Since I did a list of albums from every year since I was born, here is my list of albums of my faves before the year of my birth, and will go back to 1969 at the very earliest. Some of the early ones won't be on Metal Storm, since much of the 70s albums are Prog.

1.King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King
2.Genesis - Trespass
3.Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV
4.Genesis - Foxtrot
5.Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

A List Of Great Debut Albums

A lot of bands have great debut albums. Obviously this list is just a fraction of all the great debut albums out there, but it's a start. I'll keep expanding this list continuously, so all suggestions are welcome (granted they are featured on MS). All the albums here are ranked according to genre and then alphabetically. If a certain album belongs to the (in your opinion) wrong genre, then definitely let me know.

1.
2.Aarni - Bathos
3.Arcturus - Aspera Hiems Symfonia
4.Diablo Swing Orchestra - The Butcher's Ballroom
5.Sadness - Ames De Marbre

My share of experime(n)tal music and other innovative stuff

I wanted to create my personal Top List for a long time and to be honest, I always considered it as some kind of cool Prog Metal, Avantgarde Metal mix. As you can see, it has become a bit more complicated. So finally, there are Unexpect and Pain Of Salvation next to Bands like Kamelot and Savatage. Also, some Non-Metal Bands got involved like Jeff Buckley and Oingo Boingo. But could you imagine how PoS would sound without Jeffs influence? Or what would have become of Mr. Bungle if it weren't for Danny Elfman and Oingo Boingo?!

1.Pain Of Salvation - The Perfect Element, Part I
2.Kalisia - Cybion
3.Savatage - Streets: A Rock Opera
4.Dog Fashion Disco - Adultery
5.Arcturus - The Sham Mirrors
