I think this should be broken down by category because the subgenres are so distinct
1. Classic Era (Sabbath, Iron Maiden)
2. Thrash Era (Metallica, Megadeath)
3. Prog/Mathcore (Dream Theater, Animals As Leaders)
4. Death/Black metal (Death, Mayhem)
5. Modern (Gojira, Mastodon, anything contemporary etc)
Please limit your responses to THREE albums per category. You must adhere to the RULES

cr
although I remember one of my old rock album guides from the late 90s slammed Cannibal Corpse, My Dying Bride, Deicide, and Emperor all together under the heading "Death Metal".
Which, lol, but I guess if you're a normie music guy writing for the normie music market it makes sense to think of all the extreme metal coming out as kind of similar.

Turn Loose the Swans is definitely towards the top of any metal list.
Ulver's trilogie, Borknagar's first few LPs, & La Masquerade Infernale are up there on the BM side, but these likely reflect my tastes in the genre. Nightside Eclipse for straightforward BM. Dictius Te Necare still wins most necro.
Hail to England for straight metal. And yes, I'm a diehard Manowar fan.
Draconian Times is up there as well.
I'm biased towards 90s melodic DM. It's hard to compare that to some of the highly technical/produced stuff over the last 20 years. Allegaeon has some great work, but you really can't compare them to early Benediction.

Lol@ thinking they are even worth mentioning ITT
exodus - shovel headed kill machine is probably better than all of slayers work combined. pantera not mentioned ITT either yet they were far more influential
retarded op included thrash, then left out quintessential power, speed, and neoclassical
you can smell these poser bitches from a mile away if you are an actual metalhead

1. Classic: Paranoid, Number of the Beast, Screaming for Vengeance [Sabbath, Maiden, Priest]
2. Thrash: Master of Puppets, Among the Living, Reign in Blood [Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer]
3. Prog: Images and Words, Imaginos [I'd argue it's pretty proggy even if it isn't traditional progressive metal], IDK, Mr. Bungle?? [Dream Theater, Blue Oyster Cult, Mr. Bungle]. Otherwise I guess Blackwater Park [Opeth].
4. Extreme Metal: Hell Is Empty And All The Devils Are Here; The Autophagous Orgy; Left Hand Path [Anaal Nathrakh, Lord Gore, Entombed]
5. Modern: Leviathan, Lord of the Wasteland, Closing In [Mastodon, Steelwing, Early Man]

TY
Blood Mountain actually is better IMO. I never gave Crack the Skye enough listens.
"Blood and Thunder" really carries a lot of Leviathan but Iron Tusk and Island are good

this is a great list, but I only have knowledge of #1 and #2 categories and a little of #3
Mine would go like this, in no particular order:
Iron Maiden The Number of the Beast
Black Sabbath - Paranoid (just fucking amazing for 1970)
Metallica - Ride the Lightning
Ozzy Osbourne - Blizzard of Ozz
Slayer - Reign in Blood
