Quite a few of the other groups on there sound overpolished as well, its also part of the metal scene. Some of my all-time fav groups in other genres are overpolished as well. Again whether a group sounds raw or overpolished its not something I would assess the validity of the group with. I would base the validity of the group on originality, evolution, variety, technical ability and talent etc. and not on factors such as being polished up or raw.

I agree with a fair amount of this list, but I've gotta say, there's really too many songs for each individual artist and newer metal is pretty poorly represented. Also I'd say that not many genre's are spanned so for me this list is a bit too closed.

By overpolished I mean its sounds fake, delibertly commercialized for the ears of the top 40 crowd in the same way Limp Biscuit was. I've got no problem with people liking Pantera, but there will always be a large contigent of people who feel that they were bandwagon jumpers.
Songs like "Walk" you may have a valid point for, along with some of the softer tracks. In general, Pantera`s sound never really changed from that aggressive initial groove sound that they introduced on "Cowboys From Hell" to "Reinventing the Steel" in fact it got more agressive. To be honest I never saw anything fake about them, considering they were blasting out a new metal genre, how can somebody be fake by being original?

Had they sounded like say Iron Maiden or Metallica, I`d certainly agree with you about the fake aspect.

This last was last updated in 2005.

Maybe we should make our own updates to it?

A MB's 100 'Greatest Metal Songs' thread doesn't sound like a bad idea.

Agreed -- if you were lucky enough to have seen them live - you'd know that they're anything but fake. Anselmo is about as big a redneck bigot as you can get - and shows it on stage proving that they don't really care much for image...
