The Top Ten Bands Of The Decade!

[Yautja]

.........Metal Continues To Rule Supreme

Perfection is difficult to find when you sift through 10 years of bands’ antics, but some valiant musicians have managed to come very close to “living the dream.” Of course, that could translate to mean everything from impressive record sales to critical acclaim to simply not sucking. We felt that the trusted UG community would be the best judge of which groups deserved to be recognized for making the music world a better place, and you did not disappoint in our Top 10 Bands Of The Decade poll. We see more than a few of the usual suspects appearing, but you can’t knock voters for their ability to be consistent.

What sticks out like a beautiful sore thumb is that at least half of the Top 10 were already going strong during the 1990’s. Long story short: It seems that any up-and-coming bands in the next decade should bring their “A” game because we don’t think the Foo Fighters are going anywhere.

And in a striking victory for headbangers everywhere (and we’re including all of you who blazed the trail back in 1980, too), Metallica has once again been declared the most powerful metal band in the world. Now that’s what we call the epitome of consistency.

DREAM THEATER @ #7
METALLICA @ 1

I disagree with most of those bands listed... Metallica hasn't been good for way over a decade, so wtf?

Just a suggestion, but you should have the thread title changed to say TOP 10 METAL BANDS OF THE DECADE.

Merry Christmas!

i heard on the radio that Linkin Park was the band of the Decade. The women on there didn't agree. Think she said it was based off of sales.

I dunno. I wouldn't consider many of those bands to be metal. I tend to shy away from these year-end lists anyway. The only one who is always right is me.

+1. Music lists, movie lists, equipment lists are all subjective. Personal choices is what they are..so by default, we're all right in our selections!

How is Metallica no. 1 with just 2 CD's in the decade?? These lists ARE based on sales. Sad...

I hope you meant most. For the most part that's a mainstream (radio friendly) "metal"/rock list at best. And as John has eluded to it already, it is very subjective which most of these type of lists tend to be anyway.
