I mentioned in the same post that you`re quoting from, that a lot of these bands were already formed before the 90`s. I was stating, that these bands released their best stuff in the 90`s regardless of when they were formed. Therefore I didn`t mention the likes of Metallica or even Iron maiden as their best stuff was clearly released in the 80`s.

Reading through the rest of the posts since yesterday, it seems my reference threw quite a few people off..........sorry for that.

I was just stating when their best albums came out, and not when they were formed. I can assure you, that I`m well aware of when these bands were formed.

Okay. But Ministry, for example, had mostly pretty weak 90s output. Like I said previously all but one of their best albums came out in the 80s. And, though I certainly haven't checked out all of Kreator's albums, the one's that are generally considered classics are from the 80s.

Here are my reactions to your list.

Good albums:
Death- Symbolic
Melvins- Houdini
Corrosion of Conformity- Deliverance
Sepultura- Roots

Barely qualify as 90s albums:
Slayer- Seasons in the Abyss
Megadeth- Rust in Peace

Good albums but these bands released better albums in the 00s:
Meshuggah- Destroy Erase Improve
Neurosis-Through Silver in Blood

Examples of why I don't rate 90s metal very highly:
Pantera- A Vulgar Display of Power
Korn- Korn
Machine Head- Burn My Eyes
White Zombie- La Sexorcisto

The rest are not albums I've heard.

I`m not much of a ministry fan, but the best two for me are "The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste" 1989 and "Psalm 69-How to Succeed and How to Suck Eggs" 1992.

Kreator like a lot of European thrash and power metal bands, suffered some teething problems in their early discography, and so most of their stuff in the 80`s I found very hit and miss. The three best Kreator albums are "Coma of Souls" 1990, "Cause for Conflict" 1996 and "Outcast" 1997. Sure....there is a heavy Slayer influence on parts of those albums, but they are the band`s best releases IMO.

I suppose the reason that I love 90`s metal so much, is that out of all the metal genres there are, groove metal is probably my favourite and groove metal was a dominant metal genre in the 90`s. Groups like Lamb of God are carrying on that tradition in the 00`s. Also Progressive metal really expanded and took off in the 90`s as well.

The Slayer and Megadeth albums may be 80`s in spirit but they have 1990 release dates. Have to disagree over Neurosis and Meshuggah. Despite the fact I love their material that I`ve heard in the 00`s as well.

The last four that you don`t like, well they are all commercial of which 3 are groove metal and 1 nu-metal, and as they say its just a question of choice here.
