Top 5 Bands

[Mr. Shred-ididle]

If you found out that the afterlife is just sitting in a room listening to metal and you could only listen to 5 metal bands what would they be?

This bassicly is asking what is your top 5 bands.

Mine would probbably be

Symphony X
Angra
Magnitude 9
Adagio
Cacophany

They have to be bands not solo artists. So there for Cacophany is allowed.

So What are yours

In no particular order:

Rush
Slayer
Pain of Salvation
Dream Theater
Opeth

 

[Hwangman]

Symphony X
Pain of Salvation
Star One
Adagio
After Forever

 

[Riceloft]

Well, if I could only have 5 bands to listen to period, that list would be different than my top 5. I'd try to pick 5 bands all with kinda different styles. In that case I'd pick:



Pain of Salvation
Dream Theater
Opeth
Systematic
Rhapsody

 

[BastrdDrmr]

Since I'm restricted to "metal" bands, here is my list:

Symphony X
Pantera
In Flames
Arch Enemy
Children of Bodom

...if extended to any band, the list would be:
Symphony X
Boston
Van Halen
Rush
In Flames

 

[Soul of Ice]

QR is constantly in danger of being replaced, but then I go listen to any one of their albums before HITNF and I just can't do it! Life without V seems very sad indeed though...maybe I could sneak V into the HITNF case while I was packing my suitcase for the afterlife.... And the Odyssey into the Q2K case...and some Angra albums into the Maiden ones that aren't so great...you get the point!

 

[the_satanic_rabbit]

King Diamond/Mercyful Fate (cmon, they count as one right?...please )
Symphony X
Nevermore
Death

aww screw it, KD and MF can be separate I guess
