good selections - I think Images and Words is a great idea, for example - but perhaps a little lacking in revelation. Plus there's always the issue that "people who aren't into metal" don't all listen to the same kind of music
popular because they're palatable to more than just hardcore fans and they have a lot of reach and listenability, so that's what you want, but on the other hand, it does make the list a very obvious one. Not to say there aren't
It was kind of a funny list because it was basically a selection of 20 of the most popular/standard metal albums, particularly of the last couple of decades, and on the one hand that makes perfect sense because those albums ARE so
Also I think the Mojo list should have more accessible bands on the list. Not really stuff like Pantera. Usually a band for starters get people more into metal as they go on.
