The Top Ten
1 Ride the Lightning - Metallica

Flemming Rasmussen co-produced this album and recorded it in his studio (roles: Producer, Engineering, Mixing).
Kirk Hammett:
"We were really excited to be at Sweet Silence Studios because that's where Rainbow did Difficult to Cure. We were excited because we liked the sound of that album, and we were looking to get a similar sound for our album, using that studio and the same engineer, Flemming."

2 Difficult to Cure - Rainbow

This isn't the best album on this list but I put it at #1 because this is where it all started for Flemming Rasmussen in 1981 and his involvement with metal music.
Flemming Rasmussen recorded Rainbow's Difficult to Cure in his studio Sweet Silence Studios. Metallica liked the Rainbow album and wanted to get a similar sound by recording there, too. Which they did (as you can see below).
