Top 5 Metal albums of all time

Carnivore and Monotheist seem like really weird choices for a "top 5 albums of all time" list.
 
Manowar - Hail to England
Manowar - Into Glory Ride
Manowar - Sign of the Hammer
Warlord - Deliver Us
Fates Warning - Awaken the Guardian

So simple. :)
 
my five:

Deep Purple - Perfect Strangers
Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell
Pantera - Cowboys From Hell
Judas Priest - Pain Killer
Napalm Death - Utopia Banished

Honorable mention:

Black Sabbath - Born Again
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Megadeth - Rust in Peace
Sepultura - Beneath the Remains
Annihilator - Alice in Hell

btw, it's out of order and tomorrow can be totally different.
 
OK, I'll give this a go...

Agalloch - The Mantle
Opeth - BWP
Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind
Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime
Scorpions - Blackout

These are ALL-TIME favorites, not necessarily favorites right now (except for The Mantle - sheer musical perfection that will NEVER fall off the list)
