Metal On Metal: The Hitchhiker's Guide To Heavy Metal by 
MW19704U 
Here´s my "Hitchhiker's Guide To Heavy Metal", a collection of some of the most influential and important albums of the genre. I decided not to feature Hard Rock giants like Deep Puple, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Def Leppard, Kiss or Progressive Rock Gods Rush. I also decided to feature ONLY ONE ALBUM PER ARTIST to show the variety of all the sub genres like NWOBHM, Thrash, Death Metal, Black Metal, Power Metal or Progressive Metal. I hope you like the list and give me some response or ideas about which bands and albums should be featured.
