Obviously, there's a lot of shit that can and should be on here. But this is a lot of personal preference due to influence. Anathema, Cradle of Filth, Meshuggah, Machine Head, etc... all bands I dig, and love some of their shit... but, I just couldnt fit it. After about the top 6, I really have no major order.

Trapped, I noticed Megadeath's Rust in peace just below your And Justice For All.

is that album similar to ...And Justice for All by any chance?

 

[RETIREDTrapped]

Yes.... (MegaDETH)..... And no. Yes, it's a Similar Style

Megadeth are much better musicians than metallica... It is megadeth's best release... lots of guitars, lots of drums... But if you aren't used to Dave Mustaine's voice, then you will winge and complain about it.

Great music...

 

[Sullen Jester]

LIMP BIZKIT!
YEAH!

 

[Nico16]

next time ask for a top 100 ...that makes choosing the albums easier. ok, choosing the albums is no problem, but choosing the ranks is hard. I guess my ranking would be totally different if you asked my tomorrow or even in 30 minutes...

2. Opeth - Morningrise
4. Edge of Sanity - Crimson
5. Opeth - Still Life
6. My Dying Bride - Turn Loose the Swans

Why would they be power metal vocals? They're not a power metal band for christ's sake!

Where are you getting your information?

I don't know, but generally, bands in the 80's sang gayly, and gayly.

on a private note, you know that program, called MSN? Yeah? Well open it...

So what is his voice like then?

 

[requiem]

It's kind of nasally and.... I don't know. It's hard to explain. It's fairly unique. I haven't really come across anyone who doesn't like it, but I'm sure they're out there.
