95/100

From LedZep 05/26/2017 22:01

This site misses metal charts so much I gave you 95 without even thinking about diversity or shit like that. My recommendation is Judas Priest, Sad Wings of Destiny is really legendary

From Ben4 04/20/2017 18:50

Personally wouldn't put Heaven and Hell above Paranoid, and I would put Leprosy higher, and I think Rust in Peace deserves a spot for sure. But good list overall.
