Top 10 Albums that are the Best of a Metal Band

The Top Ten
1 Painkiller - Judas Priest
2 Ride the Lightning - Metallica
3 Rust in Peace - Megadeth

This and Peace Sells are tied for me

4 Powerslave - Iron Maiden
5 Paranoid - Black Sabbath

Heaven and Hell

6 Vulgar Display of Power - Pantera
7 Symbolic - Death
8 At the Edge of Time - Blind Guardian

Well, I partly agree with Rambles and I would say this band is so good that they have several albums that deserve to be called "the best" of Blind Guardian. For me some of the condenders are: Nightfall in Middle-Earth, Somewhere Far Beyond and Beyond the Red Mirror.

But At the Edge of Time also deserves to be called their "best", it's perfect. I think choosing their best album is a matter of personal preference because Blind Guardian changed the subgenres/styles several times. A friend of mine even prefers their 80s albums with raw speed metal because he likes this subgenre and not very much symphonic metal.

9 Among the Living - Anthrax

Sound of White Noise

10 Alice in Hell - Annihilator
The Contenders
11 Avenged Sevenfold - Avenged Sevenfold

Can I ever click on a metal list now without seeing the phrase "it's not metal". Have you ever considered that if the vast majority of people consider it metal then they're probably right? I don't even like this band but they always sounded metal to me.

Yes this is their best album but they aren't metal

12 Crack the Skye - Mastodon
13 The Blackening - Machine Head
14 Seasons in the Abyss - Slayer

This and Reign in Blood are tied for me

15 Lateralus - Tool
16 The Way of All Flesh - Gojira
17 Annihilation of the Wicked - Nile
18 Heaven and Hell - Black Sabbath
19 The Mantle - Agalloch
20 None So Vile - Cryptopsy
21 Toxicity - System of a Down

This isn't metal though.

22 Colors - Between the Buried and Me
23 Wolverine Blues - Entombed
