The Top 5 List Thread

[zerostatic]

Surprised that Overkill made the number 1 spot...I binged their discography hard in preparation for their new album but didn't think I had listened to them that frequently since. Second year in a row that Priest had been in my top 5 Artists. All the songs in my top 5 are from the Alexander Hamilton Soundtrack.

 

[Bloopy]

I'll do a list excluding NZ artists if there are ever 5 clear ahead of all the ones I've seen 2-3 times.

It finally happened. The 5 bands I've seen live the most times excluding artists from my own country:

Holy Serpent (6×)
Megadeth (6×)
Mayhem (4×)
Psycroptic (4×)
Slayer (4×)

Metallica could've been in there if Hetfield hadn't needed to go back to rehab. Haven't seen them since 2010.
