I start this topic at most forums I belong to, so let's get this site down then shall we?

My view on metal is that it is probably one of the best form of music, it has energy, emotion, rhythym...and it pisses off adults!

Slayer is my favorite metal band...they changed the way we look at intensity.

The list is a bit small and its hard to choose from because there all so good... it's missing Pantera

I'll go with the Knot

Hmmm I am a prenapster fan of Metallica, meaning before they became money hungry *****s. And Slayer is like Metallica ripoffs in a bad way, and numetal is quite ordinary and boring, but Black Sabbath , Manowar and alot of other metal I like, but as usual, I like everything from classical music, to power metal (Nightwish and Sonata Arctica), and a hell of other great music. So that is my point of view

Missing 2 very influential bands, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest and heck will even put in Motorhead for leading the wave of British Heavy Metal.

Metallica is without a doubt an influnetial band, Kill Em All, Ride The Lightning, Master of Puppets and Justice for All, 4 great metal albums, personally though Kill Em All, which got them notice a lot of credit should go to Dave Mustaine for coming up with majority of the riffs and such, Master was their peak though. Now though, they aren't metal anymore imo, just hard rock, since Load it's been downhill for them in terms of music, no longer interest me.

Slayer, really think they should drop the whole anti religion image. And yes it's an image, Kerry King can write all he wants about it, but in the end it's so forced when it's sung and doesn't look real, and really it's getting old, they haven't put out a good album since 1990 Seasons In the Abyss.

Even though Slipknot is nu-metal, technically not metal metal, like other bands because of chord progression and the way they arrange their songs.

My fav bands Iron Maiden, still going strong after all these years, never have come close to selling out, and still one of the best bands today, Dream Theater for being a great band and great set of musicians, John Petrucci FTW! and usually myself just listen mostly to progressive, power or thrash, other favs I like include Megadeth, Queensryche, Strapping Young Lad, The Devin Townsend Band, Blind Guardian, Symphony X, Nevermore, Iced Earth, Rhapsody, Kamelot, Stratovarius, Kreator, Demons And Wizards, Sonata Arctica, Dio,

Whatever metal heads around the world want to make you belive, led zeppelin is NOT metal! They are a rock band that inspired the sound that later became metal. It's like calling the troggs punk...sheeesh

:blink: Slowing down? :blink: As I got older I rather sped it up. You know, Kiss when I was 10, Exploited and Dead Kennedys by the time I was in my 20s... LARD...

I'm still all for steady pace rock'n'roll. AC/DC and the Ramones are still among my fav bands. Don't listen to metal that much, a bit of old Iron Maiden, Sabbath... I gave the BM a go, but I found it too pointless

By slowing down, I meant that I have started to listen music that is usually slower, darker, less agressive, moodier. But that's just the top of the iceberg. I listen a lot of music, not just metal.

80 per cent of the people so far have voted for "other" as their favourite band. How many of those would have voted for Iron Maiden for example?

[Mighty Midget]

I say extend it to include rock'n'roll and hard rock, like AC/DC and Motörhead.
