4.TESTAMENT
5.SLAYER

All the above have longevity, but current favorites include SHADOWS FALL, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD

*Honorable mention to KISS (ORIGINAL 4), VAN HALEN (ROTH ERA), & AEROSMITH (all releases before "Pump" ). I don't consider these bands "Metal" but some do. I consider them "Hard Rock".

[HUNGER OF THE UNDEAD]

Hey there guys and girls,

I am doing a little project for fun here. It is going to be a list of the top 100 metal bands among the UltimateMetal.com forum users. All you have to do is post your top 10 favorite metal bands. They must be in number order from 1-10 with of course your number 1 selection being your overall pick. How it works is I will keep stats of all your votes. The band you put for number 1 will get 10 points, number 2 gets 9 points, 3 gets 8 points and so on until number 10 which will get 1 point. You have from now until Tuesday at midnight to post your top 10 favorite bands. Midnight on Tuesday I will no longer take votes and tally up what I have. I wil then rank them by the number of points they have and form the top 100 bands of UM. So start posting your top 10 now. The results should be very interesting.
