Mastodon for me. Whilst I really enjoy Remission and Leviathan, I think that Blood Mountain and Crack The Skye are near perfect.

Seriously, I was just old enough to catch the end of Thrash being popular. I always ended up regretting buying cds in the 90's. You guys are right about there being good power metal in the 90s though
In the 90s, you really had to check albums from NEW bands because old bands started to release nothing but crap in the name of change and (d)evolution. Even those who made a strong return after 2000 were shitty in the 90s.
Yeah, that's so true 
people I knew were mostly into stuff like Pantera, Rage Against The Machine, Alice in Chains, Sublime etc. or even Grunge and Alternative Rock, none of which I could get into really. I eventually just asked the dude at Amoeba "whats good if I like this..." and it was usually pretty on point. At least the rap was good in the 90s though.

Nachtmystium
Blind Guardian (yes, fucking sue me)
Enslaved
Opeth
Immortal
Hypocrisy
Kamelot (Ghost Opera and Black Halo FTW)
Amon Amarth. Their last album just sounded more focused than the other ones. Good production also helped.
Devin Townsend - In my opinion, Addicted > Most of his other stuff..Bad maybe Ziltoid
Katatonia
There. You all probably hate my poser-ness now

Hypocrisy - Like a lot their more ambient/death releases
Emperor - Equilibrium IX and Prometheus are major kicking ass extreme symphonic.
Death - Great stuff in the past, but from Human to Sound of Perseverance they grown as anyone has growth!
Grave Digger - Although i like Heavy metal breakdown, wargames and stuff, i still find they reached it when they released Tunes of War, and since this, they only released great stuff

If it wasn't for A Blaze in the Northern Sky, I'd have said Darkthrone. The newer albums are kickass punky speed metal and a step away from the mediocrity of most of the old bm stuff (where only A Blaze... and Under... stood out as really good).
Yeah, I largely think Transilvanian Hunger is a steaming pile of shit.

Rotting Christ in their early days were grindcore. While I'm unfamiliar with their mid era gothic work, they're early bm was far better then this... Stuff...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a372FqKhwcE

For me, I have to say Amon Amarth and Nevermore. Don't get me wrong, I love both bands' early stuff, but the better production really won me over on the later stuff. Poorer production has its place in some albums, and can even lend atmosphere to the music without the music itself being particularly atmospheric, but I'm not looking for atmosphere when I listen to Amon Amarth and Nevermore.

Kataklysm.
I love their more melodic stuff. Songs like "Tear down the kingdom" and "Angels weeping the dark" are the perfect mix of brutality and melody. Doesn't get better than that.

Destruction.
The old albums are produced too akwardly for me to listen to them for extended periods of time. They have awesome music on them though.

I agree with the OP on Kreator but disagree about Exodus. I dont think Exodus are all that different then their earlier Zetro era stuff. Yes more technical but even in the old recordings you can hear that crunching guitar tone that is even more prominent on the newer releases. Fabulous Disaster and Pleasures of The Flesh specifically come to mind while I type this. That sound progressed more and more with each album until it became what is today. Shovel Headed Kill Machine is one of my favorite Exodus albums though.. I for one actually love Rob Dukes vocals.
One band that comes to mind for me is Six Feet Under. I think the lyrics on the early albums are extremely juvenile. I actually enjoy Commandment and Death Rituals quite a bit. Not the best band in the world but they are good fun to listen to.

I would agree. All of their albums are awesome but Blood Mountain and Crack The Skye might very well be two of my favorite albums of all time.

Ha, you posted the same message of MA Really shitty bands, all of them.
Back on topic, I'm gonna agree with the guy who said Destruction- I enjoy their old works of course, but the new ones are just... Better  Also gonna add D.R.I- I love their early hardcore albums, but their crossover albums, particularly thrash zone, are superior.

Type O Negative's final two albums mean so much more to me than their older ones. Not really METAL metal but still a great band.
Love all Cannibal Corpse but they are just get better and better IMO

Metallica. Load, Reload, St. Anger and Death Magnetic are alljust vastly superior to anything the released before that.

You mad, AJFA is one of their best. Behind Kill'em all and RTL, but ahead of everything else. MoP is really overrated...

I agree on AJFA being better than MOP. Because, if I think about it...
I find all the albums Metallica released in the 80s boring. But, while undoubtedly boring here and there for me, listening to Kill'Em All, RTL or AJFA from beginning to end would not be an ordeal. However, MOP is so inconsistent an extremely dull, listening to it from beginning to end would be excrutiating.

I do find even metallica's 80s albums are predictable from start to finish which makes them extremely boring.

For every good song on MoP, there's a snoozer. Battery, Damage Inc, the title track, and Dissposble heros are enjoyable, even if the latter is to long for its own good, but the rest is dull. Leper Messiah has that awful plodding riff, TTTSNB has the same problem, only even more so, Sanitarium sounds forced in comparison to their other early ballads, and Orion, well let me try to describe it...  Although all of Metallica's instrumentals are dull.

AJFA was my favorite for the longest time but listening to it recently I just cant get into it. It is trying to be too epic which is why they wanted a change and made the black album. "Harvester" is still the best song ever though. If it weren't for that album though metal music would not be the same today. Even Mikael Akerfeldt said in some video on youtube that if not for that slow midsection of "to live is to die" Opeth might not exist.
Load is definitely in my top 3.
