Easily my favorite metal album - any genre.

ENTER TEH STARGAAAAAAAAAAATE







ENTER IT

yeah everyone has recommended different Rage albums, lol... hmm, but the ones mentioned thusfar (including mine) happen to be the ones I would recommend if I had a whole list, so umm.. just pick one.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'm starting to get an idea of what to put at the front of my list.

Scorpions-Taken By Force- this album is sort of preview of what the Scorps would sound like in the 80's, great songs, great ballads (before the term power ballads existed) and Uli Jon Roth is one hell of guitar playing. This album is my favorite by this band, class act all the way.


Voi Vod-The Outer Limits-One of the most original metal recordings in the long history of the genre plus extra points for covering Pink Floyd's Nile Song.

you are right yet again Manny. Nice calls.

Rage - Unity

Jorn - Out To Every Nation

Pagan's Mind - Celestial Entrance

Morgana Lefay - Grand Materia

Twisted Sister - GET THEM ALL!

Accept - Anything with UDO singing

Vanden Plas - Far Off Grace

Threshold - Psychedelicatessen

Candlemass - Anything with Messiah Marcolin singing (maybe start with Nightfall?)

Angra - Holy Land (old Angra) Rebirth (new Angra)

Rage - Black In Mind (this is where I started. Then go for the older releases)

Raven - Wiped Out

Sacred Reich - The American Way

Scorpions - Blackout

Tad Morose - Leaving The Past Behind

Twisted Sister - You Can't Stop Rock N' Roll. What Manny said.

Accept - Restless and Wild

Voivod - Nothingface (but if you don't want to pay that much I say go with War and Pain or Killing Technology)

Candlemass - Nightfall

Forbidden - Twisted Into Form

Virgin Steele - House Of Atreus Act II

Accept: balls to the wall (wow)
Iron Savior: condition red (one hell of a power metal delivery)

I'll give you 2 of my choices per band in order you should get.

Twisted Sister: UNDER THE BLADE
Accept: STAYING A LIFE
Voivod: WAR AND PAIN

Forbidden: LIVE DYNAMO
Iron Savior: UNIFICATION
Virgin Steele : NOBLE SAVAGE

Only ones I can really comment on:

Rage - Execution Guaranteed
Sacred Reich - The American Way
Forbidden - Twisted Into Form
Voivod - Killing Technology

Apart from recently getting Accept-Balls To The Wall I just ordered from Amazon:

Arena-Immortal? (everything else-accept Contagion which I have-is too expensive and rare)
Twisted Sister-You Can't Stop Rock N' Roll
Lefay-Seventh Seal
Candlemass-Nightfall
Pagan's Mind-Celestial Entrance
Morgana Lefay-Past Present, & Future (cheapest of the Morgana)

And not mentioned in this thread but since it's a classic I figured I should get, I ordered:

Overkill-Horroscope

Those are two of my all time favorites right there!!!

And if you like Candlemass' "Nightfall", get "Ancient Dreams" next. It's along the same lines ... but even better!

Don't listen to him, get Epicus Doomicus Metallicus next! I love Ancient Dreams, but it's the weakest of the first four discs imo. Nightfall is perfect though, but just not as perfect as Epicus Doomicus Metallicus.

Sacred Reich - Ignorance
Scorpions - Greatest Hits
Twisted Sister - You Can't Stop Rock and Roll
Accept - Metal Heart
Voivod - Rrroooaaaarrr
Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
Forbidden - Forbidden Evil

I will probably do so seeing as it's been mentioned about as much as Nightfall (I went w/ Nightfall because I remember almost picking it up about a decade ago at Best Buy-back when they would carry such an album).

Celestial entrance is indeed fabulous
