    What I mean by 10/10 albums, is albums that you love, but practically don't have any filler, or are either flawless from start to finish. I'm talking about albums that you can listen to, but without having to press the skip button at all. These are my picks:

    Emperor - In The Nightside Eclipse/Anthems To The Welkin at Dusk
    Rush - Hemispheres
    Dimmu Borgir - Enthrone Darkness Triumphant
    Nokturnal Mortum - The Voice of Steel
    Fields of The Nephilim - The Nephilim
    Agalloch - The Mantle
    Darkthrone - A Blaze in The Northern Sky
    Type O Negative - October Rust
    In The Woods... - Omnio
    Anathema - Eternity
    Iron Maiden - Somewhere in Time
    Paradise Lost - Draconian Times
    Amorphis - Elegy/Tuonela/Silent Waters
    U2 - Boy
    Old Man's Child - Born of The Flickering
    Tiamat - Wildhoney
    Opeth - Blackwater Park
    Dissection - Storm of The Light's Bane

    Metallica - Master of Puppets
    Slayer - Reign in Blood
    Megadeth - Rust in Peace
    Faith No More - Angel Dust
    AC/DC - Back in Black

    AC/DC - Back in Black

    They are great albums. I forgot completely about 'Appetite for Destruction', it's incredible album, and one of the albums that got me into both heavy rock and metal in the first place way back in 1991.

    Fear Factory - Demanufacture
    Machine Head - Burn My Eyes
    Chimaira - Impossibility of Reason
    Stapping Young Lad - City
    Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
    The Haunted - One Kill Wonder
    Impaled - Mondo Medicale
    Necrophagia - The Divine Art of Torture
    Pantera - The Great Southern Trendkill
    Ministry - Psalms 69

    Prolly loads more but the above immediately spring to mind as being flawless IMO.

    Just looking at my CD collection beside me and these are what jump out:

    Anthrax - Among The Living
    Black Sabbath - Paranoid
    Death - Symbolic
    Gojira - From Mars To Sirius
    Pink Floyd - The Wall*
    Sepultura - Chaos AD
    Sick Of It All - Scratch The Surface
    System Of A Down - Toxicity


    *The Wall might be seen as a controversial choice as half the album is made up of weird fillers. However, I would never skip past any of it as I think its such an awesome album from start to finish. I would have put down DSOTM except that On The Run pisses me off.

    As much as I love Maiden I couldn't decide on any album as the majority of them are 50% awesome, 50% crap. Killers and TNOTB came close but Prodigal Son and Gangland prevented this.

    Harder than it looks to pick out a selection, there are so many albums which have one dodgy track which rules them out a bit (I'm looking at you, Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence, 7th Symphony, Once, 2112, The Number Of The Beast...)

    I never thought I'd see anyone else who also really loves 'Silent Waters' as much as myself. It really is a brilliant album, and I much prefer it to 'Eclipse'.

    That's a horrible choice for a 10/10 album!

    Pardon!? It's one of the best albums I've ever heard. I fully admit that Trivium before and since have been fairly shocking, but every song on that album is incredibly well written, performed and varied.
