Metallica is of course classic.
Only like a couple of Slayer songs.
Pantera is awesome.
Don't know much Iron Maiden.
Black Sabbath is awesome too.

It's a hard one. Though I guess I take Metallica with Black Sabbath being close 2nd and Pantera 3rd.

Out of that list Metallica and Pantera. Of all time I'd say Dragonforce, Megadeth and Black Label Society.

I didn't say they were. But they're still my favourite band of all time. Also Megadeth>Metallica.

No you pretty much did. How would it make any sense to say a band is the best metal band of all time when they aren't even the best of their sub-genre?

Ok, let me reword what I said - Dragonforce are my favourite band of all time and my favourite power-metal band.

I like Metallica, but I didn't hear the rest of the bands ( I only started hearing metal and I pick songs from here and there ).

Hey, did anybody hear Metallica's No Leaf Clover? Is it good?

the thread is for the best out of those 5. Most people will argue that Rage Against the Machine are not metal anyway.

[QUOTE="antiredcap"]How can people STILL like Metallica, They had one REALLY good album and that was there first one. The last 5 were utter rubbish and the rest were okay. I think so many people like them because it is "cool" to like there watered-down "Metal".NavigatorsGhost

LOL WUT?

What about Ride The Lightning, Master of Puppets, and ...And Justice for All?

And after that you can refer to them as "watered-down". The Black album was their first "watered-down" album, and its a pretty damn good album (although I much prefer their earlier work), only reason its hated by a lot of Metallica fans is because it was a radical departure from their previous work.

And after that every album has sucked.

Maiden has been far more consistent. They released 2 crappy albums but that was after they had changed lead singers...for the second time.

Thats just your opinion, and probably no one elses. There were so many amazing songs in those Metallica albums I mean cmon...

One
Master of Puppets
And Justice for All...
Blackened
Battery
To Live is to Die

And thats only from the two of three albums mentioned.

Are you saying Iron Maiden isn't commercialized?

Clearly you don't know the definition of commercialized.

Metallica had quite a few albums that were really great IMO. Master of puppets, Black album and ride the lightning. That doesn't mean that the other bands on the list aren't great either.

Dragonforce are pretty niche, Power Speed Metal, I like the distinct sound, but there are lots of bands in the pure Power Metal genre that are better than them.

They're actually more of a "core" band than "metal".

Of that list Iron Maiden followed by Black Sabbath but the lack of Megadeth means this poll is flawed.
