Essential Rock & Metal

The list author says:
	"Not a single bad track on this album. This demonstrates why Dio is so influential."

The list author says:
	"Nice bit of variety on this album, but if you want to listen to pure Manowar, the later tracks epitomize their Battle Metal style"

The list author says:
	"Fantastic Boogie/Metal from an overlooked band"

The list author says:
	"Very difficult to choose just one Status Quo album, but the inclusion of Caroline and 4500 Times alone make this a classic."

The list author says:
	"Forget Final Countdown, this compilation gives you so much better on two CD's. And without the agony of their poor later stuff"

The list author says:
	"UFO are one of the greats of British rock. This includes an album that nobody bought depite being one of the best rock albums of all time (in my opinion). The second CD contins live material."

The list author says:
	"Clasic AC/DC. Between this and High Voltage for the best AC/DC album, but this just pips it to the post"

The list author says:
	"Exactly what it says on the tin"

The list author says:
	"All the ZZ Top you will ever need"

The list author says:
	"Much of Hammerfall's stuff gets a bit repetitive. However, this album is their best. Lot of their fans dont like it because there is a ballad here but theyre morons"

The list author says:
	"One of the most consistently underrated Glam Metal bands."

The list author says:
	"Forget all ths American nonsense like Slayer, this is true German Thrash at its finest. Kreatror were oner of the most influential bands on the Death Metal scene, along with Destruction and Sodom."

The list author says:
	"Classic album with great songs. Joe Elliot just has a fantastic voice."

The list author says:
	"Not so well known band from Switzerland, but this is good, pure hard rock from the late 70's."

The list author says:
	"Often overlooked in favour of garbage like Ratt or overrated bands like Motley Crue"

The list author says:
	"Great album. I had difficulty placing it on this list, and even more difficulty choosing less than four or five Quo albums to put on here."

The list author says:
	"Great 80's cheese that almost nobody bought. Its all Grunge's fault."

The list author says:
	"Rainbow at their best"

The list author says:
	"If you can forgive the cringeworthy obsession L.A Glam Metal has with the Sunset Strip, this is a great album full of 12 Bar Blues mixed with Metal"

The list author says:
	"Dio was better in Sabbath, and Ozzy was better solo."

The list author says:
	"Rainbow's last album with Ronnie James Dio. In my opinion, they never recovered."

The list author says:
	"Hair Metal, but more progressive in sound"

The list author says:
	"The best part of a classic trilogy of albums"

The list author says:
	"Classic live album. Buy this instead of a compilation"

The list author says:
	"Fantastic concept album by a Brazilian Power Metal band."
