Wow, I love Metal Church, especially The Dark. Awesome album. As for Black Sabbath, my favorites are the the Ozzy era albums. If I had to choose 1, it would probably be Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. I also really like Headless Cross.

Accept are also very good. Will also go with Balls to the Wall.

I would have liked to include Death- The Sound of Perseverance, but will probably be called out on that one for obvious reasons.

Iron Maiden - The Prophecy

1. Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind

2. Helloween - Keeeper of the Seven Key part 2

3. Metallica - Ride the Lightning

4. King Diamond - The Eye

5. Judas Priest - Painkiller

6. Trouble - Manic Frustration

7. Slayer - Reign in Blood

8. Manowar - Kings on Metal

9. Megadeth - Rust in Piece

10. Merciful Fate - Mellisa

I can't wait for Helloween's self-titled release in June. Here is a taste of things to come:

Iron Maiden, Helloween, Black Sabbath, Metallica and Death.

Manowar is awesome. I see Fighting the World and Kings of Metal are not mentioned here- weird as they are also very good.

This is my 2nd favorite band after Maiden. Both Keepers albums are masterpieces. Keepers 3 is good, but not close to the other 2. Master of the Rings is very good and a return to form. They have many awesome albums: The Time of the Oath, Better Than Raw, The Dark Ride, Keepers Legacy, Rabbit Don't Come Easy, Gambling with the Devil, 7 Sinners, Straight Out of Hell and My God-given Right. The new self titled album drops on the 18th of June and looks to be another stellar album featuring Michael Kiske and Kai Hansen. Go check 2 new songs on Youtube. Skyfall and Fear the Fallen.
