#5. Periphery
#6. Born of Osiris

Looks like this can turn into a game.... how many posters before someone DOESN'T list the legendary Metallica?

Pretty good lists so far, sharing some of my favorites in them and alot of bands that I was going to put as honorable mentions.

Not really any special "THAT one is on #1 cause of <enter reason>", just a list of 10 awesome metal bands that i enjoy and their order vary from time to time

And sorry, but Metallica isn't that 'legendary', yes they are awesome / good, but don't feel like they belong in my top 10

A ninja came editing Death to Deth :>

[WaitingforMoP]

So the Metallica streak ended pretty early then

BTW Kaj392 is Megadeth with just 1 "A" in it >_>

It's pretty difficult to decide on only 10 artists but I some how manage to narrow the list down to that. I think a third of my list can easily be replaced by another depending on my mood.

In no particular order:

-Manilla Road
-The Chasm
-Gorguts
-Atheist
-Iron Maiden
-Bolt Thrower

--<Below: Bands that can be easily replaced by others>--

-The Ruins of Beverast
-Darkthrone
-Kreator
-Savatage

On the subject of Metallica: It's hard to call them legendary if half of their discography ranges from mediocre to absolutely horrible.

To be fair that's honestly the case with the majority of bands, but when Metallica was good... it was DAMN GOOD!

[Deleted]

It's hard to pick i think
But mine would have to be something like..

1. Slipknot
2. Machine Head
3. Kataklysm
4. Five Finger Death Punch
5. Avenged Sevenfold
6. Hatebreed
7. Stone Sour
8. Idiom
9. New Hate Rising
10. Bleeding Through

I just can't stand Metallica, I can't enjoy any of there songs, I know alot of them, but none of them really are like WOW to me... Seen em live twice and both times i was just really bored tbh, They have no energ on stage.

Abit different from other lists i think, Idiom and New Hate Rising are both small bands, Idiom being a local one and i doupt anyone here would of heard of them,I personaly love em and i know the people also.
but my top 4 are my favs of all time, I'd of put Blink 182 at number 5, But i wouldn't class them as Metal.

[Deleted]

Heidevolk
In Flames
Moonsorrow
Sepultura
Amorphis
Mastodon
Amon Amarth
KoRn
Slayer
Megadeth

No particular order. I enjoy folk/pagan, hence the listing of Heidevolk, Moonsorrow etc. Sankaritarina would be my one of my favourite moonsorrow songs.

May our souls eternally live on in Valhalla!

my number 1 has been my n1 for a very very very long time, the otheres are kiiinda varying


1: Iced Earth, legendary band, should be way more famous
2: Sonata Arctica
3: Dragonforce, yes bring on the haters, their new album is freakin amazing though
4: Five Finger Death Punch
5: Children of Bodom
6: Amon Amarth
7: Hellowen
8: Firewind
9: Trivium
10: Hammerfall

[Bigbazz]

Arch Enemy
Pantera
Machine Head
Lamb of God
Children of Bodom
In Flames
Strapping Young Lad
Rammstein
Korn
Killswitch Engage

3: Dragonforce, yes bring on the haters, their new album is freakin amazing though

Agreed

but my top 4 are my favs of all time, I'd of put Blink 182 at number 5, But i wouldn't class them as Metal.

Good, that would have seemed idiotic. Some bands some people listed so far could be considered not metal, like Thrice & AC/DC... but I guess those can slide but yeah if someone called Blink metal they'd have to be out of their mind XD

[Pull My Finger]

In no particular order:

Metallica
Megadeth
Kamelot
Opeth
Symphony X
Testament
Pantera
Queensryche

I can't settle on another two.
