No doubts, I say Metallica.\nThey are the history of metal music, they are metal music.\nMaster of puppets, One, Enter Sandman, The unforgiven....\n\nThis is history, guys, we can't forget it.\n\nMegadeth is a good band, but the comparison is not possible in my opinion.\nBye

I have heard and own quite of few of these bands. You might also want to check out Dream Evil and Edguy. Also checkout the websites below. Particularly the first one. Also check out the band Rhapsody. Got some really nice Epic Metal.

the best band CURRENTLY playing music is Iron Maiden.\n\nthey have been around for close to THIRTY YEARS and they still headline festivals and sell out 80-100,000 seat venues to this day.\n\nthat's staying power. that's the greatest band.

DEFINITELY Children of Bodom or Lamb of God or maybe Chimaira. Shadows Fall. All of them are very good. Give em a listen and you wont be disappointed. Get Ashes of the Wake by Lamb of God. War Within and the Art of balance by Shadows fall. Also Slayer's Reign in blood. \nHere are some links which you can sample the songs...\nhttp://www.amazon.com/Art-Balance-Shadows-Fall/dp/B00006IQLG/sr=8-3/qid=1164594643/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3/102-5584741-6661706?ie=UTF8&s=music\nhttp://www.amazon.com/War-Within-Shadows-Fall/dp/B0002VAKK2/sr=8-2/qid=1164594643/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/102-5584741-6661706?ie=UTF8&s=music\nhttp://www.amazon.com/Ashes-Wake-Lamb-God/dp/B0002S94OS/sr=8-2/qid=1164594725/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/102-5584741-6661706?ie=UTF8&s=music\nhttp://www.amazon.com/Reign-Blood-Slayer/dp/B000062YAZ/sr=8-2/qid=1164594813/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/102-5584741-6661706?ie=UTF8&s=music\nHave a metal christmas!

Opeth-they are more progressive death metal, but they are my all time favorite metal band. \n\nCradle Of Filth- they are kinda satanic, but they rock out alot. \n\nKataklysm- they are really good. \n\nA Dozen Furies- they rock out. \n\nNorma Jean- not exactly black metal, more screamo, but still good. \n\nThe Agony Scene- they are awesome. A good death/black metal band.

C'mon, man... Slipknot, Disturbed, Korn and Drowning Pool are not metal. My favorite subgenre of metal is traditional/heavy and my favorite band from that is Judas Priest. The other genres:\n\nPower: Kamelot\nTharsh: Kreator\nDeath: Nile\nBlack: Emperor\nProgressive: Pagan's Mind\nFolk: Skyforger\nViking: Bathory
