All of this has to be b8

>slayer
Their first two albums were great. Third was pretty good. After that, shit

>Cannibal Corpse
Eaten back to life was pretty good, but over all they're not that great

>Necrophagist
Great band, but not the band of the decade

I'd say Venom was far more influential of an 80's band than Slayer.

This. Slayer's influence is hugely exaggerated

Just one band? It's ~~staggeringly difficult~~ impossible to list exactly one band, but we can safely say Pantera singlehandedly defined the '90s for better or worse.

For worse. They fell into the chuga-chuga style that the Deftones had been popularizing and exerted huge influence over all the emerging mallcore bands.

I get a lot of shit for this but I think grunge played a role in it

You don't think it as hardcore, like where the "core" came from?

Pantera gave inspiration for many a Nu-Metal and Metalcore band, but they're hardly alone. "Grunge" ceased to be relevant by 1996.

Hip-Hop, Funk Metal and Groove Metal all played their respective part in forging Nu-Metal. That genre can be boiled down to the following bands either directly responsible for its genesis or influential-but-not-necessarily-Nu-Metal: Pantera, Prong, Helmet, '90s Sepultura/Soulfly, Mr. Bungle, Living Colour, Fishbone, Deftones, Body Count, 24-7 Spyz, Mordred, RATM, L.A.P.D., Korn, Faith No More, White Zombie, Infectious Grooves, Mushroomhead, Biohazard, Powerman 5000, Slipknot and several others who escape me.

If you really wanna stretch it, you can include Ripper Owens-era Judas Priest.

We can also include Skinlab (who suck heavily) and Machine Head (who don't suck as much, but are still lame).

I completely agree, if anything, grunge played a bigger role, even bigger than Pantera.

They're not my favorite, but come on dude. I love Slayer, but they were not the definitive metal band of the 80s.

Slayer influenced as many Extreme Metal bands as Venom did, but in terms of sales, Metallica outsold every Metal band.

I say they're neck and neck; Metallica for sales, Slayer for influence.

Let's be honest, the 80s was Metallica. Though their legacy is tarnished there's no denying their importance. Not the best, but clearly the definitive, that's just how it is.

As great as Megadeth was, they weren't the band of the 80s nor 90s. And they blow asshole now.

No, SWLAYER!!!!111111 wrote a little bit of great early material, and rode off the coat tails of their own initial talent to sell boring ass albums to teenage edgemasters.

I would consider slayer (or any big 4 band) to be waaaay less important than Testament or Exodus, sales be damned. The Big 4 are just normalfag bands of choice

WHY

Edgy Faggot 04/02/15 (Thu) 14:15:44 No.3814

>>3810
Because Metallica was the band of the 80s more so than Maiden . It's not about favorites, or bands that were better, it's about bands that defined that decade.

Edgy Faggot 04/02/15 (Thu) 15:10:08 No.3815

>>3814
This. Iron Maiden may have been very influential, but they weren't the single most influential band of that decade.

And while we're at it, Cronos argued Venom influenced more bands than Maiden did. He might have a point considering all Extreme Metal attests to this.

Edgy Faggot 04/03/15 (Fri) 18:15:32 No.3834

>>3815
I'd have to agree with Cronos on that point. Also, I think that Venom is way better than Iron Maiden, as much as I like Maiden, it just doesn't have the riffs and solos that grab you by the balls and makes you headbang, like Venom does.
