My list:
Metallica - Master of Puppets, Metallica, Load, ReLoad, S&M
MoP has been my favourite song ever since I first heard it when I was 12. That album changed my life and fully got me into Metal, it made me know that Metal is everything for me. The Black Album was a very early album for me, helped me got into the genre and was the second album I bought. The two follow-ups are maybe not the best albums ever but when my family went to Greece and drove around the country in a car my mom had a walkman and a tape with those two albums on, which she gave me. I listened to it and loved it and this was before I got into Metal. S&M was my first live album and I'm such a sucker for both Metallica live and orchestras.
Iron Maiden - Dance of Death, Brave New World, Rock in Rio, Somewhere in Time, Killers
DoD was the very first album I bought. BNW and RiR was the first Metal I liked, the first step to a Metalhead. SiT was one of my first albums and Killers... well, it's such a magical album which was there for me many times.
Children Of Bodom - First four studio albums
All their first four albums helped me become a Metalhead and appreciate more extreme metal. These albums are classics to me and this band means so much for me.
These three bands and their albums are listed first for many reasons. They remind me of a much easier and happier time in my life. But the main reason is because they were the only, and I mean ONLY Metal, I listened too for like 4 years! I thought it didn't exist any more good bands, seriously. But then this band came:
Norther - Dreams of Endless War
Since I heard that these guys would sound like CoB there was no doubt if I should get an album. So I bought DoEW and it changed everything. It made me realise that there exist more bands and so much better Metal out there!
I guess that Norther really helped me become the person I am today, or maybe the Metalhead I am today.
Now the list goes on without any special order.
Dream Theater Images and Words, Metropolis Pt 2: Scene from a Memory
These albums made me see that Metal has so much to offer. DT played music and made me feel in a way I didn't thought was possible.
Cradle Of Filth Damnation and a Day
Because this one made me get into Black Metal. (Don't cry all Black Metal fanboys, I know it's not a Black album... at all
)Nightwish Oceanborn, Wishmaster
Got me into female vocals.

Obscura-Omnivium, I just love the drumming of this album. Blind Guardian-Tales From The Twilight World, I just love the album's atmosphere. Same with Wintersun's debut which is my favorite Extreme Power album. AC/DC-Live, first album I got.

Black Sabbath - S/T, Paranoid, Master of Reality, and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath Hanging out with my older cousins, I was introduced to Black Sabbath in the mid-70's. It didn't take long for me to develop a taste for them and hard-rock/heavy-metal. I cut my metal teeth (so to speak) on Black Sabbath. These 4 albums were in heavy rotation in various forms of media over the last 30+ years. Judas Priest - Sad Wings of Destiny (11 out of 10 - yes, this one goes to 11) This is one of the greatest albums of all time (notice I didn't say greatest metal album only - although it's that too). This is a master piece. It's extra special to me because I stumbled onto it on my own in the late 70's. I hadn't heard or read about it (remember there was no internet). I listen to it without any expectations and was completely blown away. It still holds up after all these years. Iron Maiden - S/T, Killers, Number of the Beast, and Piece of Mind These metal gems came out the 4 years I was in high school. So, they always take me back to those golden days. Not to mention they are great heavy metal albums.

Woods Of Ypres - Pursuit Of The Sun & The Allure Of The Earth I have such a strong emotional connection with this album, the lyrics, the mood, the sound, everything. Being he was from my neck of the woods ( no pun intended) makes it even stronger.

Kiss - Greatest Kiss Kiss - Psycho Circus These introduced me to music and were crucial in my metal-upbringing. Looking back on it now, they are still dear to me although my interest for Kiss faded years and years ago. Iron Maiden - Dance Of Death I liked Maiden prior to buying this album but this is where my Metal fanboyism took off! I believe this is an underrated album in every sense, a true masterpiece! HammerFall - Glory To The Brave Helloween - Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part I Edguy - Hellfire Club These "came to me" about the same time when I discovered internet was a tool to use when looking for music. Great albums. Highly possible my taste in metal and otheriwse would look quite different today without these three. Yeah, that's about it.

Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind My first metal record, I got it on my 15th birthday, and though I don't listen to it a lot these days, it's still a solid slab of metal that brings back good times. Katatonia - NIght Is The New Day/Dead End Kings The former being the first album I ever bought from my favorite band of all time, and with the latter, I have just been listening to this album non-stop since it came out, and I have gone to several shows during the tour in support of this album (even having them sign my copy of the album along with my copy of Viva Emptiness at a meet and greet early on this year). Though Viva Emptiness is my favorite Katatonia album, I've always been sentimentally biased toward the latest works personally. These 3 are the only ones I can think of at the moment.

Katatonia - Dance of December souls...pretty much the most melancholic album ever Same for Draconian's Where Lovers Mourn. Saddest moments. Also Kreator's Extreme Agressions, of course "Reign in Blood". and the first Rhapsody albums. Also "Hatebreeder" by CoB. I don't listen to these bands anymore but they have a place in my heart forever So I will definitely be returning to these albums someday ! tomorrow, next week, or years from now. amen
