I show them respect, but dont see them as metal, sry about that.
The metalguitaristheors of today, like Jeff Loomis of Nevermore, Michael and Christopher Amott of Arch Enemy, Kirk Hammet of Metallica, John Petrucci of Dream Theater etc. have pretty highend skills on their instruments, a requierment for metalmusic in my opinion, and are hard to cover, even for a expirienst musician.
The Sabbath songs even could be covered by a 11 years old, you see.
Sorry, if Im pissing you off with a kind of disrespect, dont get me wrong on this, I respect them, but they are not metal.
If you compare a average heavymetal band like, well lets say erm, yeah Stone Sour (band of Corey Taylor from Slipknot and a what I call heavymetal band, no newmetalstuff) with Sabbath, I bet you´ll say the new band got more balls, better songwriting- and instrumentskills.

Im 29 years old btw. and yes, I listen to older stuff like Leppard, Zeppelin, Sabbath, Uriah etc. too, but I will not call them heavymetal at all.

Thank god, the taste of music is nothing to discuss about, altough this is very intressting.
+1 for the Topicstarter
I agree that taste is a subjective thing, so who the hell is right?
Regarding Black Sabbath, I totally understand your point, but I don't share it, coz like you said, every 11 years old could cover Paranoid or Smoke in the Water (Deep Purple), easier perhaps, but the thing is these bands did it more than 30 years ago, and most important, you may cover them but you won't sound like them ever.  If Ozzy'd walk in front of me I would have to get in my knees and praise him coz he's the godfather of all fucking heavy metal, and we all must thank him for ever.

Thanks for karma.

I said other because my favorites are bands like Destroyer 666, Sabbat(the Japanese one), Gehennah(Swe), and Nunslaughter.  My all time favorite is probably one of these thrash legends though: Testament, Sodom, Kreator, Destrution.

Not too long ago I would have said Metallica, but their stuff has gone steadily downhill, while Megadeth has only had a bad couple of albums, and the rest is pretty much pure gold.

Some people don't like Mustaine's voice, but since I started getting interested in power metal, it doesn't bother me at all anymore.

Good songs
Good Mourning
Holy Wars
Into the Lungs of Hell
Use the Man
Hangar 18
Tout le Monde
Tears in a Vial
...and of course, Symphony of Destruction.

If I wanted to be snotty about it, I'd probably go with someone like Opeth, but I get the feeling that they haven't quite figured out what they want their style to be, yet. Damnation was awesome, and I liked Ghost Reveries, but it feels to me like they're still just kinda trying on the clean vocals to see how the fans react. Once they start owning them instead of just testing them out, I'll feel better about the band.

Wow, you got some difficult choices there. Pantera gets my vote though, although Metallica and Maiden are high up in the ranks too.

That's the meaning of the other option, since you can not put a poll with 20 options.  I saw Whitesnake live in 1997 before a Megadeth concert, and they sucked, and Coverdale sucked the most that day.

It is a sad, sad day for Metal/Rock when SOAD has almost as many votes as Sabbath.

And Metallica was only sweet during the 80's, and even then, Slayer had them beat.

what she said @ metallica, I'd go with tool for their inventiveness and complexity, but their classification is arguable, no one seems sure where to stick them, of course dethklok could kick tool's ass

Metalli-fucking-ca,
Although their recent stuff isn't as good,  their best was black album and before!!!! IMO

Sabbath have some real old classics, but are before me really!
Justice was their best IMO.

Mettalica's the only one I saw live, and that was an awesome concert. The others I've only heard recordings, and I think Metallica had the best produced albums. The guys behind the scenes make a big difference to the quality. If you put it in context of how good they are/were for their time I'd say Black Sab.

KISS were pretty huge, I only got to know their stuff well because of a guy I used to live with (...a huge KISS fan and he owned the CD player )

Just because no one has said it, I guess I have too, TANKARD!!!! nothing like alcoholic German Thrash to start your day.  Chemical Invasion is still my favorite album from them, have the picture vinyl of it.
