Cheers

this chart according to whom ?

Olive Oil, healthy for the brain, and will lubricate my hearing to help pass out Metallica, from the other ear.

Salam

That's "Heavy Metal", Happy. Maybe they should add some oil?

Metallica is a drill into my brain. I cannot understand a word from the screaming.

Salam

Anthrax......maybe just outside the top 10

Led Zep not metal - they practically invented it!!!!!

Ozzy0253 - have you ever listened to any Led Zep????

cheers,

paul

1. Metallica

2. Guns & Roses

3. Bullet for my Valentine

4. Nirvana

5. Korn

i simply don't like the mask idea. haha! ;o)

cheers,

paul

Slipknot is crap,gay???ha damn man.u must be jokin.and ure talking abt BFMV????they aint gay???ha ha .

I love the Dire Straits video "Money for Nothing"

_____________________________________________________

"Diplomacy is the art of saying 'Nice doggie' until you can find a rock - Will Rogers"

calling urself a saint dosent make u one..as for Metallica, Judas Priest, Slayer, AC DC I like them but they dont come under my top 10.

Well corrected..

dire strait is supposed to be rock??right??

ozzy is in number 11.these were the top 10..from ur lot Uriah Heep is my fav.

Great minds think alike..:o)

I wonder if Dire Straights can be labeled as Heavy Metal

With a name like Ozzy, you forgot the best of all - Black Sabbath....War Pigs...

and what about ..

AC/DC

Blue Oyster Cult

Deep Purple

Led Zeppelin

Uriah Heep

Shame on you!!! How can you make this an alltime list and there is no Metallica, Judas Priest, Slayer, AC DC,.... and your nick is Ozzy and you havent listed Black Sabbath!!! The only real alltimers you got were Iron Maiden and Megadeth.

I love Pantera but cant really say they are an alltime best.
