All time best metal records?

I am slightly hesitant to give a recent album (2004) such high praise, but I keep putting it in the CD player at home, it has stayed on my iPod and it was the first album that came to mind when this thread was re-animated.Zark said:Mastadon ehh. Someone else here was telling me I'd like them a lot. Time to do some music shopping
That said, you'll probably buy it and hate it.
I was rocking to

lamb of god - as the palaces burn
killswitch engage - alive or just breathing
as i lay dying - frail words collapse
unearth - the oncoming storm
shadows fall - the war within
and the BEST metal/hardcore artist/album in my opinion:
since the flood - valor and vengeance
EDIT - not really all time, but favorite at the moment...

Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime
Again, your kidding right?
no, the only metal records i had in high school were blue oyster cult and that was a bit different from the straight stereotypical metal, mainly due to Richard Meltzer's influence (at least on the 1st 4 or so records). my brother had some kiss, aerosmith and a sabbath record or two (probably some ac/dc and i know he had _double live gonzo_) but i stayed away from the 'heavy metal parking lot' scene. in high school i discovered the simple joys of punk rock, so all that leather posturing was rather silly from my viewpoint.
the 'metal' i've got and listen to now is sludgier, slower stuff. bands like Earth, Sleep, Sunn 0)))) and all their ilk. i still dig sabbath and BOC a lot. the 'mic down the throat' singing style doesn't attract me to any of the new metal stuff (w/ the exception of High on Fire; _Blessed Black Wings_ is a pretty decent record).

My favorite Heavy Metal is by song instead of album. Sure, there are many
great albums out there, but I feel that certain individual songs from my
earlier years set the stage for what was to be. These seminal songs all
helped Heavy Metal along in one form or another:
My Generation - The Who
Think about 1964 and listen to this song. When teens in the USA were
being fed Pat Boone and other poppy garbage, The Who were blowing the roofs
off of venues and smashing the crap out of their equipment everywhere they
went. Pete Townsend brought feedback into the limelight with this
particular tune.
Stroll On - The Yardbirds
Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page jamming on a song that was later covered by
Aerosmith as "Train Kept A Rollin". Their dual lead guitar attack was
followed by many, most notably Judas Priest in the early years of Metal.
VooDoo Chile (Slight Return) - The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Not acknowledging Jimi's influence on what was to become Metal would be
ridiculous. VooDoo Chile is the heaviest of his early offerings, running
the full gamut of guitar virtuosity.
Journey To The Center Of The Mind - The Amboy Dukes
The first recording with any airplay that featured a young Ted Nugent on
guitar. Ted's playing on this song goes way beyond the psychedelic title.
Also, the "galloping" beat of this song was adopted by many who followed in
other early stages of the Metal genre.
Dazed And Confused - Led Zeppelin
Not the heaviest of Led Zeppelin's offerings, but definitely the anthemic
knockout punch ending to side one of their first album.
Helter Skelter - The Beatles
Who would have thought a song about kids playing on a slide could be so
heavy? Heavy enough to be misinterpreted and adopted by one of the USA's
most notorious psycho killers of all time, Charlie Manson.
Born To Be Wild - Steppenwolf
The lyrics, "Heavy metal thunder". Nuff said there.
Bad Motor Scooter - Montrose
Ronnie Montrose making his guitar sound like a speeding motorcycle going
through the gears and being backed by Sammy Hagar was very heavy for its
time. A fast-paced early offering in the genre by a band that cut two great
albums, "Montrose" and "Paper Money".
Burn - Deep Purple
Smoke On The Water was heavy, but Burn was incendiary. Ritchie Blackmore
showing why he was so successful with DP and Rainbow, the latter featuring
Ronnie James Dio.
Modern Times Rock N Roll - Queen
Yeah, Queen! If you have never heard this song, don't squack about this
selection. For 1973, it covers all of the early metal bases with a very
heavy beat/sound and Brian May completely shredding on the Red Special
guitar that he and his dad built from scratch.
Iron Man - Black Sabbath
There's even Metal in the title! I could probably name two dozen Sabbath
songs that were just as important, but how many of those other songs were
the first riff learned by so many burgeoning metal guitar players?
Back In The Saddle - Aerosmith
A great heavy twist on an old cowboy song written by Gene Autry. I feel
it's one of Aerosmith's heaviest. Appropriately on their "Rocks" LP.
The Green Manalishi - Judas Priest (from "Unleashed In The East")
Rob and the boys, shredding through what Fleetwood Mac's Peter Green made
famous with his own fretboard magic years before. The Priest is hard, heavy
and live on this last offering before the more commercially successful and
critically acclaimed "British Steel".
If You Want Blood (You Got It) - ACDC
Hard rockin' tune from Angus and the boys from Down Under while Bonn
Scott was still out front. Though overshadowed by the title track of
"Highway To Hell", it was good enough for ACDC to name their first live LP
after it.
Lights Out - UFO
Michael Schenker was the lead guitar player for the Scorpions until UFO
stole him away after borrowing his talents for a show their regular guitar
player didn't show for. I find this the most important song by them not
only because it was their biggest commercial success, but because it kicks
butt. The "galloping" bass was brought back by Pete Way, which admittedly
helped influence the style of Iron Maiden's Pete Harris.
The Zoo - Scorpions
I still can't figure out why so many label the Scorps as a "hair band".
Yeah, they went a little poppy later, but why forget their great earlier
offerings? The Zoo is heavy, period. The ga-gunk ga-gunk ga-gunk guitar
sound, though not very fast paced on this track, is still used to this day
in Metal.
Running Free - Iron Maiden
From their debut, self-titled album. Even though Paul Di'Anno only
lasted for two albums with IM, Running Free has lived on and is still a
concert favorite of the Iron Maiden faithful.
