You're not missing anything, don't worry.

What about 'Operation: Mindcrime'? I shall hope everyone has that. That is the one single thing I have found in metal that I can agree on in terms of, everyone says it's objectively great, everyone should have it, etc.

I do habe Operation: Mindcrime. I might be the only one saying that I do not like it at all. Tried to listen to it a few times, than gave up. Totally overated for me.

Judas Priest - Screaming for Vengeance
I like Priest a lot, but except for the opener this one gives me nothing.

Metallica - Master of Puppet

Have it, it is okay, but mostly it is Damage, Inc., Battery and the title track for me. Don' t care much for the other songs.

No Guns'n Roses for me, since I like only You could be mine.
No Pink Floyd since I usually fall asleep when I listen to Pink Floyd ... . No Megadeth, I only like a few songs.

I don't have Led Zep IV. Just II and Physical Graffiti (and a compilation).

I guess we're down to everyone at least at some point of their lives owning an Iron Maiden album.

I actually own all of those with the exception of Images & Words.

Not quite metal but

Rush - Moving Pictures


I own

Back in Black
Heaven and Hell
Screaming for Vegeance
Balls to the wall

Alright, I went through the thread and the only two albums that have been mentioned more than once that no-one has claimed to never owning are:

Judas Priest - Screaming for Vengeance
Van Halen - VH1

Right now I actually doubt everyone has owned both of them at some point. But, just to keep the thread somewhat legitimate.... here they are for you to shoot down.

Also mentioned only once (PLUS me owning a copy), and not 'disowned' by anyone are:

Accept - Balls to the Wall
Rush - Moving Pictures

I guess if we're drawing any conclusions, it's that metal fans really don't flock as much as believed. There's no 'Holy Book' of metal. At least not yet...

I am from the Chicago area so you're going to find some Doom Metal CDs and Industrial Metal CDs in the same collection. I've been listening to a lot of demos these days too and believe me if they got in the right audience -- they will take off huge. Earthen Grave actually got noticed by WGN.
