Just one... could you do it without a mortal repentance?

It's a matter of personal taste but in my opinion:

Stratovarius: Episode & Visions
Queensryche: Operation Mindcrime

...and then some 100 more.

Maybe helloweens treasure chest

Iron Maiden - Brave New World
Strato - Visions
Metallica - Master of Puppets

and sooo many other ones...

(hey, my 1st post here )

For me... Infinite... my first Strato album... really touches something deep inside me...

visions
avantasia
keeper II

I think these should be considered as Masterpieces, perfect albums IMO:

1. Visions - Stratovarius
2. Keeper of the Seven Keys Pts 1 & 2
3. Avantasia I & II
4. Land of the Free - Gamma Ray
5. Somewhere in Time - Iron Maiden

Stratovarius - destiny
The gathering - mandylion
Theatre of tragedy - aegis
nightwish - oceanborn
the gathering - souvenirs

The Power Of The Dragonflame by Rhapsody...

Back in Black by AC/DC

Stratovarius - Visions and Episode
Gamma Ray - Powerplant and Somwhere out in space
Helloween - the two Keepers
Iron Maiden - The number of the beast

well it's very diffcult to say what is the best,there are so many album to mention but i think the two most important for me are VISIONS and POWERPLANT.

They make me a metal fan

Master of Puppets(Metallica)
Vision(Strato)
Scene from a memory(Dream Theater)
Oceanborn(Nightwish)

There are so many great album....

Metallica - Ride The Lightning
Queensrÿche - Operation:Mindcrime

There´s two perfect albums.

Ehm...
1. Stratovarius ~ Visions
2. Stratovarius ~ Episode
3. Dream Theater ~ Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory

Of course there are a lot of good metal-albums in the world, but maybe those are best.

EDIT: I have to change 3th album. Nightwish's Once is great, but it's not anymore so good as it was when I wrote that first message.

Stratovarius - Visions
Children of Bodom - Follow The Reaper
Blind Guardian - Nightfall In Middle-Earth
Angra - Angel´s Cry

...and many many more!!!

Metallica - Master Of Puppets

Uhhhhhhhhh

Visions, Master of puppets, power of dragon flame, seventh son of the seveth son

IMHO

God. I can't do this.

Okay, i can.

Luca Turilli's Prophets of the Last Eclipse. Limited audience, great album.

Savatage......Dead Winter Dead.

Abstrakt Algebra's self-titled album is great too.

Some of the coolest I'd say are
Iced Earths Iced Earth and The Dark Saga
Maidens Live After Death
Children of Bodoms Something Wild
And if you count Rush as metal (some do some don't) Hemispheres

Stratovarius' Visions and Destiny.

Hammerfall's Renegade.

Helloween's Keepers, especially Keeper II.

Iron Maiden's Seventh son of a Seventh son

Metallica's Master of Puppets

Sonata's Reckoning Night.

Slayer - Reign In Blood

Stratovarius - Visions/Destiny

Metallica - Master Of Puppets

Kamelot - Karma

Sonata Arctica - Silence

Nightwish - Oceanborn

Girl? Last time I checked myself, I was a guy... O_o

DT - scenes from a memory
Sx - the oddissey
Strato- Visions
Edguy - theater of salvation

Impossible to say only one: i can list one hundred minimum!

but as a example:

The Number of the Beast
Made In Japan
Master of Puppets/Ride The Lighting ( I can´t choose only one...)
Rust In Peace
Reign In Blood
Back In Black/Highway to Hell
Visions
Appetite for Destruction
Keeper I & II
Defenders of the Faith
Screaming for Vengeance
Painkiller
Piece of Mind
Powerslave
Balls To the Wall
Metal Heart
Love At First Sting
Avantasia (I)
No Sleep ´til Hammersmith



I must stop. the list is too long. It´s hard to choose only a few albums, imagine only one!

I would almost say Ayreon - The Human Equation. It is the best album ever, but not really a metal album, more a kinda rock opera with metal influences.

So I choose:

Iron Maiden - Somwhere in time
Ozzy Osbourne - No more tears
Powermad - Absolute Power
Star One - Space Metal ( )

Black Sabbath: Heaven and Hell
Deep Purple: In Rock
Rainbow: rising
Whitesnake: 1987
Ozzy: Blizzard of Ozz
Barón Rojo: Volumen Brutal
Saxon: Denim and Leather/Crusader/Wheels of Steel
Grave Digger: Knights of the Cross
Rage: XIII
Gamma Ray: Land of the Free/Heading for Tomorrow

Metallica: Black album

Entwine: DieVersity

Stratovarius: Visions

i could put tons of albuns here...but i remember a few right now....
GAMMA RAY - POWERPLANT
BLIND GUARDIAN - IMAGINATIONS FROM THE OTHER SIDE
JUDAS PRIEST - PAINKILLER

ooh this topic where I made my first post

I'd add :

Symphony X - The Divine Wings Of Tragedy
Nightwish - Oceanborn
Dream Theater - Images And Words and Awake
Within Temptation - Enter
