Sab is great, but a double mention is a bit much for only 7 entries.

This list that magazine did is a bit boring, it's just the most popular albums ranked by popularity and age 😅 Maybe they could have put something that wasn't more than 30 years old. Even though, the list doesn't lie, these albums are great and could be in the top of everybody's favourite albums.

[hanz]

I agree with these bro but where's Rust in Peace?

[monicaherreramartinez]

Slayer es lo mejor no comparacion con el resto

[lukaszbedkowski]

Blizzard of Ozz?
Diary of a Madman?
Bark at the Moon?
What Ozzy???

[_FadetoOrion_]

Theres too many amazing albums to put on a list

[Vasiliy]

согласен, кроме слэйера, мегадет 1986 где?

[gen-zeke-]

Black Sabbath should be #1 and #2, but also #3 with "SBS", #4 with "Volume 4." Then go from there. Its hard to deny Megadeth early works. After Sabbath there should be Maiden and Judas automatically.

What's the song on the background

[millasboo]

So they just love the 80’s and Late 70’s they just had to say that and we’d know about half of the list just by that alone

[SauloChavez-tgle]

Black Sabbath barriendo el suelo con todos 💀
