It's shocking how Lake Of Tears - Forever Autumn, Running Wild - Black Hand Inn, and Metal Church - Metal Church aren't in the top 200, and I believe your right about Blue Öyster Cult - Secret Treaties that deserves a spot in the top 200, it's an overlooked classic!

Forever Autumn and Black Hand Inn are both in the Top 200 as of today -- and have been over the last couple of years if I recall correctly.
Metal Church... not thaaat great in the end, if you ask me.

I've noticed in recent weeks alot of change in the bottom part of the top 200, I can see an album there one day that won't be there the next, and one thing I keep noticing is the top position going back and forth between Symbolic and Rust In Peace.

Yeah, especially the latter has a lot to do with how voting is abused on the all-time popular releases and how the votes are cleaned from it every now and then by staff.

100% to those three!

There are a lot of albums that should be in the Top200, but I would also disagree with half of the list (especially with Helloween and Grave Digger - IMHO they had far better records).
