Another perk for Master of Puppets is that the title track at roughly 35 years after its release became the oldest song to make its debut on the American Top 40 last summer
Great list! A few honorable mentions: Judas Priest -- Defenders of the Faith Megadeth -- Countdown to Extinction Iron Maiden -- Piece of Mind Anthrax -- Among The Living Ozzy -- Diary of a Madman
Same. I think the non-singles from Ride the Lightning are better than the non-singles from Master of Puppets, so it feels like a better record overall.
Makes sense when you think about how it's pulling from the most vocal opinions it can find. What are the most people praising vs what do the most vocal critics sound like
Just for giggles I also asked Bardy to list the top 10 Metal albums and I got a completely different list that included Opeth, Death, and Tool, but still had #1 and #4 the same as the video. Really makes you wonder what exactly goes on behind the scenes to generate these answers.
I did this as well but for worst albums. Bardy seems to think Disturbed released a Damageplan album, lol. In 2000. It still has a bone to pick with Ghost though but the list is more or less retained.
Piece of Mind is my personal favorite Maiden album but I cannot argue that the other two are on the list. When I was maybe 10 years old (I’m 55) my older brother bought two albums for my birthday. One was a Yes album (can’t remember which one) and Black Sabbath “Black Sabbath”. That was my beginning in a life long love of Metal. I was ready to call bullshit if “Black Sabbath” wasn’t number one. Great video and I can’t argue anything on this list. Keep up the great work with the channel.
Powerslave has been my favorite Maiden album since it's release. I have been a fan since Number of was released in '82. I saw them open for Priest on that tour and I saw them heading the Spectrum in Philadelphia on the World Slavery tour. If you were there you know! This was the peak of their powers and they set the bar high! The first two Sabbath albums were released in the same year so I'd vote them both in one slot on my top ten essential Metal albums. I'm going to take issue with the selection of British Steel. Unleashed in the East is the more essential Metal Priest album to me. Number of the Beast too? Absolutely! Master of Puppets for the win over Megadeth? ABSOLUTELY! I'd replace the other four of the Bard's selections.
I wish everyone would give up on trying to make everyone not like Pantera like this guy does in this video, I've listened to them for over 30 years and that's never gonna change \m/
Yeah, people are trying to cancel them. Is Pantera #problematic? Eh, I really don't think so, honestly. Is Phil himself problematic? Most definitely! However, I can virtually guarantee you the Abbot brothers didn't give a f*ck about race, and Rex seems to harbor no will will toward anyone. I wouldn't cancel a band over one member being a douche, especially a band that broke up over 20 years ago (seriously, it's kind of pointless to get mad about it now; yeah, they loved their Confederate flags, but I doubt they would still be waving those if they were still around today).
@@RockedNet Same. Although I'd go with either Orgasmatron or Inferno as my all time favorite albums of theirs. Ozzy's and DIO's absences from the list was also a surprise. I wonder what you'd get should you feed some limiters into the next query you use for one these ChatBot episodes. (One album per artist, years covered, etc.)
@@RockedNet Not really because the band is not as popular or Talked about Moterhead is just for a billion fans on planet knowing unlike Metallica where everyone knows them even if number of Hardcore fans is same
I'd absolutely list _Powerslave_ as possibly Maiden's best. For me it'd either be that or _A Matter Of Life And Death._ Honestly, they've put out so many bangers it's really hard to choose. _Number Of The Beast,_ _Seventh Son of a Seventh Son_ and _Brave New World_ also crush and all have historical import on their side for the band and genre as a whole.
While I do agree with all these picks I personally would’ve added some additional modern albums like Slipknot’s Vol. 3, Meliora by Ghost, Crack the Skye from Mastodon, Toxicity from System of a Down and the self-titled or City of Evil from Avenged Sevenfold as well as other classics like Ace of Spades from Motörhead, Holy Diver by Dio, Pyromania from Def Leppard or even Among the Living from Anthrax
Vol. 3 for Slipknot? Interesting. I disagree, but I respect it. I would go with Iowa. Yes, it is the predictable pick, but damn that album just lands hard every single time, even all these years later (minus the title track, if I am to be honest).
@@crazydud3380 I was honestly in-between that one and Vol. 3 since those are my two favourite albums from them, but I had to go with 3 since that was my introduction to Slipknot and has some of their best songs like Before I Forget, Duality, Vermilion and Pulse of the Maggots to name a few
10: No arguments about Ride the Lightning. 9: Honestly, Powerslave is possibly my favorite Iron Maiden album (that or Seventh Son of a Seventh Son) so I'm not upset about that one, though I hear way more people list Piece of Mind these days so I was expecting that one to show up instead. 8: Nothing against Paranoid, as it's a classic, although as hot as this take is, Paranoid isn't even in my Top 5 Black Sabbath Albums (though I've also heard Paranoid a few too many times so maybe I'm letting that cloud my judgement). 7: No complaints about Vulgar Display of Power. 6: Bard made the right choice, although you could make an argument for Countdown to Extinction or Peace Sells...But Who's Buying?. I'm probably the one guy who'd put Cryptic Writings as his favorite Megadeth album, lol. 5: Nothing wrong with British Steel as it's a classic, but I personally disagree. I would argue more for Sad Wings of Destiny, Stained Class, Screaming for Vengeance, or Painkiller, but Bard didn't choose Demolition, so he gets a passing grade for this one. 4: No complaints about Reign in Blood. 3: I'm pretty sure Bard just got lazy and copied the description he did for Powerslave, but no argument with the actual pick. 2: Good choice, no complaints. Even if my favorite Metallica album is ...And Justice for All, I can understand favoring Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets for this list. 1: I don't know if I agree with number 1 of all time but it's certainly the most innovative. I don't know how hot this take is, but as far as albums that are 100% metal start to finish, I would argue more in favor of Master of Reality.
Black Sabbath's "Black Sabbath" was my first real introduction to rock. Prior to that, I was very much a product of my parent's music choices (what's now considered to be classic 60's and 70's pop, with some 60's folk and 70's country). So....yeah.
I just asked Bardy to give me a script for a future Regretting the Past video on Saving Abel's self titled album. Bardy doesn't know what it means to regret the past. He also said that Painkiller is one of Seether's famous songs.
Holy shit! Barty has this list nearly perfect. I could’ve picked any of the first 4 Metallica albums. Powerslave is my favorite Maiden album but I could’ve thrown Piece of Mind or Brave New World in there. And while Slayer’s Reign in Blood is a fan favorite, mine is South of Heaven. Great list all together
These are some amazing picks but I'd personally add Iron Maiden Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son from 1988 and Judas Priest's 1990 album Painkiller in my top 3 with Iron Maiden's Number Of The Beast from 1982.
Not going to argue with Powerslave as a choice. It's my favorite album by them. Admittedly, it was my first exposure to IM, which probably colors my opinion. Overall, I can't say I'd argue with Bardie's list, even if I don't like some of the bands on it. (Though with only 10 spots, I probably have limited it to one album per band.)
I think Sabbath's Heaven and Hell should be on the list. Personally my all time fav album is Accept's Ball to the Walls. Anthax's Among the Living is something special. But the follow up State of Euphoria was so bad it hurt their legacy.
Black Sabbath - Dehumanizer Death - Symbolic Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime Judas Priest - Stained Class Iron Maiden - Killers Metalium - Millenium Metal Chapter One U.D.O. - Animal House Testament - Practice What You Preach Overkill - Taking Over Sepultura - Arise
YES Someone else listed Mindcrime!,Testament on my choice-New order /here was my list My top 10 metal discs? 1.Metallica-Justice ,2.Maiden- Somewhere in time,3.Priest--Ram it down ,,4.Testament-the new order,5Slayer -reign in blood,6,Fear Factory-Obsolete7Queensryche-Operation Mindcrime, 8.Fates Warning-No Exit,9Cradle Of Filth-Cruelty & The Beast 10 Dream Theater -Live scenes from New York(seen live 5 times)
I wonder if Adrian Smith died and came back to life again between _Powerslave_ and _Somewhere in Time._ We know he did that between _X Factor_ and _Brave New World._
I asked chat gpt the best metal albums ever and this is what I got: 1. Black sabbath-paranoid (1970):often considered one of the pioneering albums of heavy metal, Paranoid introduced the world to the dark,heavy riffs and lyrical themes that would come to define the genre 2. Metallica-master of puppets(1986):widely regarded as one of the greatest metal albums of all time, master of puppets showcases Metallica's virtuosity,songwriting prowess and ability to blend thrash aggression with intricate melodies 3. Iron maiden-the number of the beast(1982):this album marked Iron maiden's breakthrough, featuring iconic tracks like Run to the hills and the title track which solidified the band's status as metal legends 4. Slayer-reign in blood (1986): clocking in at just under 30 minutes, reign in blood is a relentless assault of speed and aggression, influencing thrash and extreme metal bands with its ferocity and intensity 5. Judas priest-british steel(1980): with anthems like breaking the law and living after midnight, British steel is a quintessential metal album that helped define the sound and image of heavy metal in the early 1980s 6. Pantera-vulgar display of power(1992): renowned for its raw power and aggression, vulgar display of power is a landmark album in groove metal, showcasing pantera's tight musicianship* and vocalist Phil anselmo's commanding presence 7. Black sabbath-black sabbath (1970): black sabbath's self titled debut laid the groundwork for the entire genre of heavy metal with its dark, ominous atmosphere and heavy downtuned riffs 8. Megadeth-rust in peace (1990): featuring complex song structures and virtuosic guitar work from Dave Mustaine and Marty Friedman Rust in peace is a thrash masterpiece that remains a benchmark for technical proficiency in metal 9. Opeth-blackwater park (2001): a landmark in progressive death metal, Blackwater park showcases opeth's ability to seamlessly blend brutal aggression and haunting melodies and intricate songwriting 10. Tool-lateralus (2001): while not strictly a metal album, lateralus incorporates heavy, progressive elements and is revered for its complex rythms, thought provoking lyrics, and atmospheric soundscapes, earning it a place among metal's greatest albums *note I did not write that chatgpt did
What about When The Kite String Pops - Acid Bath, The Jester Race - In Flames, The Mantle - Agalloch, Bath / Leaving your Body Map - maudlin of the Well, Roots - Sepultura and so on?
When you can sit, and listen to a metal album through and through, should be the pinnacle of what makes a great album. As iconic as all of these albums are, it's the fact that they've got great listening power too. I've personally listened to all of these albums from start to finish. I think Bardy got it correct, aside from that flop while describing Puppets.
My top 10 metal discs? 1.Metallica-Justice ,2.Maiden- Somewhere in time,3.Priest--Ram it down ,,4.Testament-the new order,5Slayer -reign in blood,6,Fear Factory-Obsolete7Queensryche-Operation Mindcrime, 8.Fates Warning-No Exit,9Cradle Of Filth-Cruelty & The Beast 10 Dream Theater -Live scenes from New York(seen live 5 times)
Lifelong Maiden fan here-(since '80). Powerslave is the ultimate Iron Maiden record! The World Slavery Tour is still considered to be a groundbreaking one. They could have quit after that and would still be considered one of the greatest bands ever.
Not bad, but having 6 of the top 10 represented by 3 bands is denying others an entry... So mine might look a little like (and these aren't in order): Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden Ride the Lightning - Metallica Paranoid - Black Sabbath Painkiller - Judas Priest Into the Pandemonium - Celtic Frost Reign in Blood - Slayer Cowboys from Hell - Pantera Once - Nightwish Keeper of the 7 Keys (1 & 2) - Helloween Images and Words - Dream Theatre Ask me again tomorrow, and I'll give a slightly different list, haha!
I think it was a good list. I personally would have reversed it with one exception. I would have put Master Of Puppets at #1 Just my opinion though. I also think that Pantera, Anthrax and Testament should have gotten honorable mentions.
A personal favorite of mine Is "Xandria - Sacrificium" I can however see that it might not be for everyone as it is operatic powermetal but to me there is not a single minute on that album wasted and I will miss Dianne as the singer for the band.
Yes Xandria Sacrificium is a killer album I also enjoy Theater Of Dimensions Dianne Van Giersbergen vocals are amazing she has a powerful operatic voice I'm a Power Metal Symphonic Metal so I enjoy the more higher vocal ranges too
@@davidstonerook3868 Theater of Dimensions was fantastic too! I just picked Scrificium due to it comming out first and both being very simmilar (which is not a bad thing to me).
If I were gonna pick two Maiden albums I would’ve picked Brave New World and Iron Maiden (because “Phantom of the Opera”). I would’ve loved to see Bard pick Judas Priest’s Defenders of the Faith…side A. Though if that’s too specific then Painkiller it is. Picking between Ride, Puppets and Justice depends on what day of the week it is since they’re all masterpieces. Also when it comes to Megadeth my favorite album is So Far…So Good…So What and yeah that album benefitted from its 2002 remaster. Not that the two “Peace” albums it sits between aren’t amazing as well. While I’m giving somewhat controversial opinions Bathory’s Twilight of the Gods would be in my top ten. And finally if I were to sit and make a top ten list limiting myself to one Type O Negative album would be impossible. I was gonna try to actually make my own list but limiting myself to ten and then ordering them would take far too long.
Powerslave is, in my opinion, Iron Maiden's greatest album. EDIT: I also love how Bard literally gave the same explanation for Powerslave, The Number of the Beast, British Steel, and Paranoid.
Not bad for a robot. Mine would be: 1. Judas Priest - Painkiller 2. Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime 3. Metallica - And Justice for All 4. Judas Priest - Stained Class 5. Dio - Holy Diver 6. Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind 7. Iron Maiden - The Number of The Beast 8. Metallica - Master of Puppets 9. Judas Priest - Defenders of The Faith 10. Black Sabbath - Mob Rules 11. Iron Maiden - Powerslave 12. Judas Priest - Sad Wings of Destiny 13. Megadeth - Rust In Peace 14. Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 15. Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell 16. Queensryche - The Warning 17. Pantera - Cowboys From Hell 18. Metallica - Ride The Lightning 19. Ozzy Osbourne - Diary of a Madman 20. Mercyful Fate - Melissa
My top 10 1) In Flames The Jester Race 2) Amon Amarth Versus The World 3) Trivium Ascendancy 4) Iron Maiden Somewhere in Time 5) Metallica Ride The Lighting 6) Megadeth Rust In Peace 7) Machine Head The Blackening 8) All that Remains The Fall of Ideals 9) As I Lay Dying An Ocean Between Us 10) Death The Sound of Perseverance
Safe but defendable list. I’d swap out paranoid for sabbath bloody sabbath, British steel for defenders of the faith, and piece of mind for powerslave. Glad the black album was left off!
Number of the Beast came out the year my older brother was born, Powerslave came out the year i was born and Megadeth Rust in Peace came out the year my younger brother was born
Yeah, a lot of Pantera fans lately try to argue Vulgar is overrated. No, no it's not. I think it is rated correctly. Personally, if I HAD to list a a Pantera album as overrated, it would be Far Beyond Driven. Do not misunderstand me, it is still a great album, but so many people say it is their absolute pinnacle, even though I actually think there are a couple of weaker tracks here (and Good Friends is edgelord cringe, to me personally). Trendkill may be their most underrated album.
@@harrisontownsend910 I probably wouldn’t put it in my top 5 but it’s definitely a 10/10 album that I fully understand someone putting it in theirs. As I mentioned in another comment I own a vinyl copy of every album on this list.
@@crazydud3380 if I remember correctly that’s also the one song on Far Beyond Driven that makes me consider it a 9/10 instead of 10/10 but I think Cowboy From Hell, Vulgar Display of Power and Far Beyond Driven are fairly rated albums for what it’s worth.
Most Maiden fans that I know (including myself) cite Powerslave as their best/favourite album. Whilst Number of the Beast has some of Maiden's more iconic and phenomenal songs you can't ignore the fact that it includes Invaders and Gangland which prevent it from being the best 'album'.
With this list, you only have to agree if the bands deserve praise for one of the best albums. I can see someone shouting from the outside "But there's no Anthrax on the list! They were one of the big 4!". Or, "Why no Venom, Diamond Head, MotorHead? They made Metallica!" ... The difference between the best 10 metal albums and the worst 10 metal albums is that on the best list, you can assume that since only 10 made the list, the 11th was [insert your favorite metal album here] and get on with your day. On the worst list, it is a much more direct call-out -and of failure. If Bardy was really being honest, the worst 10 metal albums of all time would have just been 10 St. Anger 10 times and there would have been few to disagree.
Great list. Cannot argue much against the list. Mostly cuz i do not know much bout Megadeth. Such a good list, amongst a ton of other great albums. There are albums like In Flames "Jester Race", which i consider one of the best metal albums of all time. Well done Google Bard
Rust in Peace is pretty much universally agreed to be Megadeth's best work, and it only has one dud song on it (dawn patrol, simply because it feels out of place compared to the rest of the album)
Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh son Megadeth - Rust in Peace Ulver - Bergtatt These 3 are the peak of metal, not saying that new stuff is bad, far from it but this is the best
These are all very classic metal albums. I can't do anything with Black Sabbath at all, I find their albums badly aged. For me, the sound and production of an album is also important, so I personally find Metallica's Black album better than the two in the list (but I still love them too). I miss the newer bands, but in the last 20 years metal has split into more and more subgenres. So I understand that the bands in the Google list are the ones that most people can agree on. I don't presume to say what is objectively the best metal album. Many albums are connected to certain situations in my life and therefore important to me. I tend to love albums many fans would hate, like Turbo / Juda Priest, Savage Amusement / Scorpions or Crazy Nights / Kiss.
@@ChrisTian-rm7zm My list probably will get Crucified for metal discs? 1.Metallica-Justice ,2.Maiden- Somewhere in time,3.Priest--Ram it down ,,4.Testament-the new order,5Slayer -reign in blood,6,Fear Factory-Obsolete7Queensryche-Operation Mindcrime, 8.Fates Warning-No Exit,9Cradle Of Filth-Cruelty & The Beast 10 Dream Theater -Live scenes from New York(seen live 5 times)
Personally, I'd have included Motohead's Ace of Spades. Also, even though Black Sabbath's self titled album was the first, and it was good, I don't really see it as a top 10. Finally, I have some honorable mentions, such as: Iron Maiden's Seventh Son of a Seventh Son and Fear of the Dark Metallica's Kill 'Em All, And Justice for All and Black Album Megadeth's Peace Sells... But Who's Buying? and Countdown to Extinction Judas Priest's Screaming for Vengeance and Painkiller (Actually, I would have put Painkiller on the Top 10 and left British Steel as an HM) Anthrax's Among the Living
I personally think its worth including something a little newer on these lists. Psychosocial comes to mind (i personally think psychosocial is better than iowa but i wont argue if you disagree). Or perhaps just throw in a dream theater album if you really want to look like a music snob. Not saying anything bad about dream theater, I would fully agree with any dream theater album being on the top 10 best metal albums list. I'm more saying their fans can be a bit... They're something lol
I think Dave Mustaine is happy to have at least two albums on this list that contain some of his songwriting and with two Metallica albums listed I think just that makes the Dave vs Metallica rivalry a tie here
I was hoping to see Black Sabbath /Heaven & Hell. I just love Dio led Sabbath. Could you ask the google snob the best rock guitarists to see what he comes up with?
This is the top 10 ChatGPT gave me. Black Sabbath - "Paranoid" (1970) Iron Maiden - "The Number of the Beast" (1982) Metallica - "Master of Puppets" (1986) Judas Priest - "British Steel" (1980) Slayer - "Reign in Blood" (1986) Black Sabbath - "Black Sabbath" (1970) Megadeth - "Rust in Peace" (1990) Ozzy Osbourne - "Blizzard of Ozz" (1980) Pantera - "Vulgar Display of Power" (1992) Led Zeppelin - "Led Zeppelin IV" (1971)
I don't judge in "bests," only my favorites because it's all subjective opinion. ie: not a fan of Metallica at all but I believe Black Sabbath certainly does deserve its spot at #1.
