@@jensknudsen4222 This album is way too underrated. Awesome Rodney Matthews artwork as well!
2021: Helloween - Helloween
I always feel bad for being unable to grow my hair like traditional metalheads or most of the metal youtubers. Beimg an Indian, its so hard to convince my parents to grow my hair or even wear complete black 🥺...But you - my man gives me satisfaction that having short hair doesn't really matter..
Yeah hair, nationality, clothes nothing matters the one thing is that we all love metal 🤟
Here from India, but I kind of got the benefit of the Religion I was born in: *Sikhism,* (although I'm an Agnostic now) so I got Hair down to my Hips lol
You know, there's not a single album on here that I didn't already know of, but there are a few I don't really appreciate. Just hearing you talk about these albums so passionately makes me want tl go listen to them with a fresh set of ears and a different perspective. Great video as always. Cheers, questy!
Well, that's an awesome and unique idea for a video! Cheers!🤘
Tiamat's Wildhoney for 1994
Agalloch's The Mantle for 2002

I'm going to make a list for this. It's going to take while. I just want to communicate a possibly unpopular opinion. Metal was not the most metal thing in the 70s especially the early 70s. Prog Rock and Jazz Fusion from that time was much heavier, faster, and overall contains more aspects of metal than metal itself.

Generally I agree with a lot but the 70’s were baked off way too generic. What about Led Zeppelin, The Who, Status Quo, Scorpions, Van Halen.... so many others to name... Sorry, but those artists deserve a lot more credit. I am aware that finding Metal as it is known today is a bit hard but what was considered Proto-Metal today is worth a listen.

I'm just waiting for 1986. That should be a ride.....
Edit: Pretty pissed about that choice. However, I do remember that album fondly - I was 13. The clincher was 1994's choice. It sounded like a dog turd on a turntable, but I LOVED that album. None of my friends did at all. Not even a tiny bit. Glad to see it here. Hey, opinions are like assholes and everyone thinks yours stinks.

Somewhere in time over Reign In Blood, Master Of Puppets and Peace Sells? wow!
I am a maiden fanboy so the choice is easy but take them away and it’ll be much harder to choose as all three of them are just as good as each other
@@Questformetal Fair enough, maybe i'll give it another listen, Maiden was my first concert back in 82' but i' admit i had lost a bit of interest in them by 86" Piece Of Mind is still my favorite, perfect album.
Master of Puppets has to be the winner for 86 but I do understand you love Maiden

Scar Sighter 🤝🤝🤝
I love Powerslave (title track and Rime are absolute epics), but as a whole album, Ride the Lightning is miles ahead.
Same goes for 1986. Master of Puppets is much better than Somewhere in Time - which also sounds extremely dated with all the synths
Personally I would swap 1986 with Metallica's Master of Puppets. The only bad thing about that album is it ends imo
_D r i n k y d r i n k s_
I laughed and snorted a little when the third whale album in a row showed up. Whales = great metal albums!
Well they are pretty heavy. 🐋
It is so unsettling watching you count down this evil collection of albums with a pretty floral girly painting behind you.
Girly paintings are true evil
i am way too ignorant to make this list lmao

Machine Head >>>>> Vol 4
I don't think he's a fan of Alice in chains. Alice was a metal band never was grunge but he had a grunge vocal coach like Cornell etc ....
Painkiller >>>>> Rust in piece
No Metallica albums = legit list
I sometimes feel like people exclude them because they’re MetallicA.
I’m a big fan of MetallicA and metal in general and I can understand why black, load, reload, and st anger aren’t here.
Like Black is metal but a lot of hard rock, load/reload are blues, and I don’t think I can say st anger should be here on its reputation alone. I love every album but the older stuff definitely deserves respect to be on lists like this
Kill ‘em all revolutionized thrash metal
Ride the lighting had one of, if not the metal ballad.
Master is puppets is fucking master of puppets
And justice may suffer in the bass department but the songs on their own carry that album.
I love other metal bands to but MetallicA despite being the most popular metal band, get excluded because of that in my opinion.
To someone who doesn’t know a thing about metal maybe
