Best Metal Band?

Answer 1

Everyone knows the typical Metallica, Megadeth, Pantera, Slayer, Maiden, Ozzy, blah blah blah. They're all great, and should all be considered the "best" metal bands, because they're the reason metal is what it is today. So, I'd rather talk about metal in the last few years.

There's too many good bands old and new and in different genres of metal to declare one the best, but here are some good bands in the metal/metalcore/rock/emo what ever floats your boat scene today:

For you emo fans... check out Atreyu, Eighteen Visions, Thrice, and Silverstein.

If you want something a little more hardcore try 100 Demons, Suffocation, Hatebreed, Madball, Most Precious Blood, Bleeding Through, Bury Your Dead, Throwdown, and Walls of Jericho (my personal fav)

For you metal/thrash fans... Trivium, Bullet for My Valentine, Shadows Fall, Killswitch Engage, All That Remains, Still Remains, In Flames, Soilwork, Lamb of God, God Forbid, Dragonforce, As I Lay Dying, The Autumn Offering, Children of Bodom, Arch Enemy, Nightwish, Sinergy, Lullacry, Lacuna Coil... the list could go on forever.

And finally if you just want something out there... Dillinger Escape Plan, Sikth, Between the Buried and Me, and Vomitory (rofl, inside joke)

I know I'm leaving out black metal and other genres, but frankly, I don't feel like listing bands for 8 hours he he.

I could go on for days.

Answer 2

What kind of Metal!? There are so many different kinds. Black Sabbath started it all and Metallica keep it going but then became commercial. Here are my favorites, check them out and listen! Slayer, King Diamond, Megadeth, Immortal, Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, Hypocrisy, Celtic Frost, Mayhem, Kreator, Judas Preist, Iron Maiden, Ozzy again. If I had to pick 1 I would say impossible, my list would go on for hours. Check all kinds of metal out, there is something out there you are truely missing if you do not.

Answer 3

For a person who doesn't listen to much metal, and definitely no heavy metal, I have to say Metallica, just because they are the best band for any rock genre in my opinion.
2nd best would have to be Tool, or maybe even 1st, since they are more of a pure metal band than Metallica.
