Well, there is another top album thread NT, but I had asked for your top 5 😛 😀

As far as hard metal goes:

1. Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
2. Black Sabbath - Paranoid
3. Black Sabbath - Master of Reality
4. Black Sabbath - Vol. 4
5. Metallica - Master of Puppets
6. Nirvana - Nevermind
7. AC/DC - Back in Black
8. AC/DC - Dirty Deeds
9. Jethro Tull - Aqualung
10. Porno for Pyros/Jane's Addiction

 

[Dave2112]

Ok, let's stick this to metal and hard rock. I don't much care for most grunge, and I don't consider things like Jethro Tull and Zeppelin to be true metal (but that's just my own personal take, no offense to those who included them in thier lists).

1) Triumph - Thunder Seven, Allied Forces, Never Surrender (tie)

2) Warlock - Triumph and Agony

3) Metallica - Ride the Lightning

4) Various artists - Working Man, a tribute to Rush (Have fun finding this, as it was unauthorized and was yanked after about 5,000 copies. Everyone from Dream Theater to Fate's Warning to Billy Sheehan and Stu Hamm are on this incredible piece of work)

5) Scorpions - Love at First sting

6) Metallica - Metallica

7) Motorhead - Ace of Spades

8) Marchello - Destiny

9) Yngwie Malmsteen w/ Joe Lynn Turner - Oddysey

10) Blue Oyster Cult - Fire of Unknown Origin

I'm the world's biggest Rush fan, but didn't include them on this list, as even early Rush wasn't really metal to me.

I love that song!

 

[Dave2112]

"Screaming in the Night", great tune. I had that on one of those old K-Tel albums when I was about 13 and that album got me into a bunch of bands. It had Triumph's "World of Fantasy", Y&T's "Mean Streak", Iron Maiden's "Trooper" and a whole shitload of great rock tracks.

By the way, I LOVE your sig pic! Is that one you did yourself, or did you find it somewhere?
