well, i've been listening to metal since i was 13. i'm 31 now. there are a shitload of subgenres. what kind of music are you into now? like give me your top 5 artists. or are you looking for something different? do you want some swords and sorcery shit or do you want some brutal cookie monster shit? do you want some technical shit?

metal isn't worth it
listen to Jeff Beck

gorgets obscura
cynic traced in air
megadeth rust in peace
irepress sol eye sea
suffocation pierced from within
exodus bonded by blood
mayhem dmds
slayer reign in blood
sleep dopesmoker

Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind, Powerslave

Just tell me your favourite metal albums of any subgenre

Crack the Skye is easily the best Mastodon album, and I've known many non-metalheads who like it alot.

Holy Mountain is more accessible for metal noobs though

Don't buy into the memes, Tool are a great band.

Some people claim this album is metal. I disagree with them, but it's worth mentioning for the purposes of this thread.

good list, but I came here to fight

South of Heaven > Reign in Blood
