25. Carcass
50. Neurosis
91. Summoning
These are the only ones from my list that made it. Just goes to show the majority of UM has no tastes.

I AM a biut surprised to see Cradle of Filth on the list at all. Personally, I love them, and prolly woulda been on my list if I voted, but I thought they were as despised around here as new Metallica
Life Sucks said:I knew that Opeth and Iron Maiden would both come in the top three. I'm surprised how many power metal bands are in the top 100, as lots of people (myself included) seem to dislike that genre.
DiscipleOfPlato said:I think the only reason Cradle of Filth has lost so many fans is because of their pretty recent record-deal with Epic. I guess a lot of previous cradle-enthusiasts had somehow thought they sold out even though they STILL MAKE THE EXACT SAME MUSIC TODAY! Consider the fact that "Damnation and a Day" is probably the heaviest album they've ever done.
I find it funny that Cradle's major label debut is the closest thing to black metal they've written since Vempire
Yes, I like Cradle of Filth. And I don't COMPLETELY hate St. Anger. I guess I'm not metal enough for these people
Yes 80's mettalica was decent but it's not all that, pther 80's bands kick their ass and are sill good ti'll now so, I don't get why their all the way up there. Mercyful Fate kicks their ass big time.Shell Shock said:Say what you want about their recent stuff, but the shit they made in the 80s was very very good.
They're up there because of people like myself who rate them no.1 on their lists. I didn't vote, no, but I would've put them up there without a shred of doubt - yes, they stopped making metal in '96 - arguably in '91, and yet they deserve to be up there for their past success.
Besides, it's all opinions of fans that visit these forums. I wouldn't say that Opeth is the best metal band ever - but we've got tons of their fans around.. Doesn't make it any less legitimate.
I agree on In Flames - No.3? No way! .
DiscipleOfPlato said:I had a lot of mixed feelings about St. Anger as well, so no, you're not the only one. Overall I feel it's a bad album, but for some reason, I'm still hoping it grows on me.

glory not deserved.

TestAment and Opeth: equal in my book. can't choose one over the other.
