this list is just rediculous IMO

http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/listoftheday/69730/the-25-best-heavy-metal-bands

led zeppelin is not metal, non the less heavy metal, they are ****c rock and at some points hard rock.

acdc... again hard rock. van halen, thats a joke, the only thing that comes close to metal is EVH's eruption solo, same with jimi henrix.

seeing rush on their actually made me laugh, their progressive or arena rock, metal? what song? limelight and tom sawyer are hardcore metal songs amiryte?

iron maiden should be #1 imo, and if they are going to have priest on there, where is motley crue?

where is megadeath?

with this F'd up of a list them might as well have put Pink floyd on there, i mean " one of these days i'm going to cut you into little pieces" is pretty metal .. right? LOL

"CIassic Rock" isn't really a genre.. Also, the band is called Megadeth. I get more angry at seeing the tags on Last.Fm though. Everyband and their mother is "indie" :|

as a metal fan for almost 10 years ive come to realize that when the majority of people talk about metal, they havent the slightest idea what theyre talking about. there are more bands considered metal by ignorant sources than actual metal bands that even exist (which is pretty bad considering theres so damn many of them)

The Jimi Hendrix Experience? Alice in Chains? I bet the same guy that does those stupid ass tabloid articles wrote this. I'm not really a metal fan but even I know this is dumb.

You know it fails hard when this comment I saw has a better list of metal

wtf???
does anyone kno what heavy metal is??
this is just rock
if you want heavy metal
listen to:
The Acacia Strain
Emmure
Tony Danza and the Tap Dance Extravaganza
Bring ME The Horizon
The Devil Wears Prada
Underoath
Killswitch Engage
Lamb of God
etc...

the only thing remotely heavy metal up there is pantera. [profane]
if you think this is heavy metal you obviously dont kno music!

I've never been one to trust "official" ranking lists for bands. Even more-so when it comes to metal. Sources like that don't know jack **** about metal.

*List*

There's only one band on that whole list that is metal (although rather disputed) and worth listening to. Everything else shouldn't even be there. Seriously, who the hell puts The Devil Wears Prada and Underoath on a metal list?

Ironically I was looking at that list right before I walked on over to OT. I was heavily apalled. Surprised A7X didn't make it, when their guitarist has been called the best in the world.

Yeah that list sucked HARD, Megadeth deserves a spot for sure and Anthrax for basically creating "Rap Metal" with the song bring the noise, they also forgot about Dream Theater (EPIC BAND), maybe Danzig. Hell if I wrote that list I would include Type O Negative (obviously XP) they are the Fathers of Goth Metal

Rush. Apparently, they were pretty f'ing metal. I guess Cinderella Man was darker than I thought it was.

Their older stuff is rather disputed in terms of what genre it actually is, and it seems as though it would be an unusual mix of metal core and traditional heavy metal. Though when we're talking about their newer stuff like City of Evil, then that's just flat-out metalcore. Though when it comes right down to it, they're not usually considered metal.

The list was promising with Meshuggah, Uriah Heep, and Mercyful Fate - but then I saw Kiss, Spinal Tap, and Led Zeppelin.

I nearly had a seizure when I saw Hendrix on the list. I don't know why but i'm actually MAD about this list. ...and it has nothing to do with the writer's opinion. Most of those bands are not metal.

Unlike you, I came into this thread with knowledge on the subject at hand. I doubt many people will dispute my metal variety. Now you on the other hand, came in here looking for a fight, bringing attention. Good job, now get out.

...M'kay. :|

Anyway, Black Sabbath does belong on top. They invented metal. And Pantera deserves a spot in there too, Metallica as well. But where's the Megadeth? Anthrax? Why put Rush? Why Jimi? Might as well put Dethklok!

Slipknot would be rather fitting on that list considering it's mostly a crap list (with a few notable exceptions), so I guess in a way, you have a point.
