Metal band for non metalheads.

[The Emptier]

Someone said Dethklok before but that is very true i have a lot of friends who don't care for metal but love Dethklok

 

[Blind Guardian]

Definitely Black Sabbath. I think they have a kind of Beatles-esque and universal musical quality that most people can relate to, especially on Vol 4.

 

[Cronopio]

System Of A Down.

I agree with you on Black Sabbath.They are people who don't like metal but like Sabbath.Tllica would be with Sabbath too since the Black Album sold 15 million albumd.Surpise no one said Priest yet.

 

[SentinelSlain]

I didn't say Priest because they are too heavily derided in popular culture for non metal fans to be open-minded about their work.

What people do you know that dislike Priest?

 

[JGMetalhead]

I think they like the "newer" priest and dislike the "older" priest

 

[Badbird]

I think they like the British Steel-SMF priest and dislike the "older" priest

FYP

 

[JGMetalhead]

Yea especially that album. But I think some people would prefer Painkiller or also like Painkiller along with other recent 90s and 00s albums.

 

[Eligos]

Agalloch

This. Also, from my experience:

Woods of Ypres
Ne Obliviscaris
Akercocke
Solefald
Jesu
Katatonia

And as mentioned by others, ISIS and Pelican.

Every girl I've ever dated who was into pop and techno and all that girl shit always liked Power Metal, In Flames and the usual.

Hammers of Misfortune would be a good one for most I would have thought. Don't know if any non-metal fans actually like them, but they could/should.

Plus, most doom metal could be liked by general music fans .... Black Sabbath is widely praised, so why not Pagan Altar et al.

 

[Badbird]

I forgot to put ISIS on my list.

 

[DarkBliss]

Stop labeling people, you shrimpster. I've used this as a jokingly deregotary term for Magma fans and now regret it.

 

[Badbird]

Ok I will stop labeling people now DarkBlis

 

[DarkBliss]

Good. Order upheld. Kidding, of course.
Actually, I don't know if I'm upholding order or creating chaos due to my sensationalistic self-righteousness. I'll try to lay low for a while.

 

[Badbird]

I voted for Black Sabbath on this poll.

 

[A1a23]

In Flames seems to be a big one because they enjoy the cock and also the scene kids adore them(excluding the first few albums).

Black Sabbath because everyone knows about them, and Metallica because most of them prefer their stuff from the black album on because it's mainstream as fuck.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

I enjoy In Flames, but not so much the cock.

EDIT: I voted for Metallica in the poll, although I mentioned Maiden earlier. I know thugs who listen to nothing but rap and Metallica.

 

[Badbird]

I know the people you are talking about Saparmurat.Sports people listen to the same thing as thugs do.
