[Tet]

Too difficult to choose 10 in order. There are many that could make the list, but haven't. So in no particular order:

- Manowar
- Borknagar
- Scorpions
- Blind Guardian
- Rammstein
- Primal Fear
- W.A.S.P.
- Angel Dust
- Dimmu Borgir
- Grave Digger

Yeah, I'm guilty of listing Tool myself. I don't really consider them metal either. I just figured they're closer to being metal than just about any other form of music, so I said the hell with it and listed them anyway.
