I'm confident I've included the best 20 bands.

I voted from your list, but my 20 would be slightly different, so, I will challnge your confidence. At least say you picked your top 20 best [wolff and metalmancpa lace up the gloves (unless you want to bare-knuckle it), climb into the ring, and begin the battle :lol:]

Oh yeah - I voted for Metallica. Forget about the present - their track record is second to none in the metal world.
 
My favorite band on that list is Anathema....BUT my favorite Anathema isn't really metal...so, it was VERY tough and I still am not sure about my answer, but i decided to go with Metallica....you know how it is:p ....And Justice for All and back of course:)
 
I chose Metallica as well... I hate them for what they did on Load and Reload but Master Of Puppets is a classic, and also the record that kicked me into metal :)

yes and KATATONIA dont make that list right? :mad: anyway i vote Katatonia even though they arent there.

Katanoa are a good band (not sure if they're even considered metal these days) but not the best metal band of all time.
 
You forgot Zeppelin, they were a metal/hard rock hybrid but still were the best metal band of all time, IMO. They did the acoustic/electric hybrid first. I put Metallica....
