Well, I've never hailed Metal as my favorite genre of music; however, Iron Maiden is great. Some of my contemporary favs are: Atreyu, Killswitch Engage, Opeth and From Autumn to Ashes. Speaking of Pantera; sorry guys, but way too Red Neck for me. Look, what happened to Dimebag Darrell was a tragedy, but Pantera always seemed to appeal to the trailer park, and besides how lame of a name is Pantera. "It means Panther for Pete's Sake." In short, even though I love old Metallica, James Hetfield lost me with his Red Neck rants of "Yeah, Oh Yeah or better yet; Yeah-i-yeaaah from the Black Album and onwards.
