I'm assuming you're not counting Sabbath in this list?

I mean, on one hand, that is kind of crazy-- "Here's a metal list, but for no reason at all, Black Sabbath doesn't count." On the other hand, what would be the point of knocking off, say, Graveland, to fit on a Black Sabbath record? It'd be like making sure that CITIZEN KANE, THE GODFATHER, and CASABLANCA were all on my "top movies" lists. Like, it just goes without saying. Same thing for Metallica. Iron Maiden "count," they just didn't make the cut.
