Default Best Metal Album of All Time?
I'm really curious to hear people's opinions on this. I don't have a ton of metal and I want to own what people think are the best of the best.

Personally...The Blackening by Machine Head is my favorite and I'll be surprised if any metal album posted here can surpass it for me, but I'm going to listen to everything!

Easy. "Horrified" by Repulsion is the best metal album, ever. Why? Because it's fun, catchy, and you can hear the past and future in it. Great ****.

Reign In Blood. The epitome of what metal should be.

I think this is too big an undertaking really, as metal has just got too diverse to really have "a best metal album of all time" Metal has really become a music genre of sub-genres, with fans of certain types of metal not really appreciating other styles of metal. For example, a death metal fan is not going to really have much appreciation of a classic power metal album and a thrash metal fan is not going to rave over Nu-metal and somebody into modern metal may not see what all the fuss is over a 1970s metal album etc. But I can see what you`re doing here and I`d say you`re going to end up with a very varied list of metal albums that directly affect peoples individual tastes rather than a more objective opinion.

BTW I`m a fan of Machine Head and have all their albums, but to put The Blackening as your best metal album of all time!!! well urrr hmmmm.......just how many metal albums do you own?

The Blackening is far and away the best Machine Head album.
