Top 10 Rock and Metal Albums that are the Best of a Genre

The Top Ten
1 At the Edge of Time - Blind Guardian (Symphonic Metal)
2 Vulgar Display of Power - Pantera (Groove Metal)
3 Alice in Hell - Annihilator (Technical Thrash Metal)

Yes, the best of this subgenre ever.

4 The Dark Side of the Moon -  Pink Floyd (Progressive Rock)

I would say Animals or Atom Heart Mother is more prog rock than this.

There should only be 2...wot

5 Nightfall in Middle-Earth - Blind Guardian (Power Metal)
6 Annihilation of the Wicked - Nile (Technical Death Metal)
7 Ride the Lightning - Metallica (Thrash Metal)

Kreator did much better albums, Slayer and Sodom too. Metallica are not the only Thrash band, the German bands are much better than them.

8 Back in Black - AC/DC (Hard Rock)

The only album on this list that I can agree with. It's truly the best Hard Rock album, perfect from start to finish.

9 De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas - Mayhem (Black Metal)
10 Ramones - Ramones (Punk Rock)
The Contenders
11 Badmotorfinger - Soundgarden (Grunge)

The only grunge album I like more than Dirt oh and its way better than Nevermind

12 American Idiot - Green Day (Pop Punk)
13 Powerslave - Iron Maiden (Traditional Heavy Metal)
14 Symbolic - Death (Death Metal)
15 Nevermind - Nirvana (Grunge)

Ha almost every other Grunge album is better than this one heck even In Utero is better than this

YAS

This is better than any album released in the 90s except maybe American Football

16 Ok Computer - Radiohead (Alternative Rock)

I heard that Kid A is better than this album but I don't really know since I'm not a Radiohead fan

17 Hybrid Theory - Linkin Park (Nu Metal)

Linkin Park isn't Nu Metal or Metal especially when you consider their latest album

18 Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden (Heavy Metal)
19 In Utero - Nirvana (Grunge)
20 Set the World on Fire - Black Veil Brides (Hard Rock)

This is not hard rock at all

21 Reign in Blood - Slayer (Thrash Metal)
22 Octavarium - Dream Theater (Progressive Metal)
23 Loveless - My Bloody Valentine (Shoegaze)
24 Epicus Doomicus Metallicus - Candlemass (Doom Metal)
25 Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 2 - Helloween (Power Metal)
