pandrstudios Metal History

These are MY Top 250 Albums that are featured on Metal Storm in chronological order to celebrate 50 Years of Metal.

Some bands are featured on this list with more than one album, which means that they are perticulary amazing to me.

I listen to a wide spectrum of metal genres, which is why I tried to keep it diverse and not focus on one genre.

1.Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
2.Deep Purple - In Rock
3.Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV
4.Uriah Heep - Demons And Wizards
5.Alice Cooper - Billion Dollar Babies

Empowering Albums For Powerless Losers

This is a list of all the power metal albums I have listened to that are worth remembering. Like my other genre lists, this is not meant to be a definitive guide to power metal or a binding judgment on what power metal is or is not. The list exists purely for my own organizational purposes and may contain bands or albums that are not strictly True Knights of the Eternal Thundersword.

The first cluster includes my favorite albums in the genre (and a significant number of my all-time favorites); beyond that, they are listed by rating from 9/10 down to 6/10 and alphabetically within each bracket.

Last updated November 27, 2021.

1.Blind Guardian - Nightfall In Middle-Earth
2.Blind Guardian - Imaginations From The Other Side
3.Blind Guardian - Somewhere Far Beyond
4.Jag Panzer - Thane To The Throne
5.X Japan - Art Of Life

Sibling Albums

So like albums that have a clear tie between them, were recorded around about the same time and were clearly intended together, as opposed to a sequel coming years after. Some of these have actually been released together, as can be seen here.

That's about all I can think of right now. So feel free to think of some more for me.

1.Opeth - Deliverance
2.Opeth - Damnation
3.Metallica - Load
4.Metallica - Re-Load
5.Helloween - Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part I

Also I'll limit myself to only one album per band.
The layout will be band/album/favorite song from the album

2.Fates Warning - Awaken The Guardian
3.Blind Guardian - A Night At The Opera

Helloween Discography (Ranked)

My personal ranking of all the Helloween studio albums. I found it surprisingly difficult to rank the albums from Master Of The Rings to The Dark Ride. I think all of those albums have great songs, but also have a few weak songs. The Keeper 1 and 2 albums sometimes switch position depending on mood. It is worrying that their 2 latest albums are in the bottom 3. My God-Given Right would definitely be bottom if the travesty that is Chameleon hadn't been released. I decided to leave Metal Jukebox out as it's a cover album.

1.Helloween - Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part II
2.Helloween - Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part I
3.Helloween - Walls Of Jericho
4.Helloween - Master Of The Rings
5.Helloween - The Time Of The Oath

100 Greatest Metal Bands

Pretty self-explanatory, with a couple caveats: first, this is mostly just a list of my favorite metal bands in approximate order (after the top 10 or so the order matters far less), with extra weight given to influence and timelessness of sound; and second, the albums selected are not necessarily the band's "best" album, or even my personal favorite -- they are the albums that I feel best represent the band's classic sound and/or well-represent the span of their career. List includes all sub-genres of metal and some post-metal metal. Feel free to spew your hatred below. \m/ (xx) \m/

1.Black Sabbath - Paranoid
2.Iron Maiden - Powerslave
3.Metallica - Master Of Puppets
4.Judas Priest - Screaming For Vengeance
5.Slayer - Reign In Blood

The Ultimate Metal Albums

My personal favorites. These albums are as perfect as an album can get, they always bring up the adrenaline and have in many ways changed the way I perceive music, expanding the horizons of metal in various ways. Most important of all they never get old or boring and therefore should be given a chance.

1.Angra - Temple Of Shadows
2.Helloween - Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part II
3.Symphony X - The Divine Wings Of Tragedy
4.Adagio - Underworld
5.Judas Priest - Defenders Of The Faith
