What are your five favourite bands?

pantera is a lot better than bands like korn and slipknot. Power metal is an excellent power/speed/heavy metal album, cowboys from hell is also pretty good groovy thrash

my top 5

Black Sabbath
Slayer
Opeth
Nile
Morbid Angel
 
Tough to narrow it just 5, there's a lot more that I like just as equal, regardless here is my list...

Iron Maiden
Judas Priest
Iced Earth
Suidakra
Blind Guardian

Iced Earth and Blind Guardian are gay. now Priest and Maiden I can tolerate, though. never heard of the other band.

THere we are with the, OMG it sounds so gayyyyy!!!! arguement, honestly, and I am a fan of quite a few DM and BM bands, the grunting sounds like something you'd hear in brokeback mountain, only without the accents.
