Hey guys,

this is a nice thread! And I could easily add so many of the bands you mentioned to my personal Top 5. Like Led Zep, Rush, Tool, Iron Maiden, LTE, even Metallica (though their last album sucks so hard) - just to name a few. But it's very interesting how often Pink Floyd are named here. I've just seen their "Making of Dark Side of the Moon"-DVD, and it was amazing! If you like that album - of course you do :) - take a look at it.
 
1) Led Zeppelin
2) Iron maiden
3) Opeth
4) Porcupine Tree
5) Dead Can Dance


Runners-up:
In the Woods
Deep Purple (before the 58,859 lineup changes)
Rolling Stones (1968-1973 only - remarkable 5 year run)
Black Sabbath (especially the Dio era)
Beatles
My Dying Bride (1993-1998 only)
Anathema (1996 - forward)
Katatonia
Pearl Jam
Sting
Depeche Mode
 
no order:

opeth (of course)
amon amarth
borknagar
maiden
arcturus

metallica really could have made it into there, the 80s were fucking amazing, but shit, what a crappy decade they just went through, and st anger... don't get me started
 
1)Iron Maiden
2)King Crimson
3)Tool
4)The Cure (For Disintegration, Boys Don't Cry,Kiss Me,17 Seconds,Faith,The Top and Bloodflowers.)
5)Red Hot Chili Peppers...pop , but good pop.

Opeth would make top 7 no doubt.
