The Top 5...
Out of curiosity, can you name your Top 5 bands/artists? And they have to be bands/artists that you really like, and have listened to more that just one song lol. 1 to 5, 1 being your all time favourite. State why if you wish.
Alrighty lets do this. 1. Metallica Though their latest album "St Anger" was alright, their previous albums rawk out hard. "Black" is my absolute favourite album by Metallica, I know the lyrics to every single song. Oh yeah. 2. Pantera Heavy metal in its purest form, they kept the genre alive during the transition between the 80's and the 90's (as far as I know) when all saw that metal was "dead". Admittidly, I don't have all their albums, but "Vulgar Display of Power" and "The Great Southern Trendkill" are absolutly awesome to listen to. The band's lead singer, Phil, started turning toward drugs after their last album "Reinventing The Steel", and began drifting away from his bandmates. Pantera broke up. Vinnie (drummer) and Dimebag Darrell (lead guitarist) went off and joined another band called Damageplan (who sound awesome, been listening to their album "New Found Power"). I'm not sure what happened to Rex (their bassist) or Phil (lead singer) after the break up. Unfortuanately, a disturbed fanatic was a little upset by the break-up. He took a pistol and went to where Damageplan was playing live, and murdered Dimebag, on stage and in front of a large number of spectators. The killer had his head blown off by a cop armed with a shotgun shortly thereafter. A couple of spectators were also killed while attempting to storm the shooter. And because of this incident, Dimebag has become something of a legendary hero to metalheads everywhere. Go to youtube and type in the name of a Pantera song and you'll see scores of posts stating "RIP Dimebag". And I say the same. RIP. 3. Arch Enemy This melodic death metal band from sweden initially started off with a male lead singer. But then later, a very nice looking lass, Angela Gossow, joined and became AE's lead singer. Yes, a female death metal band vocalist. Its the most unique growling you'll ever hear, and Arch Enemy's guitar solos are in my opinion second to Metallica's. 4. Machine Head Though I don't favour their mid-albums, "Burn My Eyes" and "The Blackening" are the best ones they've made. Rob Flynn, the lead singer, used a guitar that Dimebag had given him to play most of the songs on The Blackening. The song "Aesthetics of Hate" also has some influence around Dimebag's murder, but is mostly aimed at some stupid media idiot who ranted on Dimebag. Purge the heretics! 5. Slayer Ahhh, Slayer. The angriest of them all. Their lead singer shares my name too. Awesome. They sing alot about stuff "average" people wouldn't want to hear. War, death, hate, violence, nazism and generally having a go at religions everywhere. I'm not one of them psychos that listens too much to the lyrics and becomes brain-washed and what not, and I don't support their anti-religious lyrics, but I do like how the songs are constructed. The thrashy songs aren't of my taste, but I do like the slower-paced ones. Their albums "Seasons of the Abyss" and "God Hates Us All" are their better ones in my opinion. I just love listening to these guys when I'm really, really angry or on that rare occasion when I'm stressed out. Not for the faint hearted. What're yours? Donuts to whoever read through all that |

I'll list 10 because I can. Most people shouldn't be able to decide on a top 5 anyway. This is in no particular order.
System of a Down/Serj Tankian Unearth Fear Factory Mastodon Soundgarden The Faceless The Chariot Behemoth Dimmu Borgir Job for a Cowboy Metallica and Pantera are both extremely overrated, by the way.
