I remember very well 20 minutes long headbang with "Kill'em all" side A, a minute pause to change a tape and more headbang at side B. That was great times! But now times changed a little bit, I cut my hair, people don't want to headbang with me anymore :( ("Ouch, my neck hurts!" :D ). I listen it too, but nowadays prefer slightly another music. Every song has its proper usage: Battery to party, Fixxxer to work, and Bleeding me to.... uhm... u know what (but its so dammn long :D)

I think Load and Reload were both too long. If they'd put the best of those songs into about 50 minutes, instead of near 80 minutes I think both albums could have been pretty good. Similar applies to St. Anger.

However, IMO, the best Metallica period was Ride the Lightning through ...And Justice for All.

Some of my favourites would be:

Judas Priest - British Steel
AC/DC - Highway to ****
Def Leppard - Pyromania

If you were referring to heavy rock in general then I could add a lot more including albums by Led Zep, Deep Purple, Rush, etc. But I wouldn't really classify them as Metal.

Iron Maiden - Fear Of The Dark

:)

EDIT: I'm watching Rock In Rio DVD, it ROCKS !

Opeth - Orchid, My arms Your hearse, Morningrise
Wages of sin - Arch Enemy
The Project Hate - Cyber Sonic Super Christ
Bethzaida - Nine Worlds
Tristania - Beyond the Veil
Samael - Passage
Rotting Christ - A Dead Poem
Epoch of Unlight - Caught in the unlight
Dark Tranquillity - Projector
Godgory - Way beyond
Witchery - Dead, Hot and Ready
Dimmu Borgir - Spiritual Black Dimensions
At the Gates - Slaughter of the soul

Rammstein - Mutter
Rammstein - Herzeleid
Megadeth - Rust in Peace
Mudvayne - The End of All Things to Come
Iron Maiden - Fear of the Dark
Iron Maiden - Killers
Metallica - Load
Metallica - Reload
Metallica - St. Anger
Metallica - Creeping Death / Jump in the Fire
Offspring - Splinter
Offspring - Smash
AC/DC - Razor's Edge
AC/DC - BallBreaker
Marilyn Manson - Mechanical Animals
Guns n Roses - Spaghetti Incident
Guns n Roses - Use Your Illusion I and II

That's what I can think of right now

Now this is my kind of thread! :)

Opeth - Still life (And pretty much everything else they have done)
Grimfist - Ghouls of Grandeur
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Windir - 1184
Satyricon - Nemesis Divina
Vintersorg - Till Fjälls
