Pantera - Power Metal

Malmsteen- Fire & Ice

Fire & Ice, that's one I should've mentioned as well! One of my favorite Yngwie albums along with Marching Out and Alchemy.

Celtic Frost- Cold Lake

true, i forgot that one.

Nuclear Assault-Something Wicked

I guess I'm late to the party. One that I can think of that hasn't been mentioned is Kreator's Endorama.

YES

I love Youthanasia, not thrash but a great metal album. Cryptic has some good stuff, I actually listen to it fairly regularly.

BRUCE DICKINSON:BALLS TO PICASO
POISON:NATIVE TONGUE

Good call with that Poison. That album has one of my favorite Poison songs on it, "Seven Days Over You".

Native Tongue is the best thing Poison ever did.

Definitely!

I dont think NATIVE TONGUE is the best they did but its far better then everything they released after it.

Both excellent choices, if the word mature can be applied to a Poison album this would be the one (the only one)

Aerosmith - Night in the Ruts
Aerosmith - Rock in a Hard Place
Ted Nugent - Nugent
Ted Nugent - Little Miss Dangerous
Thin Lizzy - Chinatown
Thin Lizzy - Renegade
Molly Hatchet - everything with Phil McCormack on vocals except Southern Rock Masters which is weak.

Definitly agree about Rocks its a great album

Youthanasia is awesome IMO

I would say to some extent Iron Maiden - Somewhere in Time. Not that it's considered bad, but I think it gets a lot less credit than it actually deserves, I think it's a brilliant album.

DEATH ANGEL-FROLIC THROUGH THE PARK
TROUBLE-THE SKULL
SLAYER-DIVINE INTERVENTION
IMMORTAL-DAMNED IN BLACK

All those are classic albums and I have never seen anyone not like them.

Good for you.I have seen/read/heard detractors from numerous sources,that's why I listed them including a Metal Maniacs magazine review from early '95 claiming "Divine" was a copy of their earlier albums.There is a lot of sentiment among many thrash fans that "Frolic" was a radical departure from the blinding thrash of "Ultra-Violence"( see the review @ www.classicthrash.com)."The Skull" is generally accepted as a dissapointment among knowledgeable Trouble fans after the brilliance of "Psalm 9". "I remember people thought this album was disappointing when it was first release." -Scott Waters Nolifetilmetal.com."Damned In Black" is not nearly as highly regarded as its brilliant predecessor "At the Heart of Winter".

Black Sabbath-Forbidden
Megadeth-Risk
Motley Crab
Megadeth-Cryptic Writings
Metallica-Load
Metallica-ReLoad
Extreme-Waiting For The Punchline

Metal Church - Hanging in the Balance: I've not heard terrible reviews about it; it's just I never hear anyone mention it! I really like that disc! ( TERRIBLE cover art though ).
