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

1.Black Sabbath - Paranoid
2.Judas Priest - Painkiller
3.Iron Maiden - Powerslave
4.Black Sabbath - Sabotage
5.Judas Priest - Screaming For Vengeance

Top 10 Metal Albums I Have That I Don't Thoroughly Enjoy

In my previous list I was critical of MS being flooded with negative comments. Now I've decided to vent about albums that I don't quite enjoy. Ah, the hypocrisy! But this one has a slight twist. I actually have these albums. Yes. I went to a record shop; parted ways with my hard earned cash and made a place for them in my collection. In most cases I went in knowing full well the critical reviews they received. But why? I am a completist. Bands love a fan like me as once I get into them I chase all their musical output; not just the acclaimed material. What's more I listen to the albums in chronological order in their entirety. So here are the top 10 albums I can't stand that I still own and listen to because...weirdness.

1.Korn - The Path Of Totality
2.Limp Bizkit - Results May Vary
3.Slayer - Undisputed Attitude
4.Discharge - Grave New World
5.Destruction - The Least Successful Human Cannonball

Favorite Black Sabbath Albums

This is my complete favorite list of Sabbath albums. Yes, it might be a little bit controversial due to the fact that I appreciate a little bit more the Tony Martin works (hence, Headless Cross is my no.1 favorite), but I strongly believe that the later Sabbath catalogue is very underrated and underapreciated. I do not get even up until today the whole Ozzy hype since stuff like Vol. 4 or Sabotage were just boring and even the other albums weren't that great either (except a couple of songs). In my opinion, the Dio and Martin years (well maybe except for Forbidden) are the best years for Sabbath. If I were to rank the best vocalists this band had, Ronnie James Dio will take the crown with Tony Martin close by while Ozzy would be only the 3rd in my rankings.

1.Black Sabbath - Headless Cross
2.Black Sabbath - Paranoid
3.Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
4.Black Sabbath - Heaven And Hell
5.Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
