| Who Are The Greatest Metal Bands??
Ok. So the ranking criteria: Rating out of 10 for originality and influence, rrating out of 10 for overall discog, number of essential albums, and rating rout of 5 for longevity | | 8 |  | Megadeth
Rust in Peace
CBF doing another one but Overall is 25 | | 7 |  | Slayer
Reign in Blood
Originality: 8
Took thrash and made it way more agressive and intense, but still relied heavily on a pre-existing genre
Infuence: 8.5
Very influential on early DM bands because of their intense style
Overall Discog: 3.9, with 5 essentials
Great opening run, maybe not as many outright classics as death, maiden, sabbath, but a very consistent and excellent run
of records.
Longevity: 3.25
Had a dip in form but still released respectable records unlike others
Overall: 29.65 | | 6 | | Metallica
Ride the Lighting
Originality: 9
Pretty much the first true thrash band
Influence:
Impossible to count the amount of bands that credit Metallica. I mean they
influenced Trivium guys. TRIVIUM
Overall Discog: 4, with 4 essentials (you know i know moving on)
Great early run, but the kind of cool but obviously less metal self titled, and, well you know the rest... :/
Longevity: 2.5
duh
Overall: 29.5 | | 5 |  | Opeth
Still Life
Originality: 9
The influence of the early death metal bands is there, but Opeth really defined the
progressive death metal sound
influence: 7
Very influential in the more progressive side of extreme metal, but alas that is a
fairly small genre
Overall Discography: 5/5, with 6 essentials
Perhaps excluding heritage, its brilliantly consistent discography that has bounties
of excellence
Longevity: 5
As stated, its a brilliant discog. Almost 20 years of amazing records
Overall: 31.5 | | 4 |  | Judas Priest
Painkiller
Originality: 9
Heavier than sabbath and more metallic than maiden. Priest had their own niche
Influence: 8
Very influential early on but loses out in the modern era to maiden and death
Overall Discography: 4.5/5, with 7 essentials (Sad wings, Stained class, sin after
sin, british steel, screaming, defenders, painkiller)
Longevity: 4
releasing what many consider their opus 16 years after their debut says it all
Overall: 32.75 | | 3 |  | Black Sabbath
Paranoid
Originality:10
Duh invented the fucking genre
Influence: 10
Duh invented the fucking genre
Overall Discography: 4.75, with 6 essentials (everything up to sabotage and heaven
and hell)
Longevity: 3
Ruled for the early years and made a comeback with heaven and hell and mob rules,
but all in all they burned out quickly.
Overall: 33.50 | | 2 |  | Death
Symbolic
Originality: 9
Influenced greatly by bands like slayer and possessed, but came into their own and
a widely known as the first true death metal band
Influence:10
It Death
Overall Discography: 5/5, with 6 essentials (everything cept spiritual)
Just got better. Easily the best discog in death metal
Longevity:4.5
Never put a foot wrong, yet weren't really around long enough to gain the full 5/5
Overall: 35 | | 1 |  | Iron Maiden
Powerslave
Originality: 9
Yes the heavy metal style had been done before by judas and sabbath mainly, but
Maiden's power metalish, melodic and epic traits make them a very unique and
distinguishable band
Influence: 9
Very influential in the formation of power metal and melodeath, as well as countless
other bands
Discography overall: 5/5-Number of Essentials=8 (First 7 and brave new world)
yes there were slumps, but with the quality and quantity already there, not many
bands can touch them
Longevity= 4.5
Not only did they have a stretch of 10 years where everything they touched turned
to gold, but following the great Brave new world, they have returned for a second
wind releasing some great albums with classic songs e.g paschendale, when the
wild wwind blows
Overall: 35 | |

03.15.13 | dude megadeth | KILL
03.15.13 | beherit
hellhammer
poison | CaptainHadouken
03.15.13 | No Dio? No Motorhead? No Slayer? No Mercyful fate? | Vakarian12
03.15.13 | limp bizkit | SIMBOLIC
03.15.13 | I just did an objective point. Dio only really had two that stand out, with some other quite good but no that goof | YankeeDudel
03.15.13 | no bm wow | SIMBOLIC
03.15.13 | same with mercyful.
Hmm neurosis they might make it ill run them through the formula ;) | CaptainHadouken
03.15.13 | Goofy metal... meh true. Still one amazing metal vocalist though. | Topaz
03.15.13 | well since metal is essentially a compilation of sounds resembling nothing, meaning nothing, and doing absolutely no good for humanity, id say... | SIMBOLIC
03.15.13 | "5 is way too low"
So who would they replace? Maiden? Death? Priest? Sabbath? Come on. | Funeralopolis
03.15.13 | opeth
electric wizard
megadeth
black sabbath
yea list is pretty correct | SIMBOLIC
03.15.13 | No Bm cause i ran a few bands through the formula and they didnt stack up | savagecabbage
03.15.13 | priest
bring the hate
opeth is better on all fronts | SIMBOLIC
03.15.13 | Oh yeh any suggestions to improve my rating formulas would be coo | SIMBOLIC
03.15.13 | big call savage dont let 70'sPriest see you | YankeeDudel
03.15.13 | well in that case get another formula
try the one where you dont have a formula | savagecabbage
03.15.13 | topaz go back to your hole, troll | YankeeDudel
03.15.13 | sabbath will always be #1 its not even a debate really | SIMBOLIC
03.15.13 | Yeh i agree sabbath is the greatest
but there's a difference between best and greatest | savagecabbage
03.15.13 | I know man priest is essential and i respect what they do. I just think that opeth is the fucking tits. | ViralOblivion
03.15.13 | Neurosis
Immolation
Death
Gorguts
Black Sabbath
| YankeeDudel
03.15.13 | once you factor in influence too much on these lists you're always down to the same 20 or so bands. | SIMBOLIC
03.15.13 | Yeh true but it has to be a factor. I forgot to rank the discography out of 10, rather than 5 :/
And bands like neurosis might crack it, but im just doing the most well known and respected off the top of my head | savagecabbage
03.15.13 | Neurosis is the fucking shit | SIMBOLIC
03.15.13 | I just got bored and devised a ranking scheme to outright determine who is the best mathematically. Its not perfect but i think its alright | gosk8n
03.15.13 | thrice
| savagecabbage
03.15.13 | reported | AtomicWaste
03.15.13 | "No Slayer?"
7. Slayer | lyon1535
03.15.13 | How was Death listed as being more influential than Iron Maiden? Doesnt really make sense to me... | CaptainHadouken
03.15.13 | "No Slayer?"

03.15.13 | you should check manilla road SIMBOLIC | ConcubinaryCode
03.15.13 | Periphery | OmairSh
03.15.13 | I understand why you'd include the bands influence as part of your rating criteria, but I don't think it's necessary. It should be solely based on the quality of the bands work. | BigPleb
03.15.13 | Chelsea Grin | NightProwler
03.15.13 | Maiden is def 1, good list
My favorite metal is Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath and Tool, so I guess that's my order | FrozenVain
