OK, let's get this straight right now: THIS IS NOT A LIST OF MY FAVOURITE ALBUMS. Neither is it a 'Best Of' list in any shape, manner or form. And it is also not a list of albums I consider to be important in Metal history in general (though many of them assuredly would be considered so).

What this list is:
I started thinking about why I listen to Metal, and why I listen to certain bands and not others. And how my tastes have changed enormously in the approx 15 years I've been, as one might say, a Metalhead. I thought it would be interesting to look over my collection and pick out those albums I consider to be landmarks in my listening career and write a little bit about why each is significant to me.

1. Anathema - Judgement

2. Black Sabbath - Paranoid

3. Cradle Of Filth - Midian

4. Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger

5. Def Leppard - Hysteria

These are my favorite 25 albums, not really in any particular order. They are favorites due to the fact I at least like every song on the album, and there are at least three songs on the album that I love.

1. Amon Amarth - With Oden On Our Side

2. Black Sabbath - Paranoid

3. Cradle Of Filth - Midian

4. Black Sabbath - Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath

5. Cradle Of Filth - The Principle Of Evil Made Flesh

1. Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast

2. Cradle of Filth - Cruelty and the Beast

3. King Diamond - Abigail

4. Dimmu Borgir - Enthrone Darkness Triumphant

5. Slayer - Reign In Blood
