I’ve got a lot of respect for you as a youtuber, especially the fact I started listening to Opeth recently and never heard of them until I saw your videos and they are one of my fav bands
Glad you got into them such a great band always happy when people discover a new band they enjoy
You should check out Katatonia. Not nearly as heavy, but if you dig the moody atmosphere of Opeth, you won't be disappointed.

I haven't listened to them myself, but I will. I promise!:)
Respect for your enthusiasm for Metal. You seem like a great person to have a couple beers with and talk about great albums
This , for me , would be an extremely difficult task. There are so many excellent albums within these subgenres. That said , you did a fantastic job. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this.
Damn I’ve been really looking forward to a video like this with the metal knowledge that you have. Thank you!
Not much of a knowledge judging by albums in this video. I would do it better while taking an afternoon poop session in my toilet.
Great list, well done. Style wise I missed bands like Suicidal Tendencies/DRI and Cult of Luna/Neurosis. And The Ocean should definitely be on a top 100 list imho.
Cult of Luna is the best live band I’ve ever seen
@@SatanBled certainly one of the best. Seeing Finland performed live was an unforgettable experience.
Hmm... I'd include Seven Churches by Possessed somewhere in here, they are probably the creators of death metal, it is an essential album
Seven Churches is poor mans Hell Awaits
@@dekapitatorr Seven Churches is an essential album.
Everyone comment "Thanks skelly bones" to stop the skeleton running away with your albums 💀
I'll do it anyway
why did u say that abigail is the first concept album rush was making concept albums in the 70s it wasnt new in the 80s
@@jimpickens9681 Rush is prog rock not metal
@@Questformetal they did lots and lots of concept albums, lots of things/ideas start outside of metal before they are used in metal
Just made a playlist of all these albums for anyone interested: czcams.com/play/PLugvOSDcrFA7cL-j1SOJqM9kXbzdevdjx.html
Some albums were only available in the form of individual songs, keep that in mind.
Thank you, mate. ❤
I would add a few to this great list
My Dying Bride(Best Doom Metal Band)- As the Flower WIthers
Flotsam and Jetsam- No Place for Disgrace
Overkill- Taking Over
Possessed(Godfathers of Death Metal)- Seven Churches
Top 10 for Classic Metal:
Iron Maiden - Powerslave
Judas Priest - Defenders of the Faith
Black Sabbath - Mob Rules
Dio - Lock Up the Wolves
Accept - Restless and Wild
Savatage - Power of the Night
Ozzy Osbourne - Diary of a Madman
Angel Witch - Angel Witch
Saxon - Power and the Glory
Yngwie Malmsteen - Marching Out
Im dead how do I do this
Ah I’m sorry you’ll have to wait for the 100 albums to hear before someone digs you up for playtime 🧟♀️
@@Questformetal got it thanks very much :)
Cant you listen to death metal?
Un die
Don't worry someone will revive you
As a guy that only recently got *deep* into metal,making this kind of list would take months to make for me,but I can agree with this list,gives you a good picture of metal as a whole in my opinion.
My only nitpick (I have some more,but this one is a personal thing) is that I would put Hvis lyset tar oss instead of Filosofem. I think that while a lot of people like the sound of guitar on Filosofem,I feel that it decreases the greatness of the tracks on it. Hvis lyset tar oss has a perfect sound for the kind of atmospheric black metal that Varg tried to do and the songs themselves are great.
Was tempted to put hvis do prefer it now but filosofem is probably their most well known
@@Questformetal
Yeah, can't disagree with it being more well-known,I just think that for someone that tries to get into black metal,Filosofem can be more off-putting than other mandatory classics
Damn, I was not expecting Mutter as a pick. No joke, that was my first metal album, in my opinion that was the first of Rammstein's golden era. Great pick!
Great video, well done. I agree on a lot and of course with a limit of 100 you cannot pack it all in : ) Rock on!!
Excellent! This is the best video Questy has done IMO.
For Black Metal absolutely missing is any album from Inquisition like my favorites:
Ominus Doctrines of the Perpetual Mystical Macrocosm or
Bloodshed Across the Empyrean Altar Beyond the Celestial Zenith
You're the real Metal Archive, man! Thank You!
Intresting list, I was very happy and surprised to see i own most of the albums gues i need to get the rest =)
My fav metal album ever is Somewhere in time , should be there.
I love to see Amorphis on the melodic death metal list! Probably my favorite band of all time alongside Hypocrisy and Iron Maiden. Another candidate for that list would've been Kalmah, their album are stunning. Necrophobic would've also made sense on either the BM or DM lists, great stuff.
These few albums of thrash I think blow up any of the more known bands:
1. Demolition Hammer - Epidemic of Violence
2. Morbid Saint - Spectrum of Death
3. Incubus - Serpent Temptation
4. Dark Angel - Darkness Descends
All great death thrash albums!!! I much prefer Beyond the Unknown to Serpent Temptation though. Epidemic of Violence is an all-time top 10 for me! 🤘
That's a very interesting list tbh! Own some of the records, listened to most of them but there were also a few gems I've only found out after watching this video!!! Thank you Questy!!!
Most of your fav albums are like mine fav. From the Black Metal check Mgla - "Exercises in futility", if you haven't.
My favorite albums are
5. Ride the Lightning-Metallica
4. Leviathan- Mastodon
3. Iowa- Slipknot
2. Extremist- Demon Hunter
1. Blackbird- Alter Bridge
I like Blackbird but not that much lol
hows 7th grade?
Prong is also a super underrated band, and I really think everybody should at least listen to either Cleansing or Rude Awakening by them.
Cleansing I think most people would like since it's the best mix of all their genres: thrash, groove, and industrial. Also it has the absolute BANGER that is Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck.
Rude Awakening is a lot more industrial focused, which won't be as big of a catch-all as Cleansing, but I prefer it more personally. The tone of the guitars is just SOOOOOO good. Without Hope and Mansruin are my favorites.
Really though, I want more people to listen to Prong. They've influenced bands like Korn, NiN, Demon Hunter, Pantera, and White Zombie; yet barely anyone talks about them.
Prove you wrong!
jokes on you, I AM racist! 🫵😆
If Questy's videos where an album, this would be a single! One of your best work!
Well, for Black Metal list I would put Emperor - Anthems...instead In the Nightside. For Doom metal definitely missing My Dying Bride - Turn Loose the Swans and Saturnus - Paradise Belongs to You. But overall, good job for the list.
Wow I’m watching right now on CZcams. I’m repeating this again
Great choice for Judas Priest. I'd have struggled choosing just one Iron Maiden, Metallica, and Motörhead album. I'm more of a Powerslave, Ride the Lightning, and Ace of Spades fan myself but I definitely love your picks. All are phenomenal.
Yes. Finally a top list i can relate to. Good picks! Greetings from Germany!
Great list Questy, a few you missed - Summoning - Stronghold, Drudkh - AA/Blood, Taake - Nattestid/Doedskvad, Windir. How can you miss em 😢
Yes to the leviathan pick. Wrest is a phenomenal songwriter and drummer
Awesome video. Just started listening to Candlemass and Bolt Thrower, both have some great stuff 👍
Missed Cattle Decap here,nice list tho
I think their style of genre blurring is not an entry point for anything
@@gui4816 they take all of the heaviest elements of black, death, grind, thrash,prog, and hardcore to make one of the most brutal albums I’ve ever heard (Monolith of Inhumanity)
I know that you have mentioned the Ulver album Bergtatt, but fuck I think it's so underrated. For me the best album of all time, it's just perfect
its not, everyone knows bergtatt.
Looks like 100 more albums for me, except those that I already know
Hey there I love your videos, just wanted to give you a quick heads up, the first concept album was Tommy by The Who (1969), and King Diamonds first solo album Fatal Portrait is a concept album as well ☠️
Very very solid list, I have to say. Yeah. That's great, man !
Another great video mate! Love this channel.
Nowhere to be found on this list: (in no particular order)
Tiamat -the astral sleep (death metal at his best)
kataklism - sorcery (amaizing)
WASP - the crimson idol (best concept album)
Theatre of tragedy - velvet darkness they fear (masterpiece)
Sadness - ames de marbre (strange small band)
Elend - lecons de tenebres (you guys NEEED to listen to first 2 albums from this band)
Orphaned land - Sahara (gothic metal with oriental influence)
Also: Paradise lost but not Icon and Candlemass but not Tales of creation?
I just discovered your channel, and I really like it! Especially the album rancings.
What I love about metal is that it's like a whole universe. There's always something new to discover.
You'll never reach the end.
Depending on my mood, I can either listen to some Iron Maiden or Morbid Angel.
In this video, you came up with some albums that I have maybe heard of but never really paid attention to.
Put some of them on my playlist to check them out.
Great list, and I will add some albums for progressive and similar subgenres:
Prog / avant-garde: Ihsahn - After, Ihsahn / Emperor is also mastermind of the black metal
Prog: Devin Townsend - Terria, Opeth - Watershed, Frost* - Milliontown, The Contortionist - Language
Sludge / extreme prog: Cult of Luna - Mariner, The Ocean - Phanerozoic I / II
Softer prog / Pink Floyd style: Steven Wilson - Hand cannot erase
Industrial: Nine inch nails - The fragile
Extreme / industrial: Strapping young lad - Alien
Also big respect you mentioned Agalloch - The Mantle + Alcest
Great picks Questy! Obviosly I'll could make some changes incorporating davin townsend's ocean machina, hollenthon's with villest of worms to dead, slipknot's iowa, haken's the mountain, zeal & ardor's devil is fine, ensiferum's debut and sepultura's chaos AD
A couple good Death Metal Albums are Necrophagist - Epitaph and Disincarnate - Dreams of the Carrion Kind.
I’d also add: when the kite string pops, take as needed for pain, musat seremonia, chainsaw dismemberment, a gate throught the bloodstained mirrors, konkurs
Metal hit it's peak with the big 4 (Tom, Dave, Jeff and Kerry).
Great list! For most of these albums, I am 100% agree, they are amazing! ..Part of these, I still miss to listen to, or I am not agree with your choices.
Something weird happened while watching this video. Since 1989 I always said that "Altars of Madness" is the best Death Metal Album of all time. But I just realized, when "Left Hand Path" appeared how much I still love this album, and that I should relisten to it again. Then "Altars of Madness" came and I realized that I don't want to listen to it anymore. This means that "Left hand Path" has passed the test of time, and is now after 31 one years officialy the best Death Metal album of all time! At least for me.
will change...
good list. i would add somewhere in power metal: Riot, thundersteel. ABSOLUTE BANGER!
Primal Fear….
Tomb of the Mutilated/ None So Vile is a classic for sure
Slowly introducing myself to metal. I’d it strange I went from the gateway band (Metallica) straight into Candlemas? (both are fucking amazing)
Ones I've listened to: Black Sabbath, by Black Sabbath, The Number of the Beast, by Iron Maiden, Holy Diver, by Dio, Master of Puppets, by Metallica, Rust in Peace (just got the damn non-remastered album), by Megadeth, The Legacy (I just bought it, and have listened to some of it, but not all of it, all, yet), by Testament, Reign in Blood, by Slayer, Leprosy, by Death, Realm of Chaos, by Bolt Thrower, Altars of Madness, by Morbid Angel, Twilight of the Thunder God, by Amon Amarth, Under the Sign of the Black Mark, by Bathory, De Mysteriis Dom Sathanis, by Mayhem, Filosofem, by Burzum, A Blaze in the Northern Sky, by DarkThrone, Storm of the Light's Bane, by Dissection, In the Nightside Eclipse, by Emperor, At the Heart of Winter, by Immortal, Nemesis Divina, by Satyricon, Nightfall in Middle Earth, by Blind Guardian, Keeper of the Seven Keys: Part I, by Helloween, The Satanist, by Behemoth, Images and Words, by Dream Theater, Lateralus, by Tool, Crack the Skye, by Mastodon, Epicus Doomicus Metallicus, by Candlemass (I've listened to at least some of one of their albums, and I think this one is it), Vulgar Display of Power, by Pantera, Korn, by Korn, Toxicity, by System of a Down.
Still a Noob.
A must is.... The cold white light by Sentenced
ride the lightning > master of puppets
Thanks Skelly Bones
When you were saying it’s the law that you have to like Bolt Thrower, I just had Saw is the Law playing in my head. 😂 I know it’s not Bolt Thrower, but you talking about Sodom made me think of it. Luv U Questie
Finally someone recognizing the genius of Cirith Ungol. But I do find the Doom Metal section sort of lacking, apart from Candlemass of course. Where are Pagan Altar, Saint Vitus, Pentagram or Asphyx?
Plus, a top 100 album list without Crystal Logic by Manilla Road or Hellhammer's Triumph of Death is definitely incomplete!
When it comes to Epic Doom there are quite a few absolutely fantastic newer bands, Atlantean Kodex obviously most prominent, but you could also check out Smoulder (Sarah from BangerTV is their vocalist)
Great video maybe the best you ever made but I would change one or two things. Instead of Bloody Kisses I would have put Turn Loose The Swans. Also I would make one extra. Maudlin Of The Well Bath/Leaving Your Body Map. Quest if you have never heard this check it out. You will love it!
So many albums I could think of. I am surprised you could pick 100 DAMN.
Be interesting to know what you would pick 🍺
@@Questformetal I’m actually was shocked that for thrash you left off Vektor and Power Trip I would argue they were the 2 most important modern Thrash bands. Still really impressed with this list.
Dw in my personal top 20 thrash vid they will be given love 😉
I love your name
Exactly. Terminal Redux by Vektor blows almost everything on this list into space.
Sick ass list, great taste
For thrash:
Peace Sells... But Who's Buying
Rust In Peace
Alice In Hell
Persecution Mania
Ride The Lightning
Breaking the Silence
Feel the Fire
The Legacy
Soldiers of Misfortune
Among the Living
Heavy & Power:
Hall of the Mountain King (original cd was well worth it!)
Paranoid
Powerslave
Somewhere in Time
Death or Glory
Port Royal
Walls of Jericho
Keeper of the Seven Keys Pt1&2
Legacy of Kings
Doom & Death:
Black Sabbath
Trouble/Psalm 9
Epicus Doomicus Metalicus
Nightfall
Ancient Dreams
Spiritual Healing
Symbolic
Human
Individual Thought Patterns
Realm of Chaos
Nice video fella ily
Oh god. You had me up until System of a Down.
Good list on the other genres but needs way more female symphonic metal obvs NW is the right choice but needs more
Okay thanks I can die now.
Icon is a Gothic metal album. Surprised u didn't mention My Dying Bride in the doom category with The Angel And The Dark River. For Folk metal I'd pick any album by Elvaitie.
Anthrax...."Among the Liviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnngggg!"
Things I liked about this list:
1.- Mentioning that Ride the Lightning is better than MoP;
2.- Maiden's Powerslave is better han TNOTB, but "Children of the effin damned";
3.- Annihilator gets some love (used to be my favorite band as teenager);
4.- Carcass' Heartworks was chosen.
5.- No fear of speaking of Mayhem and Burzum together ;).
6.- I freakin' love CATHEDRAL.
7.- Katatonia & Paradise lost get mentioned, as underrated doom bands.
8.- ALCEST is one of the best bands around.
9.- Nightwish get mentioned under the risk of making the list cheesy.
10.- Rust in Peace is indeed Flawless.
Lastly, I don't know if these were mentioned because I was kind of distracted during the vid, but I'd just add Slayer's Reign in Blood and Still life by Opeth.
1 master of puppets
2 Rust in peace
3 Among the living
4 Back in black
5 reign in blood
6 Powers lave
7 Hysteria
8 Human
9 Appetite for destruction
10 Electric circus
Neurosis - Through Silver In Blood
Acid Bath - When The Kite String Pops
Frash is the best kind of meh’ool
Great and Amazing Bands!WINDIR,HELLOWEEN, MOONSORROW!?
This metal album reviewer on Instagram said Mayhem was a terrible band i was pissed
Well that’s his opinion if that’s how he feels so he does haha
Ok I only need 15 more but minus like 7 power metal albums. I got about 9 hours left see ya guys.
Sad I didn't see any more groove metal bands
I also through in your two "favorite metal genres" Glam and Alternative Metal LOL.
I would’ve included the ‘crossover thrash’’ genre (85 - 90)...D.R.I.,Suicidal Tendencies,M.O.D.,Agnostic Front,Ludichrist,Excel,Corrosion of Conformity,Uncle Slam,Cro-mags,Attitude Adjustment,Crumbsuckers,The Accused,Cryptic Slaughter,Beowulf,Nuclear Assault,Stormtroopers of Death,etc.The early 80’s hardcore punk influence in general on thrash/death/ black metal is in concrete.
Excellent choice to go with Moonsorrow for folk metal! A good second choice would be Ensiferum, with solid other bands including Finntroll, Equilibrium, Russia's Arkona.
Stuff like Alestorm and Korpiklaani never did it for me, they put the gimmick in front of the music and the result is a huge letdown.
Great list!!!
There are much better behemoth albums in my opinion though.
You have fantastic taste for metal. My friends give me shit because I love all things metal. It’s easy to get caught up in one genre but there is greatness in every single genre .
Great list!!! But where The Hell is Possesed???????
Overkill. years of decay. I'd put above annihilator imo
I would have chosen Ride the Lightning.
Personally I’d add terminal redux by vektor on here, but otherwise good list
🔥
Everyone needs to hear Ocean Machine: Biomech at least once in their life
The Death Of Music is one of the greatest songs of all time
@@soundslikescape Yep. My personal favorite is Bastard
There has to have been something from Deathspell Omega
Pros for t-shirt!
Ramstein
Fates Warning "Awaken the Guardian" This is the most underrated album. "NO EXIT" From Fates Warning is a close second.
so glad you mentioned Crimson. greatest death metal album EVERRRRR
i would replace type o negative with theatre of tragedy's velvet darkness they fear ;)
No WASP. AC/DC, Mötley Crüe, Ratt, Tiamat or Anathema? Just to mention so many great albums that should’ve been included instead of many you did include in your list.
Iced Earth is a band I had had on my radar. I'd listened to a few songs, but not enough to really have an opinion. And then Jan 6, 2021 happened...
And now... well, I just wish Jon Schaffer had not gotten so involved in that mess. He's obviously not the only musician with problematic politics or a messy private life and obviously 100% of Iced Earth was written and recorded before this, but it still taints the music for me. From everything I've heard, Iced Earth belongs on a list like this, but I just wish I'd gotten to know their music before Jan 6, because now, I'll explore just about every other band before Iced Earth and that's not fair to the rest of the band that had nothing to do with Schaffer's actions that day...
Just listen to it anyway
If you’d consider Moonspell doom metal I’d say Irreligious is a great one for it
It feels like I misunderstood the title. I was hoping for a list of albums to play to someone to kill them.
Well, that would be a suggestion for a future video. Hopefully there will be less than 100 titles…
Pretty good but no Coroner is absurd
StArts with the shittiest must end with the best
my friends make fun of me for listening to mayhem what should i do? is mayhem considered as good music in the bm community?
