Would it be too much of a personal choice to remove something from the grindcore battle and replace it with a Fuck the Facts album? They don't seem to be rated quite as high as some grind bands, but they're still clearly top shelf, and using bands that have unique takes on their genres makes for a more interesting battle IMO.
I took William the Bloody's advice about limiting my own personal feelings toward bands when making lists, so I don't want to just throw out a band who deserves it more, or who is generally considered to be more essential, but since this is a forum battle rather than a thread in a forum dedicated to metal in general or one specific sub-genre, I try to take MB's opinions as a whole into account as well as generally accepted wisdom.
Such as the metalcore list; depending on the audience I might throw in more acts such as Unearth or Trivium, just cause a certain type of metalcore fan probably hasn't even heard of Ringworm or Integrity, but as many of the metal fans on this forum have diverse, comprehensive tastes that often include hardcore, post-hardcore, and noise rock, I took the chance that they would be familiar with and more interested in a band like Snapcase or Unbroken.
P.S. @ William- I noticed you stopped posting during our discussion. I don't know if you just aren't interested in the thread, or if my style of debate just made you feel like I was attacking you, but I just wanted to say that no antagonism or insult was meant. That's just how I post.
