Controversial opinions on metal

[EspaDa]

Look at this another shitty top 100 metal albums list. Came across this a while ago, there are pretty good choices beside some fucking shitty ones.

I'll admit, I thought this was pretty decent in comparison to some of the absolute heinous ones I've seen in the past. Regarding the top ten, I would never put British Steel that high. If anything, Sin After Sin should be in Stained Class's place and Stained Class should be in British Steel's place.

Same with Iron Maiden. Hell I'd probably have Powerslave and Number of the Beast switch places entirely.

What I find totally absurd is that the only Sepultura album on this entire list is Chaos A.D.

I doubt the authors have even heard a third of the albums more than once. Did I miss it, or did Sad Wings of Destiny not even make the list?

Nope.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Yeah that alone deligitimizes the authors, if the inclusion of Slipknot, Korn and Body Count didn't already.

And fucking Evanescence.

Of course, Rolling Stone is notorious for having bad taste in rock to begin with, and that's their area of focus. They rarely catch a classic album the first time around but then 20 years later, can't get off the same album's nuts. Why would we expect them to do a good job on metal, a genre they really only test the water with?

From what Ive read in that magazine, Id say their time would be better spent drinking coffee and shittíng.

I don't really know why you're surprised by Rolling Stone's omission of Sad Wings of Destiny or Sin After Sin. In the caption for every Judas Priest pick, they always seem to berate '70s Priest. Hell, the only reason they put Stained Class on there is because that was the first time they ever charted.

I'm not surprised at all. I know what a garbage publication Rolling Stone is.

Oh you're back. Maybe this thread will see a resurgence again now.

Rolling Stone, literally rolling its way downhill since it started, gathering more and more bullshit as it goes.

 

[Skeptic Monkey]

Also am i the only one bothered by the fact that Iowa is higher on the list then Emperor,Opeth and Gojira?

Yes, you're the only one. No one else is bothered. No one.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

I'm bothered that Iowa didn't make #1.

Hello. Yes, I was reading about the rolling stone magazine in this thread. It inspired myself to write an opinion on it. I remember when I read an interview with Ozzy Osbourne, where he said that, in his opinion, Black Sabbath arent Heavy Metal.

Yeah, I just read that and went, "Oh, CIG is going to be so pissed".

 

[CiG]

One time I placed a copy of Rolling Stone next to my copy of Hail to England and the rag somehow simultaneously melted and burst into flames.

It was really fucking weird.

 

[The Ozzman]

Not sure why people are even going to the effort of posting about it. Since when has Rolling Stone ever been an authority on metal (let alone music)?
