Metal Uprisings Top 20 Bands/Artists of All Time

SATAN

I weigh their influence heavily. Most of my list is based on the bands influence on its peers. Several of them pretty much kick-started entire genres. Some even started multiple genres.

Even though I think Maiden suck, I hear their stamp all over a bunch of shit I like.

If I took satan's top 5 and was told to put them in order of how much I want to listen their their album right now... my order would be

1. Pantera
2. Death
3. Metallica
4. Black Sabbath
5. Slayer

SATAN

Pantera loses points for...the entire 1980s

WakeOfAshes

True. I was just saying at the moment FBD, TGST, or VDOP sounds like a good album to listen too.

SATAN

I'm always in the mood for 'Vulgar Display'. It's the album that defined my teenage years

Heisenberg

Just give all of my votes to pantera
