And how can you call my choices not prominent? By the time those three bands came on the scene, the genre was already established. Poison the Well and Killswitch are far more relevant than those bands as far as that kind of metalcore goes

Also, I would shoot myself in the head before allowing Bullet for My ****ing Valentine anywhere near my list. I have no problem with generic melodic metalcore in theory, but that band is a crime against music.
I never said your list wasn't prominent, I simply said you are leaving out some prominent releases.

As for Snapcase, I would consider them to be more of a post hardcore band, Integrity & Ringworm sure...proto metalcore, but if your going to go this route, Earth Crisis was probably the biggest band in this genre. I'm not really bothered though, as I think they all suck lol.

Its not for me to tell you how to run your survivor thread, but if you start cherry picking bands on the basis of whether you like them or not, you run the risk of alienating people who would otherwise play.

I had just assumed that Napalm Death was on the list, they are after all the most famous and successful band to grace the stage of grindcore, but your thread your choice.

Again. Depends on your definition of metalcore. I see both bands referred to as founders of the genre, and if you're calling metalcore just metallic hardcore then they certainly qualify. Earth Crisis were also on the list, but I felt had much the same sound as Unbroken, who were better and more critically cited, even if they didn't have the exposure. So I bumped them.

I try not to cherry pick, but with only ten spots, certain genres just throw up even more than ten bands who are just as relevant and just as deserving of a spot. Napalm Death aren't much different than their contemporaries, and there were plenty of almost, if not just as equally influential bands with far more distinctive sounds that I figure would make for a more interesting battle.

I could always go and drop Discordance Axis like I said and add them if enough peope really care, but otherwise I'm not worried about it.

I like none of those albums, so I will probably not participate.

Kyuss - Welcome to Sky Valley
Corrosion of Conformity - Deliverance
Down - NOLA
Baroness - Red Album

Aside from Down and Baroness I love pretty much all of these. This one's going to be difficult.

I like that Boris album, sort of. If that album is still in at the end I may participate. By the way, I don't think Briks will participate either. Go bug him about it.

Hey, Jansz. You wouldn't possibly change the "Death Metal" in the thread name to "Sludge/Stoner"?
