Here's a place to list your own top ELEVEN metal tunes!

 

This is much easier for me than it will be for many, as I am still a new and highly uneducated fan of metal.

 

In very rough order:

 

1. Holy Wars... The Punishment Due - Megadeth

2. The Hellion / Electric Eye - Judas Priest

3. ...And Justice For All - Metallica

4. Beyond The Realms Of Death - Judas Priest

5. 2 Minutes To Midnight - Iron Maiden

6. A National Acrobat - Black Sabbath

7. Indians - Anthrax

8. Sweating Bullets - Megadeth

9. I Am The Law - Anthrax

10. The Number Of The Beast - Iron Maiden

11. Through The Fire And The Flames - Dragonforce ( :P )

 

Yeah that isn't even easy for me so I don't expect anyone else to find it so.

Fingers crossed that this isn't going to devolve into a hopeless "What is metal?" debate.

 

I get so bored everytime the same two or three posters make pages and pages of banal queries.

? You mean when people debate what metal is or something else? Genuinely confused about your meaning here.

I'm guessing the answer to that question would be "Yes, and more", or "Yes, and yes". :P

Whenever a thread is made of a genre...those who are petty about the actual music start asking questions about the actual meaning of the genre then it descends into egos claiming they know more about music and the label is misplaced.

 

Check the threads on emo and post hardcore. Two very well established and respected subgenres. Same old same old posters chiming in like they know it all and ruining interesting discussion on the actual artists many on this board are fans of.

The thing is there are so many subgenres and a lot of bands who dab in the genre but don't go all in that the line gets blurred to what should be labeled it and what shouldn't.

 

It's probably best just to do what treeduck does and call everything metal.

This is a really good list for a metal newbie. Not sure if you're joking with the Dragonforce pick or not but have you ever heard their second album Sonic Firestorm? There's some really good stuff on that.

Top 11? I can't do it. So much good metal over the years I don't think I could even begin to rank it. If I started making a list now I would still be working on on 2 days from now and there would be 5000+ songs on it.

 

A task that would certainly cause me to go mad.

 

Just pick your favorite song each from your top metal bands. That seems like the easiest way to do it.

Top eleven metal bands? See my above post and wherever it says the word "songs" insert the word "bands".

 

Also, how are we defining metal because someone earlier posted a Rush song and Rush was never metal. If we are blurring the lines between various types of metal and rock then the task gets exponentially harder.

 

I think I need to go lay down now. My head hurts.

Cygnus X1 is a prog metal tune. It's not metal by today's standards since the genre has evolved to include so many styles. But back when it was recorded the song was certainly metal.

Never hold back your feelings for what others may think. Express your true self because that's the you the world needs the most. Cool list (though I haven't actually heard any of these songs, but I've heard nothing but good things about them from you, so I should give them a try!)

That's your pick for Nightwish? Would never have guessed that one was your favorite.

Well its a current favourite. Overall not satisfied with my list but its just ten i am obsessed with at the moment.

 

Khoma aren't really metal at all but I always play them alongside metal...and Pray Nightfall is a gorgeous song but...more synth rock than metal.

 

I think The Poet And The Pendulum would have been a better choice!

 

Thing is when it comes to metal, proper...my list is honestly just gonna be ten Paradise Lost songs.

 

They are my favourite metal band. A label I find hard to apply to Lacuna Coil or Nightwish (both have such broad sounds. PL does too, but they have a lot of pure metal albums, which differentiates them from the other two).

Geez...this is probably gonna to get a whole lot of "Who?" for most people. Everything except the first song is not in any particular order.

 

Isis (the band) - Garden Of Light

Katatonia - Dissolving Bonds

Mastodon - The Last Baron

Neurosis - Lost

Opeth - Master's Apprentice

Ghost - Cirice

The Dillinger Escape Plan - Prancer

Devin Townsend - Deadhead

Converge - Jane Doe

Dir En Grey - Vinushka

Alcest - Eclosion

 

I could've easily put Maiden on here, but I just can't narrow it down to one song honestly. These days, I'm mostly drawn to modern underground metal hence why I said this list'll probably generate a whole lot of "Who?".
