You're preaching to the converted here, dude, but keep in mind that the UM boards have a skewed population that don't represent old school metal very well. Also, the question is "Which band do you like better?" not "Which band had the greatest influence?", so people are entitled to their own opinions and their own tastes.

What a sad state of affairs this entire contest is. Metallica loses to Dark Tranqillity, Slayer has trouble getting past Diabolical Masquerade, and now at least 15 people would rather see Borknagar advance rather than Anthrax? Is anyone here aware of the influence that these bands had and still have on the metal scene? Jesus, no wonder metal is never accepted by the mainstream, when metal fans themselves don't even acknowledge and respect those that were pioneers in the genre.
For real! Sheesh! And Borknagar isn't bad! They are my favorite band! Sure, they lost to a valient opponent, but for crying out loud SHUT UP! (not@naf. duh)Originally posted by nafnikufesin
