Poll: Essential Metal songs

[T3h Camp3r T3rr0r1st]

(FYI search bar'd)

I recently downloaded HLDJ and have put my "friends" through all of my terrible music for small children but I keep getting requests for metal whenever I ask so I just wanted to know; what are some essential metal songs?

(I have ACDC but I have been informed that that isn't metal)
HLDJ is...
Half-Life DJ so you can play music through the mic feature in any Source engine game

No, ACDC isn't metal. It's rock. And what's HLDJ?

 

[Xorghul]

What is HLDJ?
EDIT: Why exactly torture others with your music?
But as for good bands; SOAD, Korn, Slipknot, Powerman 5000, Danko Jones etc.

I don't know HLDJ, but if it's anything like those morons who play music through their headset in online games then i hate it.

get some metallica, you can't go wrong with metallica.

 

[Kajt]

Master of Puppets is a must-have if you want metal.

Weird. In that case, get some Korpiklaani. Nothing like playing TF2 to 'Happy Little Boozer'

I don't know exactly what you mean HLDJ does but go with Iron Maiden - Fear of the Dark.

 

[TheSunshineHobo]

It depends on what kind of metal you want to listen to. While i'm not fond of Top 100 lists this one is pretty good: http://rateyourmusic.com/list/SLjimbolianX/top_100_essential_metal_albums/

This guy is wrong. If you need to listen to ESSENTIAL metal, then i recommend

A)slayer

B)Amon Amarth

C)metallica (kill em all - master of puppets)

D)Iron Maiden

E)Megadeth (just get their greatest hits album and you'll be golden)

F)Opeth

G)Pantera

H)Arch Enemy

 

[The Infamous Scamola]

Anything by Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden or Motorhead.

Can't go wrong with the classics.

Never said they were "essential", just that they were good.

You're still wrong. Besides, he asked for essentials.

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

Dio's Rainbow In The Dark.

None of those are at all remotely good or even metal.

Wrong about what? That they're good? Never said you have to share my taste.
Meh.

I think they're good. And yes they are metal bands.

Leave the music as it is. If people want music, they should listen to their own.

Also: Nu metal is bad. Its all been done to death. Disturbed, Slipknot, System Of A Down, Korn etc. have all been played far too much for the bands to have any interest anymore. Disturbed especially. Find a new band. Like Mushroomhead. Or The Devil Wears Prada (not technically nu metal but whatever).

 

[Citrus]

I hate it when people use HLDJ in any game, "serious" or not. So hopefully you have the decency to keep it between you and your friends.

Hah... Folk metal... Love it. Get some Finntroll or Ensiferum.
