im goin to the music store this week and im planning on buy rust in peace by megadeth and Ride the Lightning. Does anyone else have any suggestions or know any cds that are a must have?
 
Re: best heavy metal album release?

Those are great metalhead choices. In fact, those are two metal "must haves" IMO. You might look into a couple of other staples:

Iron Maiden: Number of the Beast
Judas Priest: Screamin' for Vengeance
Ozzy: Blizzard of Oz
Dio: Holy Diver

Nevermore - Enemies of Reality if you wanna get really heavy
Metallica's And Justice For All
Dream Theater - Anything
 
Re: best heavy metal album release?

Iron Maiden - Brave New World
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Pantera - Reign In Blood
 
Re: best heavy metal album release?

Slayer - Reign In Blood
Pantera - Cowboys From Hell/Vulgar Display of Power
Anthrax - Among The Living
Opeth - Blackwater Park
Lamb Of God - As The Palaces Burn
Tool - Aenima
Seupultura - Chaos AD

Get some modern metal too (not nu-metal): Killswitch Engage - Alive or just Breathing
Killer album.
 
Re: best heavy metal album release?

Definitely metallica master of puppets and ride the lightning, and kill em all actually thats the best in my opinion but a lot of people like master of puppets better :rolleyes:

Queensryche - Operation MindCrime
Def Leppard - High And Dry
Spread Eagle - Open To The Public
 
Re: best heavy metal album release?

Wow, I cant believe someone recomended "Spread Eagle". What an awesome band!!!
My old band opened for them several times...

Good luck finding "Open to the puplic" It's been out of print for years.
My cassettes were wearing out so I copied them too CD.
 
Re: best heavy metal album release?

Fresh Cream, Disrali Gears and Wheels of Fire...all by Cream.

Are You Experianced, Axis and Electric Ladyland...Jimi Hendrix

Truth...Jeff Beck

If you don't have 'em, you should.

Anything by Opeth
Nevermore-Dreaming Neon Black
Nevermore-Dead heart in a dead world
 
Re: best heavy metal album release?

Down - NOLA
Slayer - Diabolus in musica
Anything from Black Sabbath (as they are the Godfathers of Metal)
 
Re: best heavy metal album release?

Master of Puppets is good, but Ride the Lightning is king (IMO).

Best Megadeth album is Peace Sells. RIP is awesome, but you can't beat the classics.

Yeah, that's definitely an Ebay search to find that cd.

My friends and I still maintain that Spread Eagle is one of the best metal bands that never broke big. Their guitarist is simply phenomenal. Great songwriting and he incorporates anything from blues influences to out and out shredding.

How were they live? We always wondered if the singer could pull his own weight out of the studio.
 
Re: best heavy metal album release?

thx for the replies guys. i have most of the ones that were listed and they are all great and i plan on checking out the ones that i dont have
 
Re: best heavy metal album release?

Master of Puppets is the quintessential Metal album ever for me. A must own for anyone into that style. Everything else listed is awesome too, though I'm not sure Van Halen and Cream qualify as metal. ;) I'm glad to see Mindcrime on this thread. That is probably the most worn out disk of my youth...The Wall and 2112 are up there too...no wonder I was such a weirdo in High School! :D
