Yeah, Dream Theater at #2 is perplexing, but whatever...

That's because they tweeted and FB'd about it to get the DT fans to respond. I actually responded, but voted for Maiden.

Got a can of worms here - anyone notice that Led Zepplin was on the list? BTW - I have no issue with that!

i figured Pantera would have been higher. most mainstream rags usually go on & on about them.

I have no problem with the list, well I have one... I think Deep Purple deserve to be on the list of any top 10 metal.

It's nice to see that JUDAS PRIEST is ahead of PANTERA and Tool. Smile

I'm sorta surprised to see Zeppelin on there. Not to start a pissing match about who is and who isn't 'metal', but if you're limiting your choices to 10, there's probably a better choice, like Deep Purple for instance.

Ah well, what do I care what Rolling Stone thinks anymore? They're too busy prepping for the glorious review of LuLu and how we're all mouth-breathing morons for not recognizing it as the greatest, most important piece of music ever recorded by Lou and his houseband.

Metalguy, it was a readers' poll, not an official RS list. I'm sure THAT would've been a lot different.

Figured the internet played a major part in DT getting there...

But where is AEROSMITH? Wink

If I were to ever make such a list, Sabbath & Priest would have the #1 and #2 slots. Not sure which order though...

My personal list would include the usual suspects Led Zep, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Lou Reed, etc

Just kidding!!!! I am huge Lou Reed fan but his influence on metal extends to the fact Alice stole his entire band for his 'Welcome to My Nightmare' album and tour

It took him over 30 years to get back at Alice by hiring Metallica........

i dont agree with 8-10. The others are pretty spot on for the most part, although I would order them differently.

Its looks less like a poll asking who's the best, and more like a popularity contest.
