25 MOST IMPORTANT BANDS EVER

[SheisMySin]

>>>without some quantification of what they mean by "important" i cant see how anyone can criticize this, other than to say that such lists are an incredibly lazy excuse for journalism


Good post. Just an article created to spark interest and sell magazines.

This is not a most important METAL band list it is just an important band list. Get rid of Marilyn Manson and throw in Black Sabbath or Pink Floyd and I think it's all right. All those bands are innovators of genres, even if I and most other metalheads dislike them.

 

[KornyBstd]

How is Slipknot on the list but not KISS??

 

[Scourge of Malice]

Im not sure about Marylin Manson... Is he gotta be there?

And how about to mention Norma Jean and Peral Jam?...

Norma Jean? What have they done that's important for music??

I agree that this list is incredibly lazy.... but its Kerrang, what do you expect?

 

[CF87]

Yeah really who the hell is norma jean.

Marilyn Manson - wtf
Slipknot wtf
Soundgarden - wtf
Blink 182 - wtf
Korn - wtf
Nirvana - wtf
Green DAy - wtf!

does napalm death relly need to ne on there has well, yeh they are cool, but there is 100s or death metal bands more important than them imo

Green Day

 

[cookiecutter]

Norma Jean is influential metalcore band from what I've heard.

They invented Grindcore. I think that is important.

 

[Narg n Lamb]

ok you gotta start off with the people who actually STARTED music...
Ozzy Ozbourne
Metallica
Slayer
and so on...

I think Opeth is a very important band that needs to be on that listen and I think you should die for even mentioning the band green day, wow, wtf...

 

[Narg n Lamb]

Marilyn Manson - wtf
Slipknot wtf
Soundgarden - wtf
Blink 182 - wtf

[Nico]

I love how it's a "most important bands ever" list, free of genres, yet The Beatles don't get mentioned.

 

[MasterOLightning]

1981-2006.

 

[Nico]

Oh.

Haha, Def Leppard.

 

[Scourge of Malice]

I don't see how Norma Jean are influencel they've only been around for a little while and they're not doing anything most other metalcore bands are doing. Maybe I haven't heard enough of them, but I definitely would not consider them anymore important than any other metalcore bands.

 

[Ender Rises]

The Beatles should be number one and GnR shouldn't be near that high.

 

[King Richard]

This is why you don't buy Kerrang.

 

[Dän]

They invented Grindcore. I think that is important.

Yeh fair enough...but no Carcass!


..






And no Stargazer!
