Inspired by THIS post by @Collin, I thought it was cool to narrow the roster a bit. I also think that it's a cool way to see what people here listen to outside of metal.
Obviously, a pertinent question is paramount from the get go: what is "Metal" and what is not. That I'll leave to each one... There's common ground to be found and even if there's some stretches here and there it's all good.
I myself have some controversial takes. I.e. the majority of Paradise Lost's catalogue is Metal, albums like One Second or Host aren't IMO. Also, while having some heavy riffing on most albums, I don't consider bands like Nine Inch Nails, Nirvana, Ghost, Rush, Blue Cheer, Therapy?, Zeppelin, The Cult or Tool to be overall "Metal per se". So, in my case, these albums are eligible this exercise and you're free to create your own boundaries given it doesn't disrupt a certain common sense (like saying Slayer isn't Metal
).
So, if you're in for it, place your list below. I'm getting mine ready.
Cheers.
