boring answers, but I can pick up and play any of the first 7 maiden albums, the first 5 black sabbath records, death leprosy through human. after that i become more selective and album oriented. can always pick up and enjoy Unleashed in the East, Eternal Nightmare, Beneath the Remains, IV Crusade, Left Hand Path, etc.

Shoot, that's a tough question. I've always found my John Coltrane albums being these type of albums, as well as some Hip-Hop albums I own. As for Metal, I'm finding Iron Maiden to be one of these bands, specifically their five album run. I guess it's hard to say, but these are safe choices.

You misspelled seven.
I would have added Entombed if they would have retired after Clandestine.
Livingskeletons
If I pulled that off, would you die?
So somebody put an 8 bit version of Rust in Peace on youtube.

I can't get into early Maiden material with Paul. Some of my favorite stuff from Maiden are on those two albums, but those two albums have never really done much for me, personally.
Am I saying they are bad? Not at all. I'm just saying that my personal preference may be a be different compared to other Maiden listeners.
Neurosis, YOB, Autopsy

EPICA, Eluveitie and (you probably gonna kill me for this) new-ish In Flames

nice to see fans of this band. Absolutely at the highest tier of modern death metal.
Order from Chaos. I can't really explain it. Even if I actually feel like I don't want to listen to them, if I just go ahead and pick something random by them I'll be hooked. For me, everything about this band is perfect, and that goes beyond the music.
And Time Does Not Heal is kinda boring.

Whoa, really? I didn't know they were re-releasing this album! Thanks for letting me know, I would have never known otherwise.
Regardless, the remaster sounds awesome. I might pick it up when it comes out.

sounds cleaner but basically the same, which is unfortunate because it's the only Death LP whose sound I wish was radically different.

yes that would be me lol. A few years ago I really toned down my overall metal expenditures, but I also used that time to focus on building up my collection for Order from Chaos and filling up a few holes in related bands' discogs. Just when I thought I had it all, I got three of what are arguably my most prized pieces in succession. One of which:
that is a test pressing for Plateau of Invincibility. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? This practically fell into my lap, too. The guy who sold it to me turned out to live like 10 miles away from where I work, and he himself works at the local USPS like a mile from there. We met up instead of going the shipping route. We were talking for a good while and it turned out he's buddies with Helmkamp. The flyer pictured is an original taken from inside a book that Helmkamp had given to him. I guess he was using them as bookmarks lol. I feel extremely lucky to have an item like this.

YouTube doesn't have the original version which is much heavier, but still godlike.

this is way late (many many pages) but
kinda crazy how they went from extreme tech to black metal, but I love it.
also, new animals as leaders is pretty good and much better than weightless, but it doesn't top the recent Exivious- Liminal for me.
in addition to WITTR, Krallice is a pretty awesome progressive black metal band with members Colin Martson (gorguts, behold... the arctopus, indricothere, dysrhythmia) and Mick Barr (Orthrelm, The Flying Luttenbachers, and many number Zach Hill projects).

Pantera for me metal wise.
Savage Circus is a funny story, if only because Thomen left Blind Guardian to start the band, and then was eventually kicked out. Dreamland Manor is an awesome album indeed, and I remember being very excited for the future of the band when it came out, but "Of Doom and Death" is pretty terrible in comparison. Jens (vocalist) other band 'Persuader' is pretty solid too.
First song with Arch Enemy's new singer is up!

The positive: They still sound like themselves - heavy, deathy and melodicy.
The Negative: She doesnt sound as evil as Angela... (she doesnt look as evil as well
Will check this out shortly! edit: I like it, but it does feel like stuff I'll forget about and never really listen to a whole lot. Perhaps I'm just tired of em.
Will have to check this out.
I guess for metal it's probably Iron Maiden or Blind Guardian. a 3rd band that covers just about every genre would be Queen.

Mmmmmhmmmmm. It's kind of Death Magnetic style mixed with the older stuff. The riff is great at least. As a demo, I like it....and I'm hyped for more.

Yea man, ever since someone posted Cult of Fire not too long again in the old thread, I immediately bought both albums digitally. My 2nd digital music purchase ever. Waiting for more physical releases to be in stock.

I've listened to both of them due to GAF, Cult of Fire via the old Metal OT and Aosoth via the Album of the Year voting thread. Aosoth was quite a surprise, it took some time to get into but now I'd call it one of my favourite from 2013. Powerful, ritualistic black metal, sounding a bit similar like Deathspell Omega. Recommended if you're into black metal, its pretty cheap on bandcamp.
I've given Cult of Fire a couple of listens, but it couldnt grab me. Dunno why.

Oh, that Aosoth album was AOTY? Thanks for telling me, I'll check it out.

This is the power of the internet.
Some game developer thought Nothing - Guilty of Everything was the best album of the year so far. So I checked it out on Amazon. Then saw a recommendation for Conan - Blood Eagle, which had three 5-star reviews. Liverpool, oh that's cool. Doom metal? Sure, I've started getting into that. And so, here I am. Really impressed!
I must not be alone in when seeing a pretty album cover, wants to get the physical version instead.

Conan are like one of my favourite doom bands, and I didn't even know there was supposed to be a new album out this year until release date. The town where their new label is located is like an one hour drive away from me, so I had it the next day I ordered.This is the power of the internet.

And it's great, probably the heaviest in recent doom you can get right now
until the new Bongripper is out
And yeah, I'm like that too. I buy vinyl and CDs, but it only takes nice artwork and I go for vinyl for sure.

Haha fucking Speedwolf!

Good shit right there. Always refreshing to see a female fronted band that isn't cheesy (I'm looking at you Huntress).

Really? That's awesome. The cover is one of the things that caught my eye.
Rocksmith 2014 is the best thing you can buy if you're a guitar player on a budget. I haven't really even started playing with the actual game because I have been messing around with the tone editor. It has pre-sets for all of the real world tones for all of the songs in the game, and it gives you the components used to create these tones, and it lets you mess around with the set-up and create your own sound. That alone is worth the $50 I paid for the game....it has turned my PS3 into my regular amp. It helps that I have a great sound system though, I wouldn't plug it into shitty speakers and expect it to be awesome. I'm playing with all kinds of tones though, they have everything here. They have Slayer, Pantera and Iron Maiden in the base track list, so that is some good metal to work with right there.....and the list of components is deep.

Order From Chaos fans should check out Ares Kingdom. The guitarist (who wrote most of the music and lyrics for OFC) and the drummer from Order From Chaos started the band shortly after Order From Chaos broke up. They're recording their third album this year.
Both previous full-lengths can be streamed on Nuclear War Now's bandcamp page.

If you just want to listen to one song Ironclad from their first album is my favorite of theirs.

Fucking awesome. Love the modern/dirty production of keeping it old school.
Stumbled upon an old school sounding death/thrash band called Nekromantheon.
Something in the vein of old Kreator, Hypnosia, old Dark Angel, etc.
