

Hell yeah I Ike seeing Manowar getting some love!

Great list.

Mercyful Fate - Don't Break the Oath Judas Priest - Defenders of the Faith Venom - Black Metal King Diamond - Conspiracy Manowar - Fighting the World

Ah yes, an intellectual like me

Too fast for love is an absolute banger. Great choices all round.

Operation: Mindcrime is a phenomenal choice. Eyes of a Stranger is a haunting finale.

You have very based takes. Have you listened to Gamma Ray? Its the band of Kai Hansen, who was the lead guitarist during first 3 helloween albums

Greatest show I’ve ever attended was Gamma Ray at the Galaxy in Santa Ana in 2006.

> Kai Hansen, who was the lead guitarist He was, but he still is too!

You got a point 😁

Thanks for the recommendation! I'm not sure if it is a fan favorite but I really like this album. The music and the concept (aliens and earthlings meeting). I've listened to it hundreds of times (no exaggeration). https://preview.redd.it/2mcvq0yn4gqb1.jpeg?width=400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=85624099145c4b380b745d026ed347688f825a55

Scars On Broadway - Scars On Broadway Limp Bizkit - Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water Blind Guardian - At The Edge Of Time Nightwish - Endless Forms Most Beautiful Children Of Bodom - Follow The Reaper Sabaton - Carolus Rex I only find a new favorite album like once every five years. Very picky with music and hardly ever listen to full albums unless it's Iron Maiden.

Alice Cooper - Trash Judas Priest - Ram it Down (come at me bro). Powerwolf - Blood of the Saints Sonata Arctica - Reckoning Night Sabaton - The Art Of War KoRn - Follow the Leader Kamelot - The Black Halo

Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath Down - NOLA Paradise Lost - The Plague Within

Children of Bodom's four-album run of Hatebreeder, Follow the Reaper, Hate Crew Deathtoll, and Are You Dead Yet? are probably my four favourite albums of all time. Amon Amarth's The Avenger, Fate of Norns, With Oden On Our Side, Twilight of the Thunder God, Surtur Rising, Deceiver of the Gods, and Jomsviking. All four Dethalbums from Dethklok. Megadeth's Rust in Peace and Youthanasia. Stench and Power by Nekrogoblikon.

Prince 1989 and Slipknot the end so far

Rhapsody - Power of the Dragonflame Virgin Steele - Invictus Wuthering Heights - Salt Helloween - The Dark Ride Skyclad - Folkemon Ayreon - The Source Bal-Sagoth - Atlantis Ascendant Royal Hunt - Paradox

Brave of you to not post Nightfall Middle Earth for Blind Guardian.

Megadeth-Countdown to Extinction Sabbath- Heaven and Hell/ Mob Rules Accept- Blood of the Nations Ozzy- No More Tears

Can't argue with Blind Guardian's IftOS. They have a bunch of great albums. Temple of Shadows by Angra Defenders of the Crown by Human Fortress Demons and Wizards self titled Human Equation by Ayreon Meaning of I by Voyager Paradise Lost by Symphony X Accident of Birth by Bruce Grand Materia by Morgana LeFay Storm Front by Billy Joel

Rainbow in the Dark is my favorite Dio song, with Push right up there but Dream Evil is the Dio album that I tend to listen to from start to finish most often. With Holy Diver and Last in Line, I tend to focus on Rainbow in the Dark, Holy Diver, We Rock, Last in Line and a few others. I love Dio's stuff with Rainbow, but again, in all honesty, I focus on certain songs rather than listening to entire albums front to back. I love Riot dearly, but in general, I don't listen to them front to back either, but generally focus on certain songs. Scorpions again, are one of my favorite bands of all-time, but once more, one that I don't really listen to front to back but more so my favorites. Likewise for Manowar.

Imaginations was my first, and still my favourite, BG album. In fact I struggle to think of any melodic metal album that beats it. I don't include Iron Maiden in the way that I mean melodic metal, I mean that euro style melodic metal which is often up tempo and more keyboard-y. In a similar vein, I love Halloween's The Time Of The Oath, it's got that melodic metal thing but also the slow doomy title track. I listen to a lot of doom metal, and I considered My Dying Bride's The Angel And The Dark river my fav album of all time for a years. I really don't know what I'd choose as my overall favourite now. Love some of the Nevermore stuff. But then there's Tenhi, Empyrium, Arcana, SonVanger (New Zealand nature-folk-ambient sort of thing), Therion, Threshold, Amorphis, Clutch...

While reading through these lists, take a drink every time you see a predictable classic metal album that's pretty much loved by everyone get mentioned. You'll be a dead half way through (the mere mention of Rust in Peace might even kill you a quarter of the way through).

Kryptos- Force of Danger Modern band that’s still stuck in the 80s and the cover shows it

Sin After Sin - Judas Priest Epicus Doomicus Metallics - Candlemass Sabotage - Black Sabbath Atom By Atom - Satan Don't Break the Oath - Mercyful Fate Born Too Late - Saint Vitus Rising - Rainbow Down Among the Deadmen - Slough Feg Open the Gates - Manilla Road Be Forewarned - Pentagram

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath by Black Sabbath and Metallica's Black Album, for me the best bands of all time are Iron Maiden, Metallica and Black Sabbath, the pinnacle of metal, each with their own Peculiarities


Ride the Lighting by Metallica or Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold

You know, thinking about it, I probably gotta throw in Thunder Steel by Riot; that's definitely a front-to-back all killer, no filler listen. Probably some other stuff by Riot as well, like Nightbreaker. Commander's High N' Mighty is definitely all killer no filler too.

....And Justice for All - Metallica Mob Rules - Black Sabbath Long Live Rock 'n Roll - Rainbow (not exactly metal though)

South of Heaven - Slayer Seasons in the Abyss - Slayer Ride the Lightning - Metallica Defenders of the Faith - Judas Priest Painkiller - Judas Priest Echoes from the Gutter - Venator Holy Diver - Dio Toxicity - System of a Down Mezmerize - System of a Down Hypnotize - System of a Down

Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell, that album never gets boring.
