Didn't know Dream Theater was considered "Metal". Anyway, I saw them and they sounded like they were playbacking their own album. They even had a coffee break during the concert
I have no doubt at all that the mighty Metallica will rule this poll (with good reason, too), but I've cast a heathen vote for Deftones. Simply one of the most stunningly original and powerful bands of recent history, and still making their formula sound fresh after all these years. More importantly, Adrenaline and Around The Fur still sound like they could have come out yesterday - for me, that is a sure sign of a great band...
I had to go with Metallica on this one, closely followed by Megadeth (who, incidentally, was founded by an ex-Metallica member); I still remember the first time I heard Master Of Puppets back in '85, and realized what a great band they were. Haven't looked back since . . . .
I had to vote Other - Amon Amarth, their guitar work is incredible, esp on "Gods of War Arise" and "Cry of the BLackbirds"
MoP did not come out in 1985...
It was 1986, I still have my original vinyl copy.Okay, so my memory's faulty; when you get to be my age, things kinda tend to run together.
And I really DON"T want to get into a pissing match with you, Adler, it's not worth it; you're one of the rocks this website is built upon. But I, too, have vinyl copies of MoP, Ride the Lightning AND Kill 'Em All, not to mention my favorite EP, Creeping Death.

No, no, no....
I was not trying to get into a pissing contest with you. I was only correcting you, that is all. Please do not feel offended, that was not my intention. This is just a musical conversation, nothing else. There is no need to get into pissing contests over such a subject.

Agreed; it's not the first time I've been wrong, and it certainly will not be the last.
As I said, at my advanced age, the last few decades tend to run together; I can tell you where I was when the Challenger blew up, and I can tell you where I was when the Wall came down, and I can tell you where I was on 9/11, but that's about it . . . .
Carry on!
Since I have more favorite Ozzy songs than any other band here, I had to go with the prince of darkness.
