For most part my List changes around a bit. There are however a few bands that have remained up there pretty much constant. I'll give it a go, but guarantee as soon as I hit post I'll change my mind on some.

Here's my top 10 metal bands.
1. Dark Tranquility
2. In Flames - I tend to like the older stuff more, but newer In Flames is ok
3. Children Of Bodom - Again more the old stuff
4. Woods Of Ypres
5. Agalloch
6. Blind Guardian
7. Savatage
8. Manowar
9. My Dying Bride
10. Kamelot

No order to that really.

Death
Type O Negative
In Flames
Dark Tranquillity
Slayer
Black Sabbath
Into Eternity
Disillusion
Deathchain
Pantera

Black Sabbath
Type O Negative
Metallica
Megadeth
Slayer
Dio
Pantera
Ozzy-solo
Judas Priest
Testament

Awesome list. Blind Guardian is my favorite band and old In Flames and CoB are among my favorite things to listen to as well. Woods of Ypres, Agalloch, Savatage and My Dying Bride would all be in my Top 20 or so bands as well.

I love old In Flames but I am starting to like their newer material as the years pass. Most notably The Soundtrack To Your Escape and A Sense of Purpose.

Nice Ulver avatar btw. One of my all time favorite bands. Everything they do is genius.

1) Black Sabbath
2) Ozzy Osbourne
3) Megadeth
4) Motley Crue
5) Edguy
6) Slayer
7) Type O Negative
8) Iron Maiden
9) Queensryche

uh, why is Motley Crue on your top 10 metal bands list?

aren't they rock?

Nah, they're definitely metal. Check their first two albums and try to argue with me.

Is that a challenge?

An order I'd say.

I don't take orders from unknown soldiers. ;P

Don't you mean Batmen, I never issued the original statement, just commented on it.

Well, it might be interesting to see Batlord argue with me on metal. Come at me, lil' chiroptera! :pimp:

Not metal my ass.

My ass > Mötlue Crüe.

Motley Crue > J-Lo's ass

Impossible to narrow it to 10, so here's the ten I'm listening to at the moment: (mix of metal core, metal, and all sorts actually)
