Welcome metal lovers!!!!
I am also a metal lover but I love too many genres and couldn't accommodate metal albums in my top 10 except AiC who were really the successors to Sabbath and had little in common with the rest of the Seattle Four. My all time favourite musician is Ilayaraja but I left him out for a pure Western music oriented list.

Never heard of the pre sabbath band, are they similar to Sabbath?

Wow, the whiteness is blinding! Haha!
The only album I ever really consider to be my favorite is Aquemini by Outkast. The entire album is full of great songs...not a bad song on there.

Honorable mention:
Deliverance - Bubba Sparxx

I'm more of a favorite song kinda guy. Those were the only two albums I ever bought that i was happy with.

That ganster song from that Outkast album is great. In general I dont listen much to hip hop. I can like 90s rnb like Aahliya.
The newest D'Angelo album is a masterpiece, he has a Prince quitarist playing and every single song is special. Different from the hot Voodoo album.

I do, I prefer the anarcho stuff like Crass, Chron Gen etc but again it was more singles. I still think Dischord is the greatest label that exists.

And I just realized I did not include Dead Kennedys Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables which is a great album.

Prefer the sequel. Can still remember my Dad being so hyped about getting it. Heard it about a billion times in his car in the end. Then all of a sudden I started liking it.

Can't find the whole album to post here. :/

This is the most memorable tune apart from the bell. Used to make us all laugh. lol

Love TB 2 as well-Trevor Horn is one of the best producers ever. TB 1 is just so amazing though, as is Ommadawn-the first world music album by a white artist? Wish he had left TB alone after 1992, 3 is pretty bad, the 40th anniversary with John Cleese narrating is a waste of time.

A reggae album that has gotten very little attention. (Throw Down Your Arms) A classic to me.
And great with female voices as the reggae movement tend to be pretty downgrading on women.
