Thanks.

These Top 10 lists are fun to do but there are so many that I've skipped over that may on another day me the list.

And where's is the line between metal and hard rock and prog.

Some may think "Mindcrime" was more progressive than metal and while most might think "British Steel" was metal, if you ask me, the first Montrose Album was faster and harder than British Steel.

So my list is very hit and miss

"British Steel" is one of the least "metal" releases of Priest's catalogue in my opinion (and I ain't knocking your list fella). "Living after midnight" and "Breaking The Law" were shots at the mainstream (brilliantly concieved) but are just a little too catchy for my ears.

"Countdown..." is prob my favourite Megadeth record btw.

You are probably right about British Steel but it does have some crunchers in there so I included it.

Again, for me it's that line between Metal and Hard Rock. There are a couple of albums such as Y&T's "Earthshaker" or The Scorps "Lovedrive" that I could easily plug in there.

They may not be quite as heavy as say Metallica or Maiden but they rock just as hard.
