 Classic Metal Albums Of Forever

*** READ ME *** This list is about the greatest metal albums of all-time, from all sub-genres and all countries. You won't see bands like Deep Purple, Rush, BOC, Zeppelin, etc., nor will you see bands like Tool, Rage ATM, Melvins and Soundgarden. While I love many of those bands, my definition of metal does not include them.

1.Black Sabbath - Paranoid
2.Metallica - Ride The Lightning
3.Iron Maiden - Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son
4.Death - Symbolic
5.Mercyful Fate - Don't Break The Oath
