good on you for starting with the beginning and not with hipster post-black like a lot of /mu/tants

Master Of Reality
Master Of Puppets
NOLA
Wiseblood
Aenima
Houdini
Symmetry In Black
Number Of The Beast

This is a good as heavy metal gets.

Iron maiden powerslave
Metallica kill em all
Metallica ridw the lightning
Metallica master of puppets
Megadeth peace sells

>>73622805
Good list but I'd like to add,
Neoandertals - Ebu Gogo Gutting the Child
Sabaton - The Last Stand

Deep Purple is good early metal along with Black Sabbath and a lot of other early 70's hard rock music, I'd go to Iron Maiden and the mainstream bands after that and then into heavier and less mainstream stuff

Thats kind of a bad question, because much of "old" metal holds up about as well as your average nu-metal collection.

So I'll try to give some examples from the genre-"body" and the most important sub genres, which I think hold up, or are still fun or new but so good you should immediately get on them.

I suggest you make a Spotify folder and include:

Vektor-Black Future (BM)
Black Sabath's-Paranoid
Sleep-Sleep's Holy Mountain (DM)
Diamond Head-Am I Evil
Danzig-Danzig
Dokken-Tooth and Nail (Hair Metal)
Metallica-Ride the Lightning
Iron Maiden-Number of the Beast
Judas Priest-Killing Machine
Demons and Wizards-Touched by the Crimson King (PM)

I don't know anything about Death Metal, which is why I wont give a recommendation for that.

>>73626288
sleep's not death metal what are you on about?

>>73626288
>makes a point about some metal it aging well
>recommends goddamn Dokken and Killing Machine

Oh I thought the band was called Wiseblood, misread that they were all albums

>>73626288
>Black Future
>Black Metal

>>73626324
There are two subs genres starting with a "D". And I specifically said that I wouldn't make a Death Metal recommendation.
Is this bait?

>>73626343
>which I think hold up, or are still fun
I think Tooth and Nail and Killing Machine are
>still fun.

>>73626409
aah yes, I love dtoner metal

>>73626389
>(You)
>have a point?

>>73626343
You need to come to terms with the fact that the first 3 Dokken albums are very good and you're just letting your insecurities about 'hair metal is gay' get in your way of enjoying some quality George Lynch guitar work.

>>73626449
Doom Metal or Stoner Doom strictly. What the fuck does it matter, its easily one of the most accessible in the sub genre and therefore a sound recommendation.

>>73626460
ikr Dokken kicks ass

Dio - Lock Up the Wolves
Def Leppard - High n Dry, Pyromania, Hysteria

>>73622693
Only the sub genres that stayed true to Sabbath are good, that is
>doom
>stoner/doom
>sludge
>post
>drone

Not OP, what is a good intro to doom metal? I like Type O Negative but idk if that's representative of the genre

>>73626458
It's thrash.
>>73626460
>No riffs just chords and wanky solos
>good
Hahahahah

>>73626590
>drone

>>73626735
I bet you're the kind of guy that would say the same shit about Yngwie Malmsteen because you think it's got too many "wanky solos"

Shit taste senpai.

Pentagram, Saint Vitus, Candlemass, Cathedral.

>>73626772
Malmsteen is trash because it's all wank. Dude's got no variety in technique and for someone trying to ape classical/jazz is harmonically still doing baby ass rock music progressions.

this should be a good start

>>73627097
Yep, thats hard to beat

>>73626735
Its Black/Thrash fusion and therefore an immeasurably more accessible and sensible recommendation into both genres than any retarded purist wankery you could bring to the table.

Nice fucking meme kid. Zepllin is fucking dad rock.

Black sabbath
Dio (Holy Diver for sure) Strangw Highways gets forgotten, but it solid.

>>73626567
Seriously bugs me how oft-forgotten Dio is.

Blue Öyster Cult's first 3 (Self-Titled, Tyranny And Mutation, and Secret Treaties.) Also Bo Heavy Petting by UFO

>>73622693
Listen to the entire manowar discography

it's not, dumb faggot
go listen to it again

Look guys, we got a real gentleman music connoisseur here. May I offer a side of Steven Wilson with your boredom?

>>73622693
Swans

>>73627463
Well, I have and if you swear you can't hear the black metal influences I won't say anything to convince you.

I love how people in this very thread are shitting on Led Zep - in a vain attempt to distance themselves from karma-related websites - when Sabbath were doing their best imitation of them on the debut & Paranoid.

Not sure how Megadeth's Rust in Peace hasn't been mentioned yet.
Anthrax - Among the Living, Persistence of Time
Testament - The New Order, Practice What You Preach
Exodus - Tempo of the Damned
Slayer - Reign in Blood, Show No Mercy

>>73622693
Why do people force themselves to start at the beginning of metal?
It's mediocre as fuck.
t. got into metal through brutal slam years ago and still haven't listened to the "classics"

fag

>>73627776
There are no black metal influences on that album. The band barely ever tremolos, barely ever does straight up blast beats, and the vocals are like a combo of the higher pitches stuff American thrash did and the harsher vocals that Teutonic Thrash did.

Some will whine that its not "metal" because they smile and have pleasant harmonies...but it is essential God-Tier material and the birth of shred.

>>73626077
if you take anything from this list make it Heaven and Hell and if you can get it on vinyl even better. Some people like to shit on this album because its the first Dio sabbath album but it is DAMN good.

>>73629708
>essential God-Tier material

So very true...

>>73629855
>first Dio sabbath album but it is DAMN good.

Also very true...one of the best Sabbath albums
