Alright, I see all these rap and rock and band and guitarst threads about who's the best. But where's the Metal Love? Rules are simple for nominations.

 

1) You can nominate as many bands as you want.

2) Please make sure it's a Metal band. I know Led Zeppelin is the greatest band ever (they're one of my favorites) but I can't bring myself to call them metal. They're more like hard Rock. If there is deliberation on whether or not the band is metal, well, we'll figure something out, like have a mini poll or something.

3) Get your nominees in before today, next week. Polls Start next Thursday.

 

To start off, I'm going to toss in two bands to get you guys started.

 

Nominees

AC/DC

At The Gates

Black Sabbath

Darkest Hour

Def Leppard

Dio

Dokken

Dream Theater

Godsmack

HIM

Iced Earth

Iron Maiden

Judas Priest

Megadeth

Motorhead

Motley Crue

Metallica

Opeth

Pantara

Poison

Quiot Riot

Ratt

Suicidal Tendancies

Is Sabbath metal? I always just considered them Classic Rock

i guess it's heavy metal..maybe hard rock

someone else decide

Metallica

 

Since I guess there needs to be a competition, throw Godsmack and Iron Maiden in there too. And we going to break it up more? Like best metal frontman, best drummer, best guitarist, best bassist, etc? That'd be cool.

 

And yes, Black Sabbath is metal.

Definately Metallica

AC/DC

Guns N' Roses

Dokken

Dream Theater

Quiet Riot

Ratt

I always thought of GnR as more of rock and roll

 

Good call on AC/DC though, Beetle. Forgot about them for a second since they play so much on Big 105.9

I always thought of GnR as more of rock and roll

 

Possibly because they incorporate other styles into their music. I still think that they're fundamentally a metal band, because they promoted themselves as such back in their hey day.

Darkest Hour

Undying

Megadeth

Megadeth

Or Megadeath, the original name of Pink Floyd

This doesnt seem to be much of a challenge. The only band that can probably give Metaillca a challenge is ACDC. The only problem is that metallica has like twice as many good songs as ACDC which means 4-5 times more than the other bands

Have you ever listened to Judas Priest? Megadeth? Iron Maiden? Motorhead? There are a lot of other great metal bands out there.

ummm this is easy .... SLAYER

Round 1 Poll starts Thursday. Get any Metal Band you want on the list added while you still have time.

Metallica is my first nominee, but since they are there I'll go with Suicidal Tendancies. Yes, I know they're punk/metal, but still a great metal band.

and no Def Leppard???!!!!

Great add. On Thursday before I do the first round, I'm going to add any other metal bands I can think of that are good yet may have not been nominated.

I'll go ahead and nominate Opeth, I'd recommend them to any metal fan.

 

Nevermore should be on the list as well, then you'd have all three Gigantour headliners.

Tonight's your last chance to nominate. Tomorrow, voting begins.
