    I guess the question is why did you stop if you were such a huge fan back in the day?

    I have most of the top 50 from that list so I must be in somewhat agreement. The second half of the list contains a lot of bands I just have no interest in (but perhaps should).

    Of course one of my all time favorites Sad Wings of Destiny is apparently off the list as it came from '76 or '78 or some such.

    Dream Theatre: Images and Words I would put waaaaay higher, and also include it's successor Awake.

    No KISS. Badlands, Lynch Mob, Dokken, Blue Murder...this list can't be taken seriously.

    Since when were Living Color metal? Helmet? Rage Against The Machine?

    Too 'proggy'?

    I probably enjoy those albums more today then I did when they came out. At least that's my perception now.

    Looks like a random list of albums spurted off in about 10 minutes because it was the end of the week and someone needed an article.

    I agree with the article though, those bands you've listed are not Metal, IMO opinion of course. On my DAP and playlists they are filed under Hard Rock.

    When tagging bands I do a lot of hand wringing and agonizing on how to label bands and many fall somewhere in between my broad catagories of Hard Rock and Metal.

    I'd put Dancing Undercover on a metal list before I'd ever include any Slayer album.

    In about 1986, my focus shifted really quickly and hard towards other music. I don't really know why; it just happened. :) I was never "turned off" to HM or hard rock or anything like that.

    How criminally absurd: no Wolf Hoffman on that list...

    ...and as Iago remarked when contemplating seduction techniques by which he might make the beast with two backs in association with the comely Desdemona, (during the 2008 remastered Act II, Scene iii of Into Othello Ride) "sorry, babe, no Wolf Hoffmam, no Metal."

    No Remorse is a best of compilation. The list would have been better served with Ace Of Spades or No Sleep

    Glaring omission, as is Rainbow Rising.

    Some real cr*p in that list just so they can have lots from the least 20 years included.

    No one's list is perfect (not even mine).

    Well, it is to you. Or darn near.

    It's somewhat surprising the list doesn't have Metal Health in the top 10, let alone on the list. That album was the first metal album to go #1 on Billboard, had a couple top 40 hits, and was otherwise a solid album that played a pivotal role in making the general public actually care about these kinds of lists... I guess the purported reason is that one of the dozens of death metal albums then wouldn't make it and ruin their street cred. Other notable omissions: Appetite for Destruction, Back in Black, Hysteria. Even Slippery When Wet was considered borderline metal/pop metal at the time, and is a classic album. Sad Wings of Destiny was another surprising absence.

    I agree. No band @Curveboy listed is metal. KISS dabbled in it but they're still not a metal band.

    PS Halford's list was pretty lame. Sorry.

    See, I think Lars' list is better but apparently every artist that puts together a list has to include newer crap like System of a Down or Slipknot. I don't like either of those bands much. The first Slipknot album had a few moments that were very metal and I like the first Korn record okay, but, still, if I see those band's name I'm immediately getting skeptical about a list.
