[Baroque]

C'mon Baroque, you only chose 14 bands, give Anthrax your fifteenth slot. Lest Joey Belladonna descend from the hallowed heavens of brutal thrash and condemn the whole forum as a madhouse.

I was tempted, but I think Megadeth should get in a round before Anthrax, also Ozzy deserves it

I think more could be done with this. It could be a nice guide for someone new to metal by compiling a list of all the bands entered into the HoF, and then also maybe their best album(s) agreed on by the forum?

Mercyful Fate
Saxon
Accept
Celtic Frost
Dio
Venom
Deep Purple
AC/DC
Cannibal Corpse
Kiss

Hellhammer

 

[Atomic Tide]

Neither is Deep Purple or Rainbow, but they certainly influenced countless metal bands. \m/

 

[Atomic Tide]

I see your point on Thin Lizzy, but if Rainbow and Purple are metal, I feel you should consider AC/DC metal, as well.

 

[Atomic Tide]

I'm feelin' you, HP. Sabbath was pretty bluesy, as well. I'm not even that huge an AC/DC fan, but I still feel that considering they started in the early 70's and the sheer heaviness of their sound for the time, it seems a no-brainer they should be mentioned.

 

[Draehl]

If you have to ask yourself or debate it, it's probably not metal.
