Who do u guys are the best by genre?
Mine would be
Thrash: Metallica
Nu-Metal:Korn
Thrash/Speed: Megadeth
Progressive: ?
Power: Children of Bodom
Heavy/Traditional: Jag Panzer
Groove/Trash: Pantera
Gothic/Doom: Type O Negative
Death: Cant pick a fav from Sepultura or Deicide
Melodic Death: Shadows Fall
Industrial: Fear Factory
Sludge: Black Label Society

 

[w1ck3d_c10wn]

ok well Fear Factory were only death metal on their first 2 cds, Concrete and Soul Of a New Machine... on the other albums they are Industrial Metal.

Metallica were initially speed, speed/thrash is the same genre, but for that its a tossup of Slayer and Megadeth, with Kreator close behind. I would put Destroyer 666 as well since they are blackened thrash.

Nu-Metal: oh god as if this deserves to be mentioned.

Prog : Opeth

Death: Nile, Cannibal Corpse, or Soulside Journey era Darkthrone

Power - Children of Bodom

"Groove": don't really listen to any of it

Heavy Metal : don't know

Doom : Iron Monkey or Electric Wizard

Melodic Death : another genre i dislike

Black Metal - Darkthrone, Buzum or Emperor

 

[Korn]

Oh shit yeah i forgot Bodom, there good, so is Kreator and Slayer and Obituary
Fav sludge is probably Black Label Society

 

[Zyklon]

Thrash: Meshuggah (not really thrash, but...)
Nu-Metal:Gah...Deftones
Thrash/Speed: ...
Progressive: Tool
Power: ...
Heavy/Traditional: ...
Groove/Trash: ...
Gothic/Doom: Agalloch, My Dying Bride
Death: Cryptopsy
Melodic Death: Opeth
Black Metal: Emperor, Ulver, Burzum

 

[Ollz San]

Nu metal: deftones or mudvayne..

power: nightwish

Progressive: dream theater

Black: satyricon

heavy: sentenced (?)

melodic death: dark tranquility

 

[adsta]

Progressive: Dream Theater or Symphony X
Power: Nightwish or Bodom
Melodic Death: In Flames

 

[AsyLum]

Iron Maiden, Seraphim, Slapshock, Running Wild would probably top the most played on my list

 

[artfag]

Thrash: Artimus Pyledriver
Power: Dragonforce
Doom: Khanate/Sunn/Earth
Death: Gorguts
Melodic Death: Arsis
Black Metal: Bathory

Re......spect.......walk.......whaddya Say!!!

Sorry man, huh

A few pages later:

I cant belive u dont know who dimbag is

Sorry, not trying to stir up shit here but it just occured to me how weird that is. You've heard of Dimebag, *can't believe* that someone hasn't heard of Dimebag (regardless of whether that was sarcastic or not) and ... you... don't recognize the lyrics to "Walk"?

That's kinda like, saying Oasis are the greatest band ever and looking really confused when someone sings says "You're my wonderwaaaaaaall"

Sorry just had to get that out.
Meanwhile, I just got about 20 compilation CD's filled with "metal" music, apparently. Was wondering if any of these bands are worth listening to because it's too much to get through...

Angra
Apocalyptica
Avantasia
Dark Moor
Edguy
Evergrey
Gamma Ray
Hammerfall
Helloween
Immortal
Kamelot
Nevermore
Paradise Lost
Rhapsody
Skyclad
Therion

Any comments on any of those bands would be appreciated.

 

[w1ck3d_c10wn]

sounds like a lotta power metal, i haven't listened to most of that, but some guys i know who are into metal love it, especially edguy, kamelot, immortal, therion, apocalyptica and angra.

 

[withoutaface]

Thrash: Can't decide between Megadeth and Slayer.
Nu-Metal: RATM (If they count as nu metal)
Progressive: Porcupine Tree
Power: Children of Bodom
Heavy/Traditional: Iron Maiden or Judas Priest
Death: Sepultura
Black Metal: Haven't heard much of it, but Marduk's pretty awesome

 

[withoutaface]

Apocalyptica are awesome

I don't know what you're into but most of those bands are really good. Only my opinion though.

I second the comment on Apocalyptica
Metal with cello! whoo!
