Top ten metal albums

Here is the list of the top ten metal albums of all time according to Metal-Rules.com, and there are some very good bands on the list, check it out and tell be what you think!

10. Judas Priest- Screaming For Vengeance

This is the one Judas Priest album that you have to have according to most metal heads. Priest is one of the leading bands in the metal movement, and by far one of the greatest bands in music history. They're hell bent for leather, and they kick off our list at number 10.

9. Slayer- Seasons in the Abyss

Considered to be Slayer's last classic album, Seasons in the Abyss is one of the ultimate speed metal albums. Kerry King on lead guitar never stops the action and with songs like War Ensable, and the title track it's easy to see why it made the list at number 9.

8. Dio- Holy Diver

Alright, if you don't know this album, or at least this song you're not a true metal fan. Ronnie James Dio, and Holy Diver are two elements that without, the metal world wouldn't be the same. put up your devil horns it's Dio!

7. Iron Maiden- Peace of Mind

Ah Iron Maiden, a true die hard metal band till the end. These guys are so metal they make up three songs on this list! Not hard to see why when you have a voice like Bruce Dickinson in the band.

6. Iron Maiden- Powerslave

Yes, two times in a row. I told you these guys were the real deal. After Number of the Beast and Piece of Mind, Iron Maiden was looking for more and they got what they needed with Powerslave.

5. Slayer- Reign in Blood

No not Raining Blood, although a common misconception, the album is called Reign in Blood. Perhaps the definitive Slayer album with "godly" songs like Raining Blood and Angel of Death.

4. AC/DC- Back In Black

This is an album everyone knows, metal fan or not. If you listen to music at all or have ever been to a party you've heard this CD. AC/DC's first CD without singer Bon Scott who had died previously. The band thought they were finished but Brian Johnson saved the band and did a great job at keeping them a float with Back in Black.

3. Metallica- Ride the Lightning

Finally some recognition! Metallica's second album Ride the Lightning is nothing but metal. Considered the bridge between Kill Em' All and Master of Puppets, with songs like Fade to Black and Creeping Death

2. Iron Maiden- Number of the Beast

Okay, they have to stop doing this. On the list once again and with the number two spot! Number of the Beast. There's no doubt about it, Iron Maiden are true innovators at what they do, and are one of the most recognizable bands out there.

1. Metallica- Master of Puppets

Can you believe it? Who knew Metallica was metal enough to top the list of most metal albums of all time? *Sarcasm Well if you don't believe it than you obviously haven't heard this album. Considered by thousands to be the best Metallica album Master of Puppets is pure anger, rage, and hate. True metal.
