Top 5 Bands of all time?

I'd add The Blackening for Machine Head.

Now I Lay Thee Down, Aesthetics of Hate, A Farewell to Arms and Halo are all utterly magnificent.
 
Early Mastodon bridges the gap for me too.

Sleeping Giant is a masterpiece. Saw them support Tool in 2006/7 - flawless.
 
Listened to Down's second album on the way back from Devon on Sunday. It's a fucking awesome metal album.
 
I just wish metal bands of that certain era weren't seemingly so obsessed with being... campy?
 
I'm here for it, to an extent. Just a lot of groups tried to ape that shit, some successfully, others less so.

It's a turn-off for me these days tbh.
 
Will throw in Sabaton and Nightwish as must listen to bands also.
 
Only if you like rock music, if you’re a folk or dance music man they won’t be classed as such

He did write them, the music anyway. Bernie Taupin obviously wrote the majority of the lyrics.

Kinda my point... I suppose he could have played his piano for 2 and a half hours ;)

If you want to go by that metric I’m pretty sure you’ve just slashed the length of every solo artist’s gigs by 90% or so!
 
My cousin is an enormous Mr. Bungle fan(Even has a tattoo on his arm relating to them) so it could be worse.
 
Some essential albums
Metallica - Everything up to and including the Black Album
Slayer - Everything
Anthrax - Among the Living, State of Euphoria, Persistence of Time
Megadeth - Peace Sells, So Far So Good So What, Rust in Peace
Testament - The Legacy, New Order
Exodus - Bonded By Blood, Pleasures of the Flesh, Fabulous Disaster
Sepultura - Beneath the Remains, Arise, Chaos AD, Roots
Machine Head - Burn My Eyes, The Blackening
Kreator - Pleasure to Kill, Extreme Aggression
Helloween - Walls of Jericho, Keeper of the Seven Keys Part I

Loads more on top of that but it’s a start

Scanner-Hypertrace
Gamma Ray-Heading for Tomorrow

These are some solid ones also.
 
Just unbelievably ashamed of this forum that I am going to be the one to mention Iron Maiden.

Probably Powerslave (1985). Though personally I think Somewhere In Time (1987) has become my favorite of theirs. Or Killers (1981).
 
Piece of Mind Powerslave Somewhere in Time is the sweet spot. Number of the Beast is rightly lauded but the three above are where they really nailed it.
