Metal community, all subgenres welcome.
It only seemed fitting to have Lemmy himself as the icon.

Hmmmm that's tough.
And I don't think I can properly rank them because I'm weird about ranking things. But:
Master of Puppets
Somewhere in Time
...And Justice for All
Appetite for Destruction
Fate of Norns
That would do for top 5, yeah.
After that,
Dimmu Borgir, In Sorte Diaboli
Kataklysm, Goliath
Dio, Holy Diver Pantera, Vulgar Display Metallica, 72 seasons
Yeah, I think that's a solid list based on a combination of just liking the albums and the fact that I prefer to listen to them in their entirety rather than limiting myself to a few songs off of them.
Which, I could probably do 20 by that standard, and more than that if I included metal adjacent albums/bands like ac/dc. You know, the ones that ride right on that edge between metal and hard rock.
And, truth is, when it comes to Metallica and Amon Amarth, all of their albums are like that at least sometimes. Like, the load/reload albums aren't where I always want to hear the whole album, but I often do. Same with Maiden there.
I'm not saying I don't have favorite songs off of those albums, I do. It's just that I always want to hear the rest after I hear those lol. Justice and Master in specific, it's hard to not want to enjoy them the way i first heard them, with the songs flowing into one another as the album plays.
