There are probably 100 metal essential albums, to be honest.

It's harder too because you'll name something and people will go "well that's not metal, it's hard rock" or "nu metal doesn't count" or whatever.

Besides all of that there are a lot of different styles, and there are quite a few forgotten gems out there.

Limited to 1 album per band and in no order and keeping a pretty narrow definition of "metal". Mix of my own personal taste and what I would probably give to someone who had never heard metal before.
Iron Maiden - Powerslave Judas Priest - Sad Wings of Destiny Mercyful Fate - Don't Break The Oath King Diamond - Them Black Sabbath - The Mob Rules Megadeth - Peace Sells But Whose Buying? Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Meallicus Anthrax - Among The Living Slayer - Reign In Blood Motorhead - Overkill Fates Warning - Awaken The Guardian Savatage - Gutter Ballet Strapping Young Lad - City Death - Individual Thought Patterns Edge of Sanity - Purgatory Afterglow
Not necessarily my favourites by those bands, but those are albums I think are "essential"
