Oops, thought the poll closes tomorrow. Time flies. 46&2 is one of my less liked Tool songs and it still slaps, they have such a strong catalog.

Led Zeppelin's vikings have slain their share of archers over the years, it seems. Tool and Tarot? It's a Tie. Evanescence barely goes under against Type O Negative. Aerosmith's dreams aren't of 70s horror films. Opeth arises. Count Raven's Baltic storm has caught up Morbid Angel.

Yeah, this is a really rough round. Apologies to everyone. Yes, you still have to vote.
On all the matchups.

Devils Island and Forever have words.
The Pretender is a perfectly good song, but I have to reward the power metal band in the metal game. It's a good song, too. Kamelot.
I like Somewhere I Belong enough, but I have to reward the thrash metal band in the metal game. Pantera.
This Accept song sucks so much, man. Deep Purple I guess.
I'll vote for Heart, a band that shows ladies can rock hard too.
Megadeth over Quiet Riot, I think. Devils Island isn't a contender but it's a decent enough track.
I will reward the metal song and vote Twisted Sister.

Btw, I nominated Kamelot - since this is one of the few good songs in this round, I want it to be known

Kamelot's Forever, what a great song!
Pruple's Fireball is blast from the past, but Accept's Princess Of The Dawn is timeless with its riff.
Hells Bells, give me melodic riffs!
Megadeth's song has great guitar ideas, but Quiet Riot's Metal Health is classic glam metal, which is more for me, not necessarily a better song.
Twisted Sister's Under The Blade is one of their best and pure metal songs.

Foo Fighters - The Pretender vs. Kamelot - Forever
Foo Fighters alright, Kamelot pretty bad The Pretender
Pantera - Revolution is My Name vs. Linkin Park - Somewhere I Belong
Pantera track was from the period after I had stopped listening to them, so never heard it before. Some good riffs, and Sababth-esque middle eight, but very muffled sound. Linkin Park, was same as all their songs. Revolution is My Name
Deep Purple - Fireball vs. Accept - Princess of the Dawn
Much of a muchness on these tracks, neither's best work nor their worst Fireball
AC/DC - Hells Bells vs. Heart - Barracuda
Baracuda is great but c'mon. Hells Bells best track in the round, and probably going back a long time to find a round with a better track Hells Bells
Quiet Riot - Metal Health (Bang Your Head) vs. Megadeth - Devils Island
Metal Health is alright but the bulk of it is completely derivative of Leppard's Let it Go. Devils Island monstrous Devils Island
Steppenwolf - Born to be Wild vs. Twisted Sister - Under the Blade
Under the Blade not Sister's best, Born to be Wild a classic of heavy metal thunder Born to be Wild
Foo Fighters alright, Kamelot pretty bad The Pretender
