Can't really argue with that list. I don't think there needs to be two of Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Metallica, and Megadeth though. Replace those 4 with new bands (perhaps Machine Head and Anthrax) Actually I can't think of any more so yeah I'd replace Iron Maiden and Sabbath with an album from Machine Head - "Davidian" and one from Anthrax - "Among the Living".)

Just my opinion! Great post :)

Thanks, I ended up putting two albums of each, because they are so good albums that did not know what should occupy the top 10 kkkkkkk , but agree that machine head has fantastic albums . Just as Evile , Overkill , Annihilator...

Slayer? My eye of the tiger is raining blood. Slayer did a lot of good shit (3 songs average per album except Seasons in the abyss which was a masterpiece)
