Best Band Of Metal/Hard Rock

[AfraidToShootABastos]

For me these are the best Bands. Who can choose one?

 

[Mosh]

I'm pretty sure it's Iron Maiden.

 

[Night Prowler]

Where's the "Dokken" option?

 

[Perun]

Woah, that's one of the worst polls I've ever seen. I call Metallica on the merit of Ride the Lightning alone, toast to AC/DC, relish in old Children of Bodom and leave.

 

[Crimson Idol]

I find the lack of Priest disturbing.

So I shall have to vote GnR.

[Jupz]

Terrible poll. Metallica easily out of those.

 

[DJ James]

Agreed

 

[Vap]

What a terrible poll.

James, some of those bands you listed aren't hard rock/metal.

 

[Black Thunder]

Slipknot isn't a band.

I've seen nicer welcomes to a 16 year old kid. A bit more understanding of his purpose would suit you people better.

Things would have been better if the topic title was different, but his intentions are clear.

AfraidToShootABastos simply presents his favourite bands and he likes us to choose our favourite from that selection. Our other own favourite bands have nothing to with it. Nada.

I'll go for Children of Bodom. They did some good things, though I admit their best work was around 10 years ago.

Guns'N'Roses did some good things but that was 20 years ago.
Metallica did some good things but that was 25 years ago.
AC/DC have produced a number of fine rockers but apart from Thunderstruck that was 30 years ago.

I know you weren't directing at anyone in particular, but my post wasn't meant to be taken as an insult or nasty reaction, just an observation/starwars reference ;D

I think GnR did some good things 3 years ago too tho My World is the only song by GnR I don't really like tbh. So that's why they got my vote. The "25 years ago" brings to mind another topic I considered creating about Quantity vs Quality vs Consistency but I decided against as I think it's simply too 'inconclusive' and impossible to retain it as a theoretical question.

Okay then.

I choose Metallica.

Well, it is certainly an interesting subject to talk about.

If I can find some way to write a post that doesn't come across as "I think band xyz sucks cos of this" and can create a solid question I'll post one up. I don't expect there will be anything even CLOSE to a consensus as to what makes a band 'good' (good in terms of career not comparing one to another) though.

 

[The Flash]

All I can say to the poll is : 

My vote goes to Metallica by the way.

That's not problematic.

What is more important in defining greatness: a flash of brilliance or sustained goodness? (use it for a topic title if you like )
I'd say both. That's why Maiden and Rush are great and Guns and Roses are not.
