Albums that You Will Always See at a ''Best Metal Albums of all Time'' List

These albums are always there cause they are the most popular ones,not the best ones.And some of them aren't even Metal.
The Top Ten
1 Master of Puppets - Metallica

Is this supposed to be a list of albums that pop up on most best albums list that don't deserve it or just a random list of albums that pop up rather deserving or undeserving, reading the description makes me think it is supposed to be the first one

Yes and why not?

2 Paranoid - Black Sabbath

My favorite metal album of all time

Yes, but it's so overrated.

3 Ride The Lightning - Metallica

Probably my favorite metal album of all time

Their best album, I even like "Escape".

4 Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden

I actually think it is their weakest out of the classic five with Bruce in the 1980s. Piece of Mind is already better:
Invaders vs. Where Eagles Dare: Where Eagles Dare! Its chorus is much better and the instrumental work is more technical and exciting
Children of the Damned vs. Revelations: Revelations! Less repetitive and CotD has a predictable structure
The Prisoner vs. Flight of Icarus: Flight of Icarus! Catchier, not overlong and has a better solo.
22 Acacia Avenue vs. Die with Your Boots On: 22 Acacia Avenue! Less repetitive, has a better instrumental section and has more energy.
Run to the Hills vs. The Trooper: The Trooper! Less poppy, has a better intro and riff
The Number of the Beast vs. Still Life (practically the title track since it contains the lyrics "piece of mind"): Still Life! In The Number of the Beast, only the intro is really good, while Still Life also has a great chorus and buildup
Gangland vs. Quest for Fire: Gangland! Less forgettable, ...more
