You also don't mention Blind Guardian once, which is a massive power metal omission. I'd suggest perhaps Tales From the Twilight World (turning point from speed metal) or one of the fan favourites, which is any of the next three. My personal choice would be Somewhere Far Beyond. Blind Guardian is not just a great band but very relevant on a list like this because they are probably the best known band of harder power metal and a very different breed to most acts in the genre. 

Rage could also be mentioned for the same reason.

This is great Mike. My first suggestion would be about folk metal. You have Skyclad there which is a big proto-folk metal milestone but you really should also have the first Cruachan album Tuatha na Gael (1995). Arguably it was the first of the Celtic metal style and a major turning point for the genre as a whole.

You're right about Entombed, Terroizer and Carcass so i added them.

Not convinced about Cannibal Corpse. They were simply joining the bandwagon.

What's so unique about Machine Head or the Sepultura album? Seems like they were also just following the trends.

Slipknot maybe. Don't know them that well but they definitely are unique. Will check them out more.

Beneath The Remains - Sepultura. I know you have them under 1986, but this was a huge milestone album.

1994:
Burn My Eyes - Machine Head.

Others:
Cannibal Corpse probably needs a mention. I'd go for Butchered at Birth rather than Eaten Back to Life.
Carcass needs a mention. They invented goregrind with the first two albums, Necroticism was voted Terrorizer magazine's album of the decade for the 1990s (it was highly influential), and Heartwork blah blah... melodic crap.Wink
Slipknot?

That's just from a quick look, but that's a good fun, cool sort of list!Smile

Cannibal Corpse were the biggest death metal band in the world (probably still are) and managed to get in the Ace Ventura movie in 1994. There was a lot of mainstream interest around them, particularly for their lyrics. Tomb of the Mutilated was also the first album I remember which had a parental advisory warning for artwork as well as music. That was big.

Beneath The Remains was the album where people noticed Sepultura. They were almost completely unheard of before that. They renewed interest in thrash, and opened up Brazil and South America in general as a reliable source of metal. They were spoken of as the next Slayer. It's sort of hard to convey now what a big deal it actually was.

Burn My Eyes was a big deal at the time too. Like Chaos AD, it was a stepping stone from thrash to groove metal, and even in to nu-metal. Same as Beneath The Remains, it's hard to demonstrate what a big deal they were at the time.

These are just a couple of my observations as an aging metalhead.Wink These were milestones I remember.Smile It's your list, so do what you may! I'll have a closer look when I have a bit more time.

I haven't had time to have a proper look yet but I'm looking forward to checking it out. I guess these type of things can never be fully inclusive but at a glance you seem to have most the important releases.

One that immediately comes to mind that not's there is Sad wings Of Destiny - Judas Priest.
