I have to agree with Janzoon, I think the '00's was the best decade for metal. So many of the really good metal bands that formed in the late '80's/early to mid '90's put out their best material in the last decade. Don't get me wrong though, the '90's had a stellar amount of amazing metal albums, my metal album of all time being a '90's metal album, but a lot of the really good '90's metal albums were bands who formed in the '80's. Sure the mainstream metal might suck for the '00's but the technology was so advanced that it didn't matter, to many people the radio became obsolete, you didn't need to special order CD's online or from record stores, you could just go out and see what else was out there besides the wall paste dribble being spooned into our mouths by the mainstream media.
