Yeah, I don't know why they went with Cookie Monster, I thought Kermit the Frog is a much better singer!The results of this poll are about what I expected, given how many Opeth fans hang out here. But what really saddens me is how people are slinging mud at Anthrax saying they don't deserve to be here, when I'll bet most of the people here have never even heard Volume 8, and some who haven't even heard Anthrax period.
I guess in some ways I do agree. Having heard "Deliverance" and sprained my finger from hitting "Skip" so many times, it is an insult to Anthrax to even be compared with Opeth, so no, they don't deserve to be here.

Anthrax totally sold out and became a pop band in the 90's and the whole "NOT!" Man thing was a friggin joke.
Opeth
Opeth
Sold out? By playing heavy metal music that was so in vogue in the 90's? Or are you referring to the ONE rap song with Public Enemy they put out as a B-side, long before rap metal was the in-thing? Or perhaps you're referring to them ditching Joey Belladonna in favor of a real metal singer (or did you think Armored Saint were sell-outs in the 80's too)?xenophobe said:
Sure the Not Man was a joke. Did you think it was serious? I don't know about you, but I actually like to have fun once in a while. And not just by laughing at Opeth's vocals.

Back now...hopefully
Technically, it was TWO rap songs, if you count I'm the Man, which was also a B-side in the 80's (which of course, also recorded as a joke). I like a band that has a sense of humor. It's a refreshing twist from bands that sing about death and the end of the world all the time.Thraxfan69 said:
It makes me laugh when people say that Anthrax went "grunge" on Sound of White Noise, because it means they obviously didn't listen to it. They probably just saw the video for Black Lodge and assumed the rest of the album sounded like that. Oh, well, their loss.
Anthrax. I only wish I could cast a vote for every atom in my body, for then An thrax would cane Opeth's arse
I quite like Opeth, but love Anthrax to bits, as it were, so I voted for them.
Not that it'll make much difference...

Armed to the teeeettthhh!
Anthrax, the new album sounds pretty much like Sound of White Noise part 2. Its a great album but still sounds the same.
Opeth, really sounds nothing like earlier records. They keep progressing so they get teh vote.
Bye bye Anthrax.

I would have liked to see emperor get through to here and then they would have gotten my vote. Guess I'll have to go second best. Opeth is good but not great.

Anthrax kept jokes out of almost all their music. It's kind of hard to take a band seriously when you hear a guy who sounds like Cookie Monster.
