I'm not a huge fan of metal. I used to be, but I guess I grew out of most of it. Also, I classify the Megadeth below as a guilty pleasure, nothing more.
Yngwie Malmsteen - Rising Force
The Mars Volta - Deloused in the Comatorium
The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute
The Mars Volta - The Bedlam in Goliath
Megadeth - Countdown to Extinction
Metallica - Ride the Lightning
Metallica - ...and Justice for All
Metallica - Master of Puppets

Thats a whole lot of favorites
Does Dethklok Count?
-
Sure, Dethklok counts, as long as you're not one of those asshats who thinks that they're/he's better than the bands they/he imitates and pays homage to. Seriously, I can't even count the amount of indie dweebs who have said that. Somehow the (poorly mixed) Dethklok CD became a smash hit amongst people who don't even like metal, and then they go and make comments like that without ever even having HEARD the bands within the death metal genre. Farkin' stupid. I guarantee that if somebody likes Dethklok, they'll like death metal.
The Dethalbum is all right, but man am I depressed about how boring Gene Hoglan's drumming is. That guy is a god among metal drummers, and you wouldn't think that if that album is the only one you've heard with him drumming.

How can there be a thread about metal and no mention of Maiden? One of my favorite albums is
Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden
Seriously, I can't get tired of that first album.
-
As awesome as Maiden is, I never really spent enough time with any one of their albums to decide if I'd consider it a top-favorite, ha. There's a lot of stuff I haven't gotten around to hearing.
-
In Reply To #8
Yeah, I wouldn't say that any of their albums are my all time favorites, but the one that definitely comes closest is Powerslave. That's a pretty good album.
-
Actually, I really oughta give Maiden more of a listen sometime soon. I love the albums of theirs I've heard--Powerslave, The Number of the Beast, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, Brave New World--but just never got too familiar with them. But damn do they know how to write high-energy songs, and Harris is such a ridiculously good bassist. Also dig Dickinson's vocals and the fact that he reaches such high notes without going falsetto. Major props for that.
-
I'll post more later, but in no specific order...
Images and Words - Dream Theatre
Heartwork - Carcass
Leviathan - Mastadon
Master of Puppets - Metallica
Kill 'Em All - Metallica
Rust in Peace - Megadeth
New Order - Testament
Black Water Park - Opeth
The Jester Race- In Flames (I hear their later stuff ain't that great, but I really like this album).
I'm still kinda a newb with Metal, but I'll use your other favorites posted as recommendations.
-

Fuckin' right you will! You'll likely enjoy Swansong since you like Heartwork. It goes a bit more in a hard rock direction, sort of hard rock meets death metal--I've heard it called "death 'n' roll." The first song makes me imagine the band members wearing gigantic cowboy hats.
Then, if you like that, there's always the album Barbed Wire Soul by Blackstar, a.k.a. Blackstar Rising. Continues that sound but is even more hard rock. Same lineup as Swansong too, though excluding the ever amazing Bill Steer.
And since you like Heartwork, it's GUARANTEED you'll enjoy Arsis' A Celebration of Guilt.

Also, listening to A Celebration of Guilt on your recomendation.

I think I'm gonna hafta add the album Sol Niger Within version 3.33 by Fredrik Thordendal's Special Defects to my list. I've had it for years, but I'm listening to it again and being reminded of how awesome it is, and version 3.33 really is better than the original version. It's just a shame Thordendal hasn't made another album like this. Every Meshuggah album after Chaosphere has been kinda "meh." Wish he'd do another crazy jazz-inspired solo album.
Just wish I had a physical copy of the album, or a better download of it where the tracks are seamless. (The whole album is basically one long 50-minute song split up into several sections.) Was lucky enough to find a copy of the original album some years ago, but I do think I like the newer version more.

Hey, what the fuck, The Last Belmont never posted in this thread. WHAT THE FUCK, YOU BUTTFUCKIN' PRICK, POST SOMETHING! >:O
:)
Been listening to the latest Transcending Bizarre? album and they're pretty nifty. Also been digging a few Maximum the Hormone songs here and there, ha ha. Basically they're Japanese nu-metal, but pretty decent. "Bikini. Sports. Ponchin" is an awesome song, with an entirely kick-ass video.
