Today, Dream Theater won Loudwire's March Metal Madness tournament with
their immortal album, Images and Words! They started by beating the
legendary Ronny James Dio and his album Holy Diver. In the second
round, they went on to beat Back in Black by AC/DC. In the next round,
they went on to upset the hopes of the iconic Judas Priest and their
album Screaming For Vengeance. Then, in the quarterfinals, against all
odds they beat Megadeth's metal classic Rust In Peace! Finally, they beat
what is perhaps the most iconic metal album of all time, Master of
Puppets by Metallica in the final round of the tournament! It should be
noted that on Facebook, Metallica has just barely under 30 million fans
while Dream Theater has just over 3 million. Quality beats quantity!

I think I'd choose Images and Words over Holy Diver and Screaming For Vengeance, but not in any other matchup.
I saw Napalm Death's Facebook page advertising a match with Scum versus another album. They're one of those bands that doesn't have 1 or 2 clear favourite album among fans, but I guess Scum is the most iconic for helping launch grindcore.
