What are the greatest metal and rock bands?

Well for metal here’s my top 5, all of them have the kind of the songs you’re looking for..

1 Iron Maiden 2 Balck Sabbath 3 Judas Priest 4 Metallica 5 Slayer

These are some of my favorite bands. If you haven’t checked them out then you should because they’re all really kicka*s. They’re of the rock/metal/screamo/emo genres -

As I Lay Dying Aiden Slipknot Bullet For My Valentine All That Remains From First To Last The Used Hawthorne Heights Tokio Hotel Avenged Sevenfold Cradle Of Filth Norther Modern Day Escape I Am Ghost Underoath Red Static-X HIM William Control Burn Halo System Of A Down Marilyn Manson Boys Like Girls Linkin Park AFI Amber Pacific The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus Three Days Grace Mudvayne Lamb Of God Seether Godsmack Stone Sour Papa Roach Hellyeah Flyleaf Madina Lake Apocolyptica Disturbed Buckcherry Korn Parkway Drive Eighteen Visions Shinedown Puddle Of Mudd Saliva Drowning Pool Kittie

If you want a bigger list, let me know and I’ll send you one.

…Limp Bizkit?! No, no, NO. Limp Bizkit should never be allowed anywhere near a ‘’greatest metal and rock bands’’ list.

But yeah… depends what kind of metal and rock you’re looking for…

I would have to say that the best bands are the ones that were pioneers; ones that not only made great music but also influenced other bands.

With this criteria I’d say that the best metal bands were:

Black Sabbath Judas Preist Iron Maiden Anthrax Slayer Metalica

The greats Rock bands would be:

Bill Haley & His Comets Elvis Roy Orbison Beatles Rolling Stones Jimi Hendrix Cream David Bowie Doors

All depending what kinda metal and rock you want to here…death metal, acid metal, classic rock, hard rock…hmmm since a lot of people like these bands(not me I dont like radio rock) heres a few bands people will like nickleback, hinder, buckcherry…
