Favorite band (not a poll, just a mundane topic)

Early Megadeth is my fav, Even more so with Killing re-released, Nevermore, and Sanctuary are close behind.
It is good to see a Forbidden fan, Bostaph was mazing in that band, I picked up the new slayer album- sorry I am a drummer not a guitarist, and he continues to amaze me, so does gar samuelson in the new killing reissue
 
Hmm, must be
Nevermore
Blind Guardian
Notre Dame
Kalmah
Sinergy
Symphony X
Death (SoP album.. whooo)
Dimmu Borgir
Judas Priest
Gamma Ray
Rain Fell Within
Nightwish
Testament
Pissing Razors (only first album)

in other words, I can't make up my mind :goggly:
 
Throughout my years of being a metal-head, I have to honestly say the band that has never failed me has been OVERKILL. These guys have consistently released one killer piece of metal after another since day one. And I din't come to be a fan of theirs until the masterpiece of 'Years of Decay'.
This isn't a slight against Nevermore, because they have their place in my metal collection as well. But there have been far more releases to enjoy through the years from Overkill, as opposed to Nevermore/Sanctuary.

And all of these tie for second fave: Nevermore, Therion, Iced Earth, Rhapsody, Nightwish, Seven Witches (only the first two albums, with Bobby Lucas at the helm)
Old School: Sanctuary, 'Maiden, 'Priest, ACCEPT! (all hail Udo!), Savatage (Criss & Jon Oliva years only), ...man, this list could go on forever... ManOwaR, Testament, etc, etc, etc.

STAY TRUE!!!

Nevermore are my favourite band... DREAMING NEON BLACK is the BEST LP and it will ever be!!!! But I like Sentenced, Morgana Lefay, Forbidden, Savatage, etc... too!!
