Solid list I'd say.

very surprised. Quite a good list.

Pretty good i'd say

Not bad at all

lol Slipknot.

Pig Destroyer heck yeahhhhh
No btbam = fail though

pretty decent list...Good to see Pig Destroyer on it. Woulda liked some mention of Toby Driver though

Slipknot? no

Lamb of God and Slipknot gfto. ++Agalloch

Would have liked to see BtBAM but oh well. Kinda surprised to see Behemoth and Amon Amarth, but I'm not complaining.

Slipknot needs to GTFO out of music period.
Mastodon doesn't make sense here, they're just boring.
Lamb of God is alright, but they don't deserve a spot here.

Otherwise, a solid list.

Solid list, interesting

If they take out Slipknot the list would be perfect.

I'd replace Slipknot with BTBAM and we have a sweet list

Id say System Of A Down in, Slipknot out

then if we get Opeth and Converge to do the ol' switcheroo, then replace Opeth with BBTAM the list starts to look much better

Pig Destroyer should be replacing 3.
Then Agoraphobic Nosebleed should be 4.
Then Isis is 5
And The Locust is 6.

Then we have a good list

Maybe if this was "Top Grind and Post-Metal of 00's" then you could do that.

Maybe if you'd just shut da fug up then I could do whatever I wanted without my dreams being crushed, huh?

I think this is an excellent list. It covers the almost the entire spectrum of metal and represents them with a single band that has done something special for the genre.

Even if you hate Slipknot, you can't deny that they are one of the best bands in nu-metal.

As long as nu-metal (a terrible genre overall), Korn is probably the best, RATM starting the foundations if not already being a part of it.

Slipknot sucks.

WEIRD OPETH #1

Yeah but Korn hasn't put out a good album since the 90's and RATM hasn't put out an album since the 90's period.

Neither has Slipknot.

And so if we're doing Metal subgenres in the list to keep it varied, are you saying that Nu-Metal > Post-Metal or any other possible subgenre for that matter?

Sure they have, all of their albums fall under the 10 year period, and all of them have above a 3.0 average score out of thousands of ratings on this site alone. I think mainstream success should count for something too, it's pretty impressive for a band like that to rise up from nothing.

And I said "almost" covers the entire spectrum of metal. Even so, I would still consider post-metal outside the realm of standard metal subgenres (hence the "post" tag in the name.)

Pretty weird list. I'm a huge Lamb of God fan but I definitley know they shouldn't be in the top 10. Amon Amarth? They're ok but definitley not top 10 material, also overrated. Mastodon? Incredibly overated, Slipknot? nofranx. Converge is debatable but I don't like em at all, then again I don't like metalcore at all either.

9,8,5,4 don't deserve it at all.


Need some Sunn O))).

Meh.
In terms of the metal spectrum, nu-metal is about as metal as post-metal.

But better.

SlipNOT where is BTBAM I'm so original with my bad band put downs.

And PirateSquid stfu

Pig Destroyer heck yeahhhhh
No btbam = fail though

"As much as I'd hate to admit it, Slipknot did sorta bring "heavier" music into mainstream."

Nah bro that was Guitar Hero.

Rad list minus Slipknot.

great list - log

Every band on that list deserves to be there. Except Tool. Their best work was the 90's, as was most of their influence

I hate Opeth

would be better if dragonforce was there ;)

Converge should be , at least, first!

Every band on that list deserves to be there. Except Tool. Their best work was the 90's, as was most of their influence

Lateralus is their third best album

Hey look Dolving is trying to suck up to sputnik!

But really, List - Slipknot=Win

You may not like Slipknot, but their influence cannot be denied.

influence =/= good music

Thanks for pointing out the obvious jackass. Also, I was unaware that your shitty opinion in music was fact. The reason they are a top act of the 2000's is because they helped bring heavier music into the mainstream.

If that was the criteria I could list off quite a few other bands that did the same.

like

good to see some publications make a list for the entire decade...slipknot used to be great and even greater live.

Slipknot's later albums are still pretty damn good, people just latch on to their shitty fans and make judgements

I'd replace Slipknot with BTBAM and we have a sweet list


THis.

"all hope is gone" is garbage imo

Nothing comes close to Iowa or S/T

I am sorry but Sulfur is fantastic

1 ok song does not a good album make, my friend.

At least half the songs on the album are decent, which means it is good in my opinion, friend

Wait dude "I was unaware that your shitty opinion in music was fact"

im surprised meshuggah were ignored. as far as im aware they've released more good records than slipknot have even realeased (though to be fair slipknot are slowly improving)

Slipknot rightly deserves a place here just because they by far had the biggest impact on the metal scene for mainstream music. I and many others owe them a lot for getting my musical tases to where they are now.

Lateralus is by far my favorite Tool record followed by Ænema.

Hahahaha Meshuggah good joke dude.
