i prefer European metal because i mostly listen to power metal and folk/viking metal and europe has the best bands for those genre, and i hate metalcore and nu metal i just can't like them AND especially RAP METAL, RAP cannot and should not be combined with the HOLY BLOOD of METAL and its epicness LOL oh well, lets see who can make the best convincing argument
Black Sabbath - Paranoid Judas Priest - Sad Wings of Destiny Motorhead - Ace of Spades Diamond Head - Lightning to the Nations AC/DC - Back in Black Venom - Black Metal Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast Mercyful Fate - Melissa Queensryche - Queensryche Metallica - Kill 'Em All Slayer - Show No Mercy Megadeth - Killing is My Business...and Business is Good! Corrosion of Conformity - Animosity Suicidal Tendencies - Join the Army Death - Scream Bloody Gore Possessed - Seven Churches Pantera - Cowboys From Hell I'm sure there are more. I keep getting interrupted and can't think straight right now. Also, need to pay respect to the early Glam Metal days too. Dokken, RATT, Motley Crue etc... and the early 90's alternative metal bands like Helmet and Korn have a place in history like it or not.
