A little list series where I list my top 20 favorite metal albums every year starting from the year I was born in.

1990 is the year where my all time favorite metal album came out, I had to make some tough cuts for this list especially Danzig ii, Riot's The Privilege Of Power and Suicidal Tendencies's Lights... Camera... Revolution. Also I respect Pantera more than I like there music and the same for Entombed

1.Judas Priest - Painkiller

2.Bathory - Hammerheart

3.Megadeth - Rust In Peace

4.Obituary - Cause Of Death

5.Queensrÿche - Empire

This is an old list I made on my previous account. I've update it a little bit.
My introduction text back then said: "A list of 90s albums I enjoyed throughout the decade, some I discovered later."
I kept the same title.

1.Marillion - Brave

2.Dream Theater - Awake

3.Fates Warning - A Pleasant Shade Of Gray

4.Enchant - Break

5.Marillion - Holidays In Eden

Welcome to what I consider the "1001 Metal Albums You Must Hear Before You Die" or in other words, a list of records of various genres in the arrays of Metal and Hard Rock that I deem essential or at least very recommended to listeners of hard and heavy music. This may be a very overwhelming list but I essentially try to collect all albums in the History of Metal that strike me as worthwhile. May this be a guideline for people that seek for an entrance to a particular genre or certain bands. In no means I am saying, that this list is indisputable by any means. I consider these my personal picks for albums that should be listened to by die-hard metal fans at least once. Hopefully you can discover some new music or relate with my picks. If I missed something that you would include in such a list, please tell me in the form of a comment. Enjoy! \,,/

1.High Tide - Sea Shanties

2.Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath

3.Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin

4.Sir Lord Baltimore - Kingdom Come

5.Josefus - Dead Man

Bands almost unknown for the most, Cds or Vinyls out of print or never print, Sometimes record production sucks, thats why I love US power metal. An original style Classic and Epic Heavy Metal Mixed With Thrash, Speed and High Doses of Virtuosity, different than Europe PM with more testosterone and heaviness

1.Manilla Road - Crystal Logic

2.Jag Panzer - Ample Destruction

3.Riot - ThunderSteel

4.Savatage - Hall Of The Mountain King

5.Cirith Ungol - Frost And Fire

Due to my love for power metal recently being rekindled I thought I'd make a list of my all time favorite power metal albums. Some of those mentioned here are crossing over into different musical directions, but I still consider them to be mainly or at least to some extent power metal.
Also I'll limit myself to only one album per band.
The layout will be band/album/favorite song from the album

1.Crimson Glory - Transcendence

2.Fates Warning - Awaken The Guardian

3.Blind Guardian - A Night At The Opera

4.Lethal - Programmed

5.Sanctuary - Refuge Denied

3.Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin

4.Deep Purple - In Rock

5.Deep Purple - Fireball

This is a guide list to some of the greatest voices in the history of rock & metal music, ranked in alphabetical order, by singer's name. I know that there are many more great singers/vocalists out there and that some really good singers were left out of this list.

The criteria by which the following singers were selected are:
1. Anything regarding the voice and the vocal performance (voice quality, technique, range, originality, creativity, etc.)
2. Influence - effect (if a singer has been an influence on other singers or a musical genre)
3. My personal taste

The form of the list is "Band - Trademark Album For The Singer"
"Name of the singer" (Bands he/she has joined)

1.My Dying Bride - Turn Loose The Swans

2.Primordial - To The Nameless Dead
