Metallica's Master of Puppets, or if we are looking at Maiden, Powerslave! (their best overall, I believe) If I could add one more, Judas Priest's Screaming for Vengeance!
Ooh I think I would have to say... Queen: Greatest Classic. :).
Master Of Puppets was OK not my favorite though. Dave Mustaine and Megadeth own Metallica as far as thrash. Powerslave goes 3rd in my Maiden line up with Number of the Beast being second.
AC/DC peaked with Back in Black and the follow up For Those About to Rock. Both were solid albums definitely, but they declined so fast after that by making albums with 1 solid song and the rest garbage. Who Made Who was their last album I bought.
Queen has a few songs I like but never bought their music either.
AC/DC - Back in black ... well pretty much any AC/DC Album released within that time span was awesome.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
