The Carter 3 (leaks included) is by far his best work.
Carter 2 > Carter 1 though. Carter 2 flows so much better.

Doesn't count. They were two different albums.

Pre-leak, Carter III could've made an arguement second. But the actual Carter III release was wack

And actually I agree II>I

How the hell can you justify having Animals ahead of Wish You Were Here?

I was wondering how long it would take before someone mentioned any metal albums.

quote:

powerslave
number of the beast
piece of mind


I just don't know how you can place anything ahead of an album that contained "Hallowed be thy Name", "Run to the Hills", and "Number of the Beast".

Personally, I would placed the self-titled debut ahead of Piece of Mind because of its significance for the NWOBHM.

quote:

judas priest-

defenders of the faith
screaming for vengeance
point of entry


How the hell is Sad Wings of Destiny not on this list? That album is criminally underrated. Also, Painkiller is more deserving than Point of Entry.

quote:

metallica-

kill'em all
master of puppets
ride the lightning


I realize the importance of Kill 'em All, but it's just nowhere near the caliber of songwriting and musicianship of the next three albums. The production quality is lacking and Hetfield's vocals are just too unpolished. However, you are correct in ranking Master of Puppets ahead of Ride the Lightning.

quote:

heaven and hell
mob rules
black sabbath


Don't get me wrong, I love Dio w/Sabbath. I mean, I LOVE those two LPs and the live album. With that being said, Paranoid is the quintessential Black Sabbath record and is arguably the greatest heavy metal album of all-time. I would put both it and Master of Reality well ahead of the debut.

You can sort of tell with Black Sabbath that the band was still searching for their identity and were still retaining too much of the blues roots.

2 and 3 are interchangeable for the sole epicness of that "Magellan" on Rocket 3. Without that single song, WA4TF would be miles ahead; but that "Magellan" is the best song they've ever put on an album.

I'm sorry man, but no way is Blood on the Tracks superior to Bringing it all Back Home or The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan.

If we're not counting compilations or live albums...

Alice in Chains:
Dirt
Jar of Flies
Alice in Chains

The second half of Facelift is just so week compared to the opening six songs. Otherwise, it would easily be in the top 3.

I'm going to catch a lot of shite for this one...

AC/DC:
Back in Black
High Voltage
Powerage


Number one is obvious for a number of reasons. High Voltage is an often forgotten debut that has some simple song structures but is heavy and catch as hell.

Meanwhile, Powerage possessed all of the aggressiveness and heaviness of its predecessor, Let There Be Rock, but was much more polished and diverse in sound.

I also considered For Those About to Rock because it provides Brian Johnson's best vocal performance and is the heaviest AC/DC album ever recorded. Highway to Hell just has too much commercial tinge and influence from Mutt Lange. It's not hard to observe his connection between morphing AC/DC's sound and establishing Def Leppard as the most mainstream band in heavy music.

There are a lot of Dylan fans who would argue Blood is the GOAT.
