Pink Floyd and Yes aren't here, King Crimson is, so I'll include King Crimson

Immortal Album Rankings Just did a month-long binge and song-by-song rating on Immortal's discography. Remarkably consistent band, great workout music. Even their 'weak' albums are good.

Mixed Discography Ranking - Maiden, Priest, And Sabbath This is the most unquestionably difficult ranking I could undertake. The # of albums I consider borderline flawless from each of these bands is ridiculous. Over a dozen albums from these 3 bands have legitimate arguments to be considered the greatest traditional heavy metal album of all time.
I have a few rankings that are likely hot takes here ** Yes, I like Dance of Death more than most folks. Title track and Paschendale are both top 10 Maiden songs, and Montsegur is only a small step behind that. Those 3 songs are better than anything on Brave New World to me, but the rest of BNW is better and higher quality. ** Yes I kinda like Turbo. It's silly but it's fun and the guitar work and Rob's vocals are absolutely stellar. That kinda sucks about Ram It Down, it's got some of Priests' best lead guitar work and I don't think Rob ever sounded better, but dear lord, some of those songs... As for the top 6 albums here, honestly put them in whatever order you want. They're that close to me and mood depending it could change

Ranking The Big 4 Discographies my ranking of the Big 4s Full-Length albums
Near the bottom , the rankings get a bit more 'interchangeable' because I can't be bothered to specifically discern the difference between turd flavors

Top 25 Classic Death Metal Debuts 3 caveats
1. Death metal album (not just debut from band that became death metal, like Carcass) 2. Released calendar year 1999 or earlier 3. By a band with more than 1 album (1-album wonder list is elsewhere) Yes, there are a few bands conspicuous in their absence. For whatever reason, I just never really got into them. I don't dislike them, but I don't regard them as highly as most folks do EDIT - I stayed away from death/thrash combo albums, more for convenience's sake. So Malleus Maleficarum, Illusions, Seven Churches, Serpent Temptation, etc are not on this list, but they'll be on the next list I make (top 25 Brutal thrash/death-thrash albums)

Immolation Album Rankings Immolation is my favorite death metal band by a pretty comfortable margin, so I figured I'd throw my rankings out here.
Note - there are a few album placements here that are NOTABLY different from the average Immolation fan

Fave BM (and BM-adjacent) Albums * Updating this as I get around to doing song-by-song on RYM.
* 1 album per band * limiting this to actual black metal releases, as opposed to releases by bands that were, at one time, black metal. >> Some bands really do incorporate a lot of both death metal or doom (or avant garde or folk, etc) and black metal in their albums, so I consider them to be 'black metal adjacent' even if it might not be 'purely black metal'

Ranking the One-Album Wonders in Metal Some of the best metal albums ever released have been by bands that only had one full length release.
List is (and probably always will be) a constant work-in-progress. If you know of a "one-and-done" metal band/album that isn't on my list, feel free to recommend
