Since Black Sabbath is in there, I voted others and will say Led Zeppelin

[Jigglybootch]

Slayer

 

[Erik S.]

A tough call, but at the moment it is Dark Tranquillity.

 

[rsaavedra]

Voted for Tool, but technically speaking I understand they belong to "Progressive Metal", not exactly the same as "Metal". Anyway Tool's my favorite among listed bands by far.

 

[so_cal_forever]

In Flames. The Clayman album is such a work of art. It's too bad they had to go and change.

 

[cosmopragma]

Other: Godsmack.
Disturbed is a close second.

 

[DJ Mauler]

dam you Maiden or Priest.... both are Gods... i went with priest only because i heard there album first... Rocka Rolla Unmastered lol and that just opened the door..

From Cliff Burton on, they've only toured with very good and highly respected bassists (emphasis on toured with, seeing how Bob Rock played bass on the album St. Anger).

Though it's a tough choice, I voted Black Sabbath because I've recently rediscovered Master of Reality. Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Motorhead and Sepultura are all tied for a close second.

YEah I didn't know who the bassist was or if he was good or not so that's hwy I didn't say anything.

i'm not sure whether to laugh or cry at all the non-metal bands in this thread.

 

[DJ Mauler]

i count 6

dio is a maybe but...

 

[Iron_Dreamer]

Other: Rage (not to be confuse with Rage Against the Machine)

 

[Velvet]

Pre-Black Metallica started my passion to music listening, but I'll still go with DT as I almost love each of their albums. Opeth being a close third.

Slipknot and Soad are jokes, the first one being a big one.

It is quite difficult to mention just one favorite band over others (as usual with polls like these), but right now I'm really digging Opeth and they have constantly been at the top few of my favorites. The new album is yet another masterpiece, right there with Still Life and BWP.
