UM Hall of Fame July 2016 Inductions

[H.P. Lovecraft]

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.

The first three are those solid front to back albums in my estimation, but I do agree, they haven't acheived that since.

 

[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.

Fixed. So ashamed. Never learned to read.

It's okay, I know literacy rates in South Sudan are a little under the bar.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

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

Really? I feel the exact opposite, that they're right on that level. Oh well, opinions and assholes and such.

Windir

Vektor

Anthrax
Napalm Death

[TechnicalBarbarity]

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

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.

Last time I checked the Bay Area and NYC aren't the same place. Three classic albums in a row isn't the feat of a lower level band.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

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

Perhaps. Either them, Exodus, or Testament.

 

[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.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

We both disagree on that. If you ask me, Scott Ian's rhythm guitar work is superb, as is Charlie Benante's drumming, and, pairing that with either Neil Turbin's or Joey Belladonna's both exceptional vocal talents and the rough and tumble, firestorm lead guitar of Dan Spitz? They're easily deserving of their status.

 

[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.

I'm not selling a thing, I'm opining my own thoughts concerning their music. I honestly don't give much of a crap if you don't like them.
