Justice for All is a nearly perfect album.
Ten is a perfect album.
It's close for me too but man, Eddie is just so damned good.
I have as varied a playlist as anyone. Right now I cruise in the Suburban with everything from Metallica, AC/DC, some old Motown stuff, Stapleton, Waylon, Tool, and Jay-Z on my iTunes. Jay Z’s Black Album is one of my top 2-3 albums of all time. I always go back and forth between that and Tool’s Lateralus. AC/DC Back in Black occupies the #1 spot.
One thing I never got into was the grunge of the early 90’s. At that point I was developing my affinity for rap/hip hop. A tribe called quest, wu-tang, and the west coast jams dominated my discman from about 91-94. So I figure I missed out on the Seattle grunge band influx. Later on as my sound palate grew I got into it a little bit but not enough to put them over Metallica who I’ve been listening to since the 80s. Funny, after I responded to the initial post I had the radio on in the background and Alive came on.

haha Alive is dope.
So I was raised on such an eclectic sound base, my brother being a Woodstock head, my middle brother playing in a funk band. Guitar was king but so were other music forms and all of us were symphony types (trumpet, trombone and tuba respectively).
I do plan to post multiple lists like this should be a fun distraction for those interested.
But its funny you mention hiphop and grunge. Grunge really spoke to me, being a kid who grew up in the hair band era and early hip hop it was an easy transition. Anthrax I'm The Man remix with Public Enemy was like the perfect sound to me. Rock Box and Raising Hell were super guitar heavy as well and lets not forget Walk This Way. But college for sure was Pearl Jam, my personal favorite Stone Temple Pilots and Nine Inch Nails.
Love music tho but yea, alt/grunge is probably my third favorite general genre, so many great groups.
Best concert I saw back then was Rage/Public Enemy concert tour.
