I will try to be as subjective as I can and it won't include only my favorite genres as I will try to include albums from all Metal sub-genres because I think it's important to get exposed to all kinds of metal so that a person may create a good taste in Metal music. (Might include more than 1 album per band).

1. King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King

2. Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV

3. Deep Purple - Machine Head

4. Judas Priest - Stained Class

5. Scorpions - Taken By Force

Rather than just make another "Best *insert genre here* album* I thought I'd make a list of the five songs currently moving me. These tracks will be songs I haven't listened to in a while or new ones I've recently discovered to go along with the treasure theme. **Last Update 07/04/2011**

1. Cult Of Luna - Salvation

2. Akercocke - Antichrist

3. Pantheist - Pantheist

4. Swallow The Sun - The Morning Never Came

5. Queensrÿche - Empire

This list is the best album of every year that is represented in my current collection. Some years were really hard to choose as there were many deserving albums, others I had one or very few to choose from. The quality of albums drops off pretty severely after 1992 in my opinion. Its a shame the list isn't more diverse, but hey, I likes what I likes. I am however always buying music from many different years so expect this list to change. **Last Update 09/03/11**

1. Septicflesh - The Great Mass

2. Enslaved - Axioma Ethica Odini

3. Ghost Brigade - Isolation Songs

4. Septicflesh - Communion

5. Symphony X - Paradise Lost
