Great lists from both of you guys!

My inner "metal definition generator" kept me from including alot of artists that I really wanted to put on the list (like Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy, Hendrix, The Who, King Crimson, etc)

I won't mess around here with hard rock obscurities. These are the ones that I would tell anybody to get first.

1. Black Sabbath-Sabotage (or Sabbath Bloody)
2. Judas Priest- Sad Wings (or Stained Class)
3. Deep Purple_ Machine Head (or Burn)
4. Rainbow Long Live R & R
5. Trouble- Manic Frustration (or s/t)
6. Amorphis- Elegy
7. Black Sabbath- Heaven & Hell
8. Tad Morose- Sender of Thoughts (or A Mended Rhyme)

That is a great album, though. I don't know that it would make my top 25 favorites, but hey, it's Shbopo's list.
