Meshuggah
Soilwork
Dead By April
Killswitch Engage
System of a Down
Pick any order.
I don't care
EDIT: Fun fact.
The guitarrist of Opeth works in a obscure recordstore a couple of blocks away from me.
He looks like a small near-anorexic guy with long blonde hair.
The drummer of Meshuggah used to work at a music instrument store down the street not far from here. You would find him behind the counter being hungover as hell. Occasionally he would go into the drummer-booths and start playing the oddest weirdest beats you would ever hear in your life.

Glad to see there is so much love for Black Sabbath here since they basically started the brutal and scary rock sounds I think.
1) Metallica
2) Iron Maiden
3) Judas Priest
4) Black Sabbath
5) Megadeth
Can't decide who deserves the title for greatest metal band between Metallica and Iron Maiden because both made so many great songs, but since I like Metallica abit more they get my vote.
Also it was difficult to raise Judas Priest above Black Sabbath since Paranoid and Iron Man kick ass but Judas do have a really big variety of good songs so they win by abit.
I'm aware classic rock bands like Led Zeppelin can be considered metal but not to me.

Okey dokey, just let me break out my ipod...
1)Opeth
2) In flames, mainly clayman, and some come clarity
3)Metallica, i don't care what you people say...
4)Trivium, ascendancy (BOAT! RUDDER! CHEESE! BUTTER!)
5)i'll succumb to my metalcore cravings and say all that remains...
also, on a sidenote, it's good to see so many metalheads on the escapist.

Iron Maiden
Led Zeppelin(some would argue that they arnt metal but they were a leader in music becoming heavier)
Black Sabbath(for using the diminished 5th, and creating the metal sound)
System Of A Down
Skindred
Special mention to Judas Preist, Rob Halford is a vocal legend

Way to be a dick. I could do the same by saying that this is a metal thread, so you should leave out a hard rock band like metallica, but I won't.Nazulu said:
And there is no reason to stop loving it just because you get older. Hell, there are a lot of metal bands out there still producing work and touring that are older than me (30's) like Manowar, Heaven and Hell (DIO,Black Sabbath), Halford/Priest, just to name a few right off the bat.miracleofsound said:
I will say this tho, having been around loving metal since the 80's, I'm thankful that euro bands picked up the torch and kept true metal alive seeing how in America glam and grunge became puking-ly popular in the early 90's (thankfully for the most part these 2 genres are dead).
And alas, the new century has seen a renaissance of great metal come about.
LONG LIVE METAL\m/
It is hard to pick just 5 :| no matter what you pick you leave bands out that need to be in it... but here goes...
1. Iron Maiden (arguably the most popular metal band ever amungst metal heads)
2. Motorhead (how could you not, lemmy is god)
3. Judas Preist (shaped the way metal looks)
4. Sodom or Kreator (I cant pick between these 2, thrash metal at its most awesome)
5. Venom (where would black metal be?)
