I don't get this list. Do you mean you used to like these bands before you even started listening to their music, and when you did, you hated them? Lawl.

For the most part I liked one or two songs, then upon listening to them it became apparent that these bands were not for me.

I totally agree to what you say there about Guns N' Roses; I disagree to what you say there about Deep Purple, to me they are in the same league with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath.

Love the descriptions...

Lame. Specially considering how great the 90s were for Metal. Sure, the mainstream was awful and so were the popular genres like thrash and heavy metal.
That's when black, death and doom metal took charge and great music came along in the (at the time) underground. The 90s were definitely the salvation back when the most popular genres were dying.

I think it seems more like he's trying to convince us most of the '80s sucked to be honest.

Not impossible. I did find hiscomment quite ambiguous so you might be right. It's also not the first time I've ever heard of someone saying 90's metal sucked.

If this was my list I'd put Dream Theater on here, I liked Pull Me Under and a couple of other songs but after listening to a couple of their albums in full they simply bored me.

Like you said above, the 90s was a great decade for extreme metal; but for those who are hardly or at all into this kind of music, the decade still sucked. I for one did not find much to listen to. Only the rise of progressive metal worked for me and a bunch of gothic metal albums, plus some artists from previous couple of decades that were still making music.

I meant it more as a joke and didn't really mean to say that metal in the nineties sucked, it was just an offhand comment.

Thanks, I got bored the weekend after knee surgery so I thought I'd just do this to waste some time.

I was referring to what Mr Doctor said above (about black, death and doom being great in the 90s); you got to say whatever you want, I got the right to agree or disagree

Oh girl, you did not just say that Gamma Ray sucks!


This song=Everything good about metal. It's got speed. It's got power. It's got shredding solos. It's got a big ass triumphant chorus. Let's be serious for a moment, if you don't like this you suck.

I never said Gamma Ray sucks I said it was "The sonic equivalent of Frodo banging a dragon"

Also if this is the barometer for whether or not I suck, I'm fine with sucking. lol

I know, but it's kinda my job around here to overreact about dumb stuff (such as Vampires Everywhere), get overly excited about my favorite bands, and tell people that they suck.

You suck on wieners.

Maybe you should stop listening to albums and just focus on listening to the first couple of Youtube vids you see after typing in the band's name.
Problem solved... idiot.

Haha, how to end any argument successfully. ^^

I disagree with a couple of the entries on this list (especially Cannibal Corpse and Deep Purple) but I do understand the feeling of digging a band at first but then exploring their discography more and losing interest.
