Favourite Metal Albums
by conallmalone 
Very subjective what metal is, leaving out Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Motorhead (most arguable considering some of the picks), AC/DC, Thin Lizzy and the likes as I am not sure if it's metal. Appetite for Destruction and Rage Against the Machine are in there but may be removed in the future, same as Dirt, Angel Dust (I prefer The Real Thing but doesn't ring right metal in my head).
Work in progress at the moment, based off an argument with a friend, putting lesser metal lower even if I prefer the album and trying to space out artists so it's not all Metallica
