Post Need help for general development in metal
So I've been ranted against several times for not knowing anything about the important bands in heavy metal, so I decided to improve my general development. For this, I can use your help too. I have some CDs on my to buy-list to compensate my lack of knowledge, and maybe you have some good ideas that I can put on my list. The oldest albums I own are Blind Guardian's Battalions of Fear and Helloween's Keeper part 1.

List so far:

Dio - Holy Diver
Iron Maiden - Powerslave
Megadeth - Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?
Queen - A Night At The Opera (ok not metal but still)
Queensrÿche - Operation: Mindcrime
Scorpions - Love At First Sting

Any more suggestions?

On another forum, someone said that Metal can't go more pop than British Steel. Not that I consider it a bad thing, but what would be better: BS or Painkiller?

When you are talking about some of the older bands with long histories you may be better served to get one of those compilation cds like Judas Priest - Priest Live. It would give you more of an overall taste of them.
Some bands I'd suggest are:

Judas Priest
Iron Maiden
Accept
W.A.S.P.
Ratt
L.A. Guns
Ensiferum
Motley Crue
Scorpions
Ozzy Osbourne
Dio
Primal Fear


I'm sure I forgot something, but that should get you started for now.
