AC/DC - Back in Black

Dream Theater - Images and Words

Exodus - Bonded By Blood

Overkill - Overkill

Fates Warning - Awaken the Guardian

G'n'R - Appetite for Destruction

Opeth - Blackwater Park

The Exodus and Overkill selections are just guesses at this point because I am not as familiar with the entire catalog's, so there could be others I missed.

The godliness (or is it ungodliness?) that is Mercyful Fate, more than makes up for the shittiness that is Ozzy Osbourne

Excellent suggestions!

I nominate The Number of the Beast and Powerslave, Don't Break the Oath, Blizzard of Oz (I know I'll catch shit from Jeremy for that one, but I made up for it by voting for Mercyful Fate), and one that might catch everyone by surprise - Hall of the Mountain King by Savatage.

The metal staples, of course:
Metallica's first 4
Megadeth - Rust in Peace
Slayer - Reign in Blood
Black Sabbath - Paranoid

I'd also add:
Meshuggah - Destroy, Erase, Improve
Atheist - Unquestionable Presence
Testament - The Legacy
Black Sabbath - Masters of Reality
Black Sabbath - Vol. 4
Down - NOLA
Alice in Chains - Dirt

Hypocrisy and Morbid Angel also have a few albums each that I'd rank pretty damn high, but I have a hard time picking which I'd consider absolute classics...

What release or releases do u consider to be a classic?

For me it is Operation Mindcrime by Queensryche, rough cutts self titled debut & Shout at the devil by Motley Crue.
