Recommending my all-time favorite rock/metal music

I love music, it helps me get through the hard times and the good times. I do not like listening to modern music -- at all. Techno, EDM, pop, you name it. I hate it all. I can't bear none of it, in my opinion it's all just electronical noise, you could say the same thing about electric guitars and whatnot but at least that sounds good. I love rock, metal and classical music, the fact that I only exclusively like this kind of music doesn't mean I don't like listening to game soundtracks, they hit different. I like listening to the Doom soundtrack a lot while playing Doom and I also love the Dusk soundtrack, Terraria soundtrack is pretty good too and there are some others I like. I don't know how to explain this but a game soundtrack gives a game personality, which makes the game fun to play when it has some fitting music. That might actually be the entire reason why I started playing Undertale, I kind of loved how the game fit with the feel of the game. Space Invaders wouldn't be the same without the 8-bit music and Mario Kart Wii wouldn't be the same without the catchy music.

ANYWAY, enough about games. Here is my full list of recommendations from all my favorite bands, from softest to hardest, non-particular order and non-alphabetically, just whatever comes to mind I'll write down. Artist first, album second. Sometimes there are self-titled albums so just making this clear so there isn't any confusion.

In my opinion basically all classical music is amazing so I think I'll list everything by author, and add notes as to which song is best in my opinion, musicians didn't really release albums back then so I guess this is an exception

I have probably listened to all of these albums at least 10 times each, and probably even more to the ones I love most. This was more a list of albums I like to listen to, I probably didn't get them all since these came all off the top of my head. I will add more if I find new good ones or if I forgot one. I probably have undiagnosed OCD and I like my stuff nice and organized, so this is a nice way to keep track of all the good music I have in my life. If you have something I might like, send them here, I will listen. Happy listening.
