Aaaaand

1. HELL'S BELLS

I have to admit I am bit surprised that this won...It's a great song (better than Highway To Hell I'd say) but I didn't think it was this popular.

Equally (or even more so) surprised about the fact that Dirty Deeds was completely left out.

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

Hells Bells is a top 5 AC/DC song for me so I'm glad it won. But yes, Dirty Deeds not making the ten is a shocker!



I got 7 correct... which is pretty good for me.

[Charger]

7 for me too...must be a record.


So any guesses on the top 3 bands?


Maiden and Metallica will fight for #1 I am sure...but #3? Led Zeppelin? I hope not but it is a possibility.

[Jack the Stripper]

I think I got 8 right.

Missed TNT and Touch Too Much opting instead for Shoot To Thrill and Dirty Deeds which like you's am surprised didn't make the cut.

[Charger]

You did indeed Jack! Well done! That's an all time record I think.

[Zzzptm]

^ Don't mess with the Oz Ozzy!

[Charger]

Oh god...another gigantic piece of shit land on top 3!!! This is sad....really sad.

#3.
RAMMSTEIN

[Jack the Stripper]

I love Rammstein   

[Charger]

I love Rammstein   

Really? That surprises me a bit.

I find them rather horrible formulatic pop"metal" crap who use theatrics and antics to get ahead as their music isn't good enough.

Well feel free to make predictions bud! I only know tracks from their Mutter album which I do enjoy somewhat but that is their last metal album.

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

Not a group I'm familiar with.

So that leaves Iron Maiden and Metallica to fight it out for No. 1 or do we have another surprise in store?

[Jack the Stripper]

They are far from pop metal. Ghost is pop metal. I'd describe Rammstein as heavy industrial/dark electro. I just found them a breath of fresh air to what was happening in the mid/late 90's. Same as I found SOAD a breath of fresh air as well.

Their albums have been hit & miss since the first two but I really liked their latest one. Favourite album of 2019 for me.

I'll have to think about this one though....

[Typhon]

Industrial, pop, dark, doom, black, electro, groove, pantomime, stampeding cattle!

   I think you guys make up these music categories out of thin air.

Well yeah...Ghost most certainly is. But I also find Rammsteins later stuff much more radio friendly poppier softer melodies and less guitar based than lets say Mutter was.

But ofcourse they've moved towards the mainstream stuff as it works for them and they've become bigger and bigger (for reasons I do not understand) every year and with every more commercial sounding album. Electro-industrial popmetal might be pretty close yeah.

Sadly no...there really are dozens of different types of metal categories out there...which is ridiculous that's for sure!

Here's a pretty comprehensive list although I think it's missing a few too:

Hey, thanks for the info.  I believe I am going to check out some Cello Metal.     Coincidentally, it recommended a band from Finland, Apocalyptica.

Yeah...they're the forerunners in that...probably the only "bigger" band doing it...they started their career off doing Metallica covers with only 4 cellos.
