UM Hall of Fame July 2016 Inductions

[Baroque]

It should have been the big 3 all along. There's not really a band that fits the 4th slot perfectly all things considered

 

[Sirjack]

Among the Living is the shit my friend

Overkill
Gorguts
Pungent Stench
Carcass
Bolt Thrower
Brutal Truth

 

[Baroque]

Anthrax have some good fun scattered songs, but they don't have a solid front to back good album. And they were never as popular in the thrash crowd as the other 3.

 

[Carpe Mortem]

I'm seconding the following I cherry picked from everyone else's entries because I'm terrible and lazy:

Pentagram
Slough Feg
Opeth
Neurosis
Nile
Iced Earth
Electric Wizard
Drudkh
Immortal
Danzig
Testament
King Diamond
Alice Cooper
Deep Purple
Vektor

 

[Phylactery]

Spreading The Disease? Among The Living? Fistful of Metal? All three of those first albums are stone cold classics and easily stand toe to to with other classics like Bonded By Blood.

Couldn't disagree more. Definitely nowhere near Bonded by Blood.

Never had you down as a Deathspell Omega fan, Carpe.

 

[Carpe Mortem]

^Lol, funny, I'm not and realized I had included them right before you replied. I did the ol' copy paste and delete dead weight so mistakes were bound to happen. Think it's good now.

 

[Carpe Mortem]

Fixed. So ashamed. Never learned to read.

 

[Baroque]

Obituary
Windir
Electric Wizard
Vektor
Dark Angel
Pestilence
Anthrax
Napalm Death
Artillery
Cynic
Mekong Delta
Testament
D.R.I.
Dream Theater
Symphony X

I think Testament would have been the perfect #4

I usually just copy over my list from the previous round with a few new additions, but this time half of it got voted in.

 

[CiG]

For whatever reason I always thought Overkill might've made a good replacement for Anthrax in the big four.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

The only reason that Anthrax is in the big four is because they were a popular band from the same place as the other three. They're definitely a lower level band.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

Oops. I always thought they were from the Bay Area for some reason. My mistake. I think they're boring so I haven't spent time worrying about them.

Anyway, I definitely disgree with you on the quality of their music. Second rate at best.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

The way you describe their music makes you sound like some kind of promoter desperately trying to get people to buy a product that they don't really want.

Anthrax are from NY, babe.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

I already talked about how I was incorrect because I don't follow info about bands that I don't care about, but thanks!

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

superb ... as is Charlie Benante's drumming,

 

[CiG]

Are those early Anthrax albums really considered classics?

 

[CiG]

Yeah. The first three.

Admittedly I've only heard the first two. I notice even their debut gets crapped on in here but I rather like it.
