Pantera was always a mediocre band of rednecks anyways. Dimebag was the closest to talented they had, though I think he is also given to much credit personally for being a better guitarist than he actually was. Boring seeing him listed as best metal guitarist in mainstream magazines... Chuck Schuldiner could of shredded circles around him... yet he never seemed to make the lists.

Haha what???
They aren't even in my top 20 favorite bands, but to call them mediocre is...silly.
Death isn't mainstream, so why would a mainstream magazine include it on one of its lists? Dimebag had an instantly recognizable style (making Pantera more popular than MB-rival Exhorder), and even though Schuldiner's innovations helped bring about death metal, death metal never took off with mainstream audiences (why would it?)
