Neither do the other twenty-four bands on the list, except for Metallica, Slayer and Mastodon.

To be honest, I could understand Lamb of God being on some people's list. They wouldn't be on mine, I like them, but they aren't a top 25 band. But for some people, they changed and revolutionized metal (for them) in a good way.

[mastodon421]

1.Mastodon
2.Between The Buried and Me
3.Iron Maiden
4.Pantera
5.Killswitch Engage
6.Metallica
7.The Black Dahlia Murder
8.Megadeth
9.Lamb Of God
10.Morbid Angel
11.Children Of Bodom
12.The Red Chord
13.Gojira
14.Slayer
15.In Flames
16.Death
17.Judas Priest
18.Korn
19.Rob/White Zombie
20.High On Fire
21.Hatebreed
22.The Dillinger Escape Plan
23.Unearth
24.As I Lay Dying
25.The Faceless

Very Hard list to make and clearly its just metal bands. It would have been even harder if I threw in non-metal artists

I'm not sure I could make a list with just metal, for some of my favorite music is more rock than metal

[DethMaiden]

Alright, an "official" top ten. I feel good about this.

1. Iron Maiden
2. Clutch
3. Opeth
4. Rush
5. Mastodon
6. Between the Buried and Me
7. Carcass
8. My Dying Bride
9. Immortal
10. Megadeth

Megadeth only falls to 10 because Risk and United Abominations are worse than anything the rest of these bands have ever made (despite not TOTALLY sucking.)

Also, I realize this looks like "oh, well he's just representing every facet of his tastes with one band," but that's kind of for a reason. When I want to listen to classic metal a lot, Maiden eats up 75% of that listening; when I want to listen to rock n' roll, Clutch eats up 75%; lotsa prog metal splits between Opeth, Mastodon, and BTBAM; prog rock primarily goes to Rush; death metal to Carcass; doom metal to My Dying Bride; black metal to Immortal; thrash to Megadeth. So, yeah, it's kind of by design. I love all these genres, but when I get on a real genre kick, these are the bands that come to the front of the pack, and I don't need excuses to listen to any of them out of the blue either.
