I'm sure this has been done before, but what the hell...

I'm generally not a big live album guy (I'd rather hear studio recordings) but some live discs I dig include:

Raven - LIVE AT THE INFERNO
Savatage - GHOST IN THE RUINS: A TRIBUTE TO CRISS OLIVA
Halford - LIVE INSURRECTION
W.A.S.P. - DOUBLE LIVE ASSASSINS
Overkill - WRECKING YOUR NECK and WRECKING EVERYTHING
Iron Maiden - ROCK IN RIO

Plus I've been listening to a KISS bootleg called UNCHAINED AND UNMASKED (recorded at a show I was at, on the REVENGE tour in '92) quite a bit. They had a great set list on that tour!

Top ten:

Iced Earth - Alive in Athens (1999)
Iron Maiden - Live After Death (1985)
Annihilator - Double Live Annihilation (2003)
Dio - Holy Diver Live (2006)
Judas Priest - 98 Live Meltdown (1998)
Judas Priest - Unleashed in the East (1979)
Blind Guardian - Live (2003)
Iron Maiden - Rock in Rio (2002)
Testament - Live in London (2005)
Overkill - Wrecking Everything (2002)

I really think that Iced Earth album is just perfect. Me liking the Dio one that much has a lot to do with Doug Aldrich. As for the two Priest entries... quite impossible to choose a favourite. I really like the updated sound on Live Meltdown, but "Unleashed" is still a classic.

I own only about two dozen live albums so the take is not all that comprehensive.

I'm not a big live album person and I tend to be very bias in favor of bands I love. So to me something like Death Angel's Fall From Grace is killer.

Annihilator's Double Live Annihilation and Death's Live In LA would be my current favorites.
