1. Megadeth
Megadeth has always been in my top ten but thats before i listened to Killing is my business. In my opinion best album by Megadeth
2. Anthrax
Joey Belladona only
3.Coroner
Just everything is so amazing by them(execpt grin) i own there whole discography (dont care for grin)
4.Dark Angel
Not one song i dont like by them.
5.Vio-lence
Amazing vocalist
6.Exodus
Just love everything
7. Venom
8. Sadus
9. Bonded by Blood
10. Warbringer
 
1. Sepultura
First album I heard from these guys was Chaos A.D. It's still my favorite album, but I love nearly everything Max Cavalera has released.

2. Soulfly
Not as good as the early Sepultura stuff, but Dark Ages and Conquer were good.

3. Balsagoth.
I've only listened to this group for the last three or four years but I enjoy just about everything they have done. I find myself comparing new bands and new cds to Balsagoth; few bands are more enjoyable to listen to.


4.Vader
I like everything about this band. Black to Blind and Revelations are my favorites.

5.Iced Earth
One of the first metal bands I saw in concert. Haven't listened to them nearly as much lately, but I still love Night of the Stormrider and Alive in Athens is one of my favorite live albums.

6. Megadeth
Peace Sells, Rust in Peace and The System Has Failed all get played regularly on my zune. I like the political/social commentary, but Mustaine's megalomania caused me to drop Megadeth down to 6.

7. Kreator
Saw them on the Enemy of God Tour with Vader and then last year with Exodus. Pleasure to Kill and Terrible Certainty are my favorites.

8. Strapping Young Lad
I really wish Devin Townsend was still making SYL albums and touring. The solo stuff is ok.

9. Fear Factory
Have moved on from these guys..their recent albums have been disappointing. Soul of a New Machine and Demanufacture are the only two I bother with anymore.

10.Children of Bodom
Hatecrew Deathroll is my favorite. I dig the guitar and keyboard solos.
 
no specific order:

Burzum
Summoning
Wolves in the Throne Room
Pan.Thy.Monium
Hate Forest
Opeth
Spiral Architect
My Dying Bride
Draconian
Swallow the Sun

3. Judas Priest
4. Ensiferum
5. Gamma Ray
6. Bathory
7. Negura Bunget

2. Emperor
3. Opeth
4. Iced Earth
5. Dark Tranquillity
6. Metallica

Very Basic I guess...But that is just a metal list I can go for a long time with all my favorite bands but I guess top ten would be something like that.

If I could switch bands in and out I would also put Megadeth, Symphony X, Agalloch, Darkest Hour, Into Eternity, Testament, Black Dahlia Murder, Anthrax, Slayer, Soilwork, Blind Guardian, Cradle of Filth.
