I certainly think they're highly rated in the UK but it's on the European mainland where there fanbase is at its strongest as far as I know. What's special about Celtic Frost was their ability to constantly set the yardstick for extreme European metal, because I think without them we may never have had top quality extreme metal bands from countries like Norway, Sweden and Finalnd etc.

I see, they were influential in the same way Bathory was. That makes sense then. I don't know how long you plan to do this but it will be interesting if you ever get to the 2000's. I like the general sound of a lot of the pagan & Viking black metal bands, but can rarely find a stand out quality song, so hope you list a few.
