Death, Sabbath, Priest, Maiden, Megadeth, Slayer, grudgingly I'd pick Tallica (pre 1990 of course ha ha)
Motorhead
OK that's 8
I like thrash, so maybe Kreator, Exodus or Testament would be on my list too.
Oh and Dimmu.
Dude, you're missing out. Great muscianship and writing can not be denied. In fact, I take and steal from the wells of chrsitianity. Even better, my main source of brutality comes from the Bible, and real life experiences. Gents such as Kerry, The Hoffmans, King Diamond, Anton, Aleister, Twain, David Vincent, Lovecraft, Dawkins, Nietzche, Hitler, Nero, Angelo, Hieronymus and Lucifer himself would agree.
The majority of Black/Death metal bands is inspired by that book, and by the artist and musicians that took from it!! They wouldn't exist without it. Oh, the irony!
Besides, the main point is, great metal stands on its own. I'd much rather listen to the many amazing christian metal bands than horrible "evil" ones..and visa-versa. I could turn you onto bands you'd like..alot of the stuff is gruff and implied anywhoo.
Mustaine is a christian, and I'm listening to him as we speak. C'mon isn't your loved ones, family and such of white light faiths? Mine is..I'm not disowning them anytime soon.
"Evil" is subjective. Satan is not "evil". He represents freedom, rebellion and power!

For the most part I agree with this list. I'd take out Tool and Zeppelin though, and probably DT in favor of Testament, Anvil and Manowar. Why wasn't Manowar on the list? All of their CD's and song titles have "metal" in it!

I hate "best of" lists they are all totally bullshit in every way shape and form.
If they want to do a list, do a top ten money grossing tours in metal or something like that.
As soon as someone says "This metal band is better then that one" I want to shit in their mouth.
It's all opinion who is the best, worst, whatever. These lists are just a way for rags to act as though they are some how relevant in music anymore.
I'd rather headline a fucking obituary then the cover of Rolling stone magazine. EVER.
I'm with you. It amazed me to read Dave Mustaine's comments about Joel McIvors "100 Greatest Metal Guitarists" book. He was overjoyed to be above James and Kirk. Like it fucking matters ONE random guy says so.
Dont get me wrong, the list was decent, since he recognised Jeff Water for he genius he is - but seriously, McIvor is just one guy with no more "right or wrong" an opinion than anyone else.
