BubbaVO Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 Go vote here: http://metalhalloffame.blogspot.com/ no objections to the top 5. I would have put Judas Priest at the top. But I can't deny the popularity influence of Black Sabbath - a worthy #1 IMHO.
GaryT Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 Looks like Mercyful Fate is gonna be the next unless theirs a drastic change in the voting.
JohnnyB Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 What, no Jethro Tull? They won the first heavy metal Grammy so they must be the best, right?
Brooks Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 pantera should be next, but i don't see 'em in the list, WTF?
JohnnyB Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 where are the scorpions??????????????? They were disqualified for their filthy album covers. Even Metal has its limits (yeah, right).
edgar_allan_poe Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 IMHO Anthrax should be up there as well. They started the whole rock/rap genre. JMHO. Sabbath is a no brainer.
Punkavenger Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 I always considered most of those bands "Hard rock" or Classic rock" hmmm , What do I know?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_Metal_music
edgar_allan_poe Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Just out of curiosity, can anyone post the list? I can't get to that site from work.
alantig Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 IMHO Anthrax should be up there as well. They started the whole rock/rap genre. JMHO. Sabbath is a no brainer. A perfect reason why Anthrax should be disqualified! The first five inductees from the list: 1- Black Sabbath 2- Judas Priest 3- Iron Maiden 4- Metallica 5- Slayer The ones in the poll: Mercyful Fate Megadeth Helloween Venom Kreator Death Bathory Motorhead Voivod Anthrax I'd expect Mercyful Fate or Megadeth to get it, but I'd go for Motorhead. Incidentally, and I don't remember seeing this mentioned so apologies if it was - while getting caught up on my Guitar Player (I still have three magazines where I'm a year behind), I came across an article about a book that ranks the top metal guitarists of all time, and surprisingly, the number one slot went to Dave Mustaine. Don't recall the reasoning at the moment, but it was a pleasant surprise to see a different name at the top of the list. Alan

Let's go stuff the ballot box.
edgar_allan_poe Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 A perfect reason why Anthrax should be disqualified! biggrin.gifI hear ya...not my thing either. But, none of those other bands besides Sabbath have had as much of an influence on modern Metal as Anthrax. Great/good bands? Absolutely. But none of them changed the genre as much as Sabbath and Anthrax.
Steve Haynie Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 The L.A. hair bands are missing. In a way that is good, but there were some of those bands that earned a place at the top. Is Motorhead really metal? They have their own way of playing rock and roll that does not fall in line with any other bands. They just sound like a very heavy hard rock band.
Turdus Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Is Motorhead really metal? Surely they are part of the NWOBHM crowd. And with that, Saxon should be on the list.
zorrow Posted November 30, 2009 Author Posted November 30, 2009 I voted Mercyful Fate. I am a big fan, but in addition they are certainly quite influential and original. I would have gone next with Death and Megadeth, in that order, if I had voted more than once. Edited to add: Is there any other band actually deserving the 6th position more than Mercyful Fate?
