- Appetite for Destruction
By Guns N' Roses, 1988
A glimpse of the future, and not because of its huge influence and umpteen million sales. The poor-little-rich-boy protest "Out ta Get Me" intimates that Axl Rose's egotism and martyr complex were soon to grow bigger than his head; still, Appetite's night-train wreck of punk and metal sounds and...

By Pantera, 1992
Probably the heaviest album ever to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard album chart, Pantera's Vulgar Display of Power proved that, even in an era of alternative rock supremacy, heavy metal fans were still a force to contend with.

- Antichrist Superstar
By Marilyn Manson, 1996

- Reign in Blood
By Slayer, 2007
This 28-minute slab of noise ranks among the most aggressive, brutal, and bone-crushingly intense major label releases ever. After opening with the highly controversial blur-of-volume "Angel of Death," which tells of the grisly exploits of sadistic Nazi doctor Joseph Mengele, the album confronts...
