Top 10 Favorite Bands

[sevag00]

Sorry I was too busy laughing at the Dimmu Borgir and Six Feet Under on your last.fm to care about your opinion.

Look whose talking. The guy that hates Slayer. You're taste in music sucks my friend.

Look whose talking. The guy that hates Slayer. You're taste in music sucks my friend.

Still too busy laughing to take you seriously. Maybe when you grow up and learn there's music outside of metal I'll care.

 

[Hail The Wizard!]

At the moment

Clutch
Black Sabbath
Saint Vitus
Isis
Pelican
Windir
Enslaved
Amorphis
Nile
Drudkh

As close to 10 as I can get...

Sexy stuff.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

1. Black Sabbath
2. Opeth
3. Bathory
4. Therion
5. Budgie
6. Dimmu Borgir
7. Electric Wizard
8. Morbid Angel
9. Iron Maiden
10. Motorhead

Hmm, this hasn't changed too much for me in the past two years. I would have to replace Electric Wizard, Motorhead and Budgie with Metallica, Ministry and Judas Priest though, and take Opeth down quite a few notches. New list:

1. Black Sabbath
2. Therion
3. Metallica
4. Bathory
5. Dimmu Borgir
6. Ministry
7. Judas Priest
8. Morbid Angel
9. Opeth
10. Iron Maiden

Honorable mentions also to Down and Dream Theater for having maybe an album and a half each worth of pure awesomeness but not enough to really get them on the list.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Almost in order:

1. Devin Townsend
2. Dream Theater
3. Iron Maiden
4. Voivod
5. Sigh
6. Arcturus

8. The Doors
9. Burzum
10. Katatonia

Hm, this will not stand.

1. Devin Townsend
2. Love
3. Iron Maiden
4. Dream Theater
5. Wishbone Ash
6. Van der Graaf Generator
7. Lifelover
8. Nobuo Uematsu
9. Voivod
10. Radiohead

A more diverse list than my old one, I think.

 

[WCannibal]

Agalloch
Deathspell Omega
Blut aus Nord
Incantation
Bergthron
Nokturnal Mortum
Swallow the Sun
Edge of Sanity
Burzum
Watain

Hmm...

 

[Angel of Distress]

#1: Opeth
#2: Edge of Sanity
#3: Agalloch
#4: Phlebotomized
#5: Burzum
#6: Theatre of Tragedy
#7: Cradle of Filth
#8: Dream Theater
#9: Fates Warning
#10: Defeated Sanity

 

[Episteme]

Nine Inch Nails aren't too bad out of mainstream 'industrial' rock. I can't listen to them all the time, but they're definitely not bad.

 

[Einherjar86]

Current list of the moment (not in any order):

1. Turisas
2. Moonsorrow
3. Emperor
4. Borknagar
5. Antiquus Scriptum
6. Hollenthon
7. Bishop of Hexen
8. Tvangeste
9. Negura Bunget
10. Thyrfing

Honorable mention: Kivimetsan Druidi, In Lingua Mortua, Falchion, Enid, Artefact, Windir

Fuck, I can't believe I put Kivimetsan Druidi in my "honorable mentions" list. They're a fucking awful band. I think I was taken by the first forty seconds of a song on their album and thought they were the best ever. That's kind of embarassing.

Here's my new, revised list (in no order). This has been decided by considering which bands have the highest consistency of albums that I enjoy:

1. Kiuas
2. Moonsorrow
3. Borknagar
4. Primordial
5. Kamelot
6. Suidakra
7. Enslaved
8. Kalmah
9. Bathory
10. Amorphis

Honorable mentions: Samael, Therion, Summoning, Burzum, Dark Tranquillity, Hollenthon, Hellveto, Windir... Christ, too many to mention.

Bands like Black Lotus and Fjoergyn I really like, but they don't have enough releases to boost them into a "top ten" list.

My "top ten" non-metal list:

1. Pink Floyd
2. Genesis
3. Jethro Tull
4. Peter Gabriel (solo)
5. Rome
6. 16 Horsepower
7. Live
8. Tom Waits
9. Leonard Cohen
10. Fairport Convention

 

[razoredge]

I suppose I should chime in only showing my age and limited metal tastes primarily due to specific vocal and topic requirements. Now at 52 my generation gap finally began forming somewere around Thrash. Also always being more of a "prog"head theres much diversity in some of my bands outside of metal. I probably cant make ten. My loss really as my resources are "dying" up... lol

favorites only according to who Im listening to at the time, my main stays are
1.Savatage
2.Fates Warning (primarily Fates version II)
3.Queensryche
4.Symphony X
5.Dream Theater
6.Threshold
7.Megadeth (thrash...wow)

so grab three old school metal bands and call it good

8.Maiden
9.Priest
10.most anything Dio

Sad but true

also rans:
Kamelot
Helloween
Circus Maximus
dare I say old Metallica, Testament... LOL
select commercial metal (runs hides)
lots of other similiar stuff I've heard bits and piece of but never owned

and proudly lots of old Hardrock and progressive rock, thats my youthful era

 

[Vossyrus]

In no particular order, and some with fun photos! My all-time favourite bands are:

Dead or Alive

Suspiria

Christian Death / Rozz Williams etc.

London After Midnight

Radio Werewolf

Theatres des Vampires (old stuff)

Marilyn Manson / Spooky Kids

Cradle of Filth

Pet Shop Boys


Squid

 

[TheJanitor]

Always have trouble making these lists, as only the top 5 or so are constant.

1. Alice in Chains
2. PanterA
3. Children of Bodom
4. Down
5. Pearl Jam
6. Boltthrower
7. SuperJoint Ritual
8. SoundGarden
9. Inflames

[Mentok]

Devin Townsend
Nile
Opeth
Iced Earth
Electric Wizard
Mastodon
Symphony X
Summoning
Amorphis
Between the Buried and Me

Really in no order, except Devin Townsend probably is number 1 on my list. Not so sure about Opeth anymore though, they may slowly be moving down.

And oh how they quickly did. Revised:

Devin Townsend
Between the Buried and Me
Gorod
Acid Bath
Sodom
Nokturnal Mortum
Neurosis
Negura Bunget
Morbid Angel
Isis

Still like a lot of stuff from the previous list, but I definitely wouldn't consider them my favorites anymore.
