You can always add something in "edit" - as you know. Smile

Keeping in mind that I haven't listened to much metal for a few years, off the top of my head, leaving out most what I consider more hard rock or proto-metal, the list would be something like this:

Shared 1st place:

Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Black Sabbath - Master of Reality

The rest in alphabetical order, one album/band:

Amorphis - Karelian Isthmus 
Autopsy - Mental Funeral
Barathrum - Infernal 
Bathory - Under the Sign of the Black Mark 
Convulse - World Without God 
Darkthrone - A Blaze in the Northern Sky
Death - Human 
Entombed - Left Hand Path
Goatlord - Reflections of the Solstice 
Iron Maiden - Powerslave 
Morbid Angel - Covenant 
Skepticism - Stormcrowfleet 
Unholy - From the Shadows

Please don't ask how I define metal vs hard rock or proto-metal or whatever. I don't know.

Here's something I wrote in another thread but I'd like to quote it in this thread as well:
Originally posted by David_D David_D wrote:

The fact how much the music is based on Blues can't IMO be the central point of Metal definition because if it was, we couldn't 
distinguish between Metal and other very little Blues-based genres. 
As I see it, more central points are heavy, aggressive power-chord based riffs with a lot of distortion, specific rhythms 
and drumming styles.
And these points show very significant difference between early 1970s Black Sabbath and say Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple.

I find all this important to state in order to give Black Sabbath the credit as the main inventor of the Metal style.

I find also Master of Reality together with Vol. 4 to be the crucial albums, and not Paranoid or debut.
