I don't think I can listen to 80's death metal ever again, especially. Thinnest musical foundation for a scene ever. Just sped up Slayer ripoffs with cookie monster vocals and ****ty drum sound.
Wrong.
80's death metal kicks ass. Atheist's Piece of Time (Seriously, Steve Flynn is the Neil Peart of death metal and has a great drum sound) and Bolt Thrower's Realm of Chaos are two of the best and heaviest death metal albums ever made. That's when death metal WAS ****ing death metal:
and "cookie monster vocals"? Are you just not a fan of death metal?

I thought about bringing up Atheist but since most of their materials was from the 90s and Unquestionable Presence is my favey that I like to bump, I figured that it would be facetiously rejected.

Atheist needs to be the name of a Christian Rock group.
Sorry, not sorry.

Instead of pissing people off some more I'll probably just agree to not liking death metal. I've got some Nile albums, one Gorod album, and that's it. But my original comment was about 80's metal in gerenal and not death metal. That was just an example of a specific sub genre that I'm totally done with, at least as far as the 80's are concerned.
Since 80's metal is what I was sniping at, I'd say that metal in general (which would include extreme metal sub genres) has become more interesting during the 90's and forward.
I had to take a look at my CD collection and see how many 80's metal albums I even own at all, and it's slim pickings: Some Megadeth, Ozzy and Sabbath. Also two Sanctuary albums (that I never listen to), a couple Sacriliege albums and some Overkill. Motörhead to those who say they count as metal (which they don't). And that's it, out of about 900 CDs where lots of them are metal.

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. The 70's, 80's, and 90's were metal's best decades, it was before the hipsters invaded in the 2000's and overproduced and over-polished albums became the norm. There's only a small amount of post-2000's metal bands that I actually like, most of those being from the new wave of thrash bands.
Oh, and for my unpopular opinion: There's several good nu metal bands, and Blue Cheer was the first metal band.
