I don't know that much about metal but it seems like a very good list. I'm glad to see that Never Say Die! is high up there as I think it's underrated. MQ2: 1. Volume 4 - Black Sabbath 2. Ride The Lightning - Metallica 3. Master Of Puppets - Metallica 4. Rust In Peace - Megadeth 5. Number Of The Beast - Iron Maiden 6. Sabotage - Black Sabbath 7. The Downward Spiral - Nine Inch Nails 8. Troublegum - Therapy? 9. Rage Against The Machine - Rage Against The Machine 10. Reign In Blood - Slayer MQ3: I've been meaning to make a similar list on RYM too but I can never decide on the order, it just keeps changing. Anyway, there's a lot of albums on your list that I haven't listened to yet but I love the majority of the one's that I have heard. Overall, I'd say it's a great list.
