Your Favorite Classic Heavy Metal Act

[NFU]

vote for your favorite classic heavy metal act. sorry if yours isnt listed, i tried to put the 12 most popular (sub genres excluded for the most part).

 

[LightningLixxx]

You had to put Metallica, Megadeth, AND Testament? I guess I have to say Metallica as they were a huge part of my early metal experience. I still know more Metallica riffs than I do all other bands combined. :erkpathetic:

 

[NFU]

yes, i had to. seeing as i know many people who prefer one to the other 2.

 

[fizz6207]

I go with Megadeth. Its close but at the moment they are a band I can enjoy no matter what mood Im in.

 

[Armageddon's Child]

Slayer is by far the best band on the list, and, with the exception of Sabbath, the most important and influential as well.

 

[Alteredmindeath]

I voted Slayer because I love every single album.

 

[illidurit]

black sabbath

 

[Led Opeth]

Led Zeppelin FTW


Edit.

 

[in_absentia]

Metallica for me. I'm surprised no one has voted Iron Maiden yet.

 

[Tubbs]

^ I did!

This list was ridiculously hard to choose from, though.

It was either going to be Testament, Iron Maiden, Metallica, or King Diamond for me. :lulz:

 

[Demilich]

Black Sabbath with honorable mention to Iron Maiden and Mercyful Fate!

 

[Tumn]

Megadeth

 

[NFU]

i made some good options it seems, its far from being a landslide. glad to see everyone participating.

 

[naboo]

Hah, this is quite possibly the hardest poll ever. I'm stuck between Iron Maiden and Metallica. I really couldn't choose between the two...

 

[Scourge of Malice]

Hard to choose between Black Sabbath and Metallica... but I chose Sabbath.

Whod NFU vote for?

 

[i aint play this]

Most of the bands on the list are great...holy crap, can't choose between Megadeth, Sabbath, and Priest...but voted for Priest because they are what classic metal is all about.

 

[intimidatingcrustaceans]

megadeth for me...

 

[all_sins_undone]

gonna go ahead and say opeth on this one folks

 

[daz436]

it was between sabbath & priest for me. i went for sabbath.

 

[Scourge of Malice]

Shit Priest is up there for me also. Seeing them live a couple years ruled.
