IronGiant
09.29.14 | why are these my only choices..? |
IronGiant
09.29.14 | black sabbath though because they started the genre. 2nd would be deep purple. i dont even like those bands but I respect them immensely |
GrandpaSeth3000
09.29.14 | Well, who would you like to vote for then?

pedro70512
09.29.14 | for real though, I'd go with Priest. Their combination of founding classic (Sad Wings), definition of heavy metal (Stained Class), commercial breakthrough (British Steel/Screaming), and late career triumph (Painkiller) are hard to argue against. |
pedro70512
09.29.14 | I would vote for Purple if they didn't insist on not being called heavy metal. |
Avagantamos
09.29.14 | welcome back gs3k. I don't care much about any of these bands |

09.30.14 | Mastodon could have been in this conversation if they'd, you know...kept making metal. |
GrandpaSeth3000
09.30.14 | Incantation are one of the best death metal bands but they have released a lot of filler albums.

09.30.14 | judas priest probably but I haven't heard more than 1 or 2 albums by any of these bands |
ShadowRemains
09.30.14 | death |
climactic
09.30.14 | death should definitely be in the running though, some weird picks here oltna3k, especially .....deftones...... |
ShadowRemains
09.30.14 | "Not death. They're good but I have many favs I like more than death."
i'm not saying that death is my fav (although certainly up there), but as the band that virtually invented death metal (along with possessed barring a few early prototypes) and also released great albums in several different styles and whose 90s run is one of the better four album stretches in history, they deserve to be in the conversation |
Inveigh
09.30.14 | There are a lot of bands that you could make an argument for, but I'd probably go Sabbath. Neurosis, Death, Metallica (yep), Celtic Frost, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Carcass are all in the running too. Shit, I'm sure a ton of people would argue Pantera or Slayer.
none of the bands on this list are bad choices, although I'm not sure Deftones would rank top 10 for me if we're discussing pure metal (don't get me wrong, Deftones are easily one of my 5 favorite bands ever, I just think they would rank pretty highly on a list of "alternative" bands or something) |
GrandpaSeth3000
09.30.14 | Ok I added them. I'll count all votes for them and you can switch your vote to Death if you wish!

I'm shocked nobody has mentioned Opeth. Between My Arms, Still Live, Blackwater, Damnation, and Ghost Reveries they have a top 5 to rival anyone. |
