it goes at the top of the general music page every time someone posts. 

But discussions like what's prog and what's not are thread killers and derail the whole initial conversation. Best be avoided in my humble opinion.

One thing more I don't understand in this question: If Look at your Self is considered Prog then why should Paranoid not be?

don't start with another what's prog and what's not, you'll be killing your own thread.

How do some you distinguish between heavy metal and hard rock? I really don't have one.

Anyway, 15 off the top of my head (1 album per artist). I am sure I have left off other favorites.

1. Metallica - Master of Puppets
2. Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime
3. Corrosion of Conformity - Blind
4. Prong - Prove You Wrong
5. Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast
6. Motorhead - Orgasmatron
7. Anthrax - Sound of White Noise
8. AC/DC - Highway to Hell
9. Black Sabbath - Paranoid
10. Tool - Lateralus
11. Cynic - Traced in Air
12. Warrior Soul - God, Drugs and the New Republic
13. Judas Priest - Screaming for Vengeance
14. Megadeth - Countdown to Extinction
15. Dream Theater - Images and Words

If you haven't seen it, I've regretted the term "the proper Metal" (after Cristi's critism), as I now find it too subjective and condescending towards the earlier Metal.
Edit:
I think your point about Rainbow and Thin Lizzy is quite interesting.

I hadn't really considered Rainbow but they were probably an important 'link' band between old and new in the seventies. Its much clearer to me that something like Rising is more heavy metal compared to say In Rock or Led Zep II. Also Thin Lizzy with that twin guitar thing of Gary Moore and Scott Goram was another very important band for the genre. Can only do 12 'proper' metal albums, 3 at the bottom are clearly not but do have a strong metal influence.

Led Zep - II
Deep Purple - In Rock
Rainbow - Rising
Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous
Iron Maiden - Powerslave
Opeth - Pale Communion
Mastodon - Crack the Skye
Haken - Vector
Animals As Leaders - S/t
Exivious - Exivious
Katatonia - City Burials
Meshuggah - The Violent Sleep Of Reason
Rush - 2112
Porcupine Tree - Deadwing
Tool - Lateralus

Not a huge metal fan so picking 15 won't be doable. However I can pick a few but some of these probably aren't considered metal. Whatever.

Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime
Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast
Iron Maiden - Powerslave
Alice In Chains - Dirt
Rush - Caress of Steel
Kings X - Dogman (listen to it. it's effin' metal)
Porcupine Tree - Deadwing
Captain Beyond - Captain Beyond
