Iron Maiden - (better music, more consistent discography, more energy) Black Sabbath - (invented Metal, better overall sound, more albums I like) Metallica - (love both, love Metallica a bit more) Slayer - (Anthrax has like 2 good albums.. Slayer has at least 3) Testament - (Along with Death Angel, my two fave classic Thrash bands) Kreator - (Exodus is the most overrated 80s Thrash band EVER) Overkill - (I like a few Annihilator albums more, but Overkill is WAY more consistent) Death - (The progressive nature and Chuck's guitar work are far better than MA) Obituary - (Cannibal Corpse.. really? Why not list some Slipknot too???) Suffocation - (Deicide = Boring Cliche, Suffocation = Brutal Awesomeness) Pantera - (Just not that into Machine Head) Children of Bodom - (Not huge on either, but once In Flames went Metalcore... meh) Kalmah - (Norther = Generic MeloDeath Mediocrity) BFMV - (Trivium is actually better, but the only album I have from either is Scream, Aim, Fire) TBDM - (Don't listen to either regularly, but I have heard more TBDM I like than WhiteChapel, so far)
No Death Angel? Evile? Eluveitie, Arkona, Emperor, Immortal, Enslaved, Primordial, Atheist, Pestilence, Bolt Thrower, etc?????????????? BLASPHEMY!!!! =P
