They might as well just have made it all Black Sabbath.

 

[Astrum]

This list is bullshit, of course. Fucking bullshit. Hate to see it.

What else do you expect?

 

[Vossyrus]

What?!!! no Linkin Park?! no Limp Bizkit??!! no Papa Roach???!!! I'm certainly disappointed...

To sum up that list: Top 40 Mainstream Rock/Metal singles that VH1 has heard of.

 

[Jean-Pierre]

Apparently, You've Got Another Thing Comin' is the best Judas Priest song...

 

[Thoth-Amon]

this is of course a predictable list... some good songs... some shit... some things that frankly aren't even metal... could have been way better

 

[Jreg]

The most amusing part is Anthrax and Public Enemy ranking higher than Anthrax.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

ha, half of those arent even metal.

what a joke of a list.

• 36. "Wait and Bleed" - Slipknot

lol^

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Apparently, You've Got Another Thing Comin' is the best Judas Priest song...

 

[Seditious]

adorable

 

[Zephyrus]

Apparently, You've Got Another Thing Comin' is the best Judas Priest song...

No wonder, it's the only one I ever hear on the radio.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

No wonder, it's the only one I ever hear on the radio.

see... VH1 does know what they are talking about

 

[Jean-Pierre]

The most amusing part is Anthrax and Public Enemy ranking higher than Anthrax.

I actually think it's better than anything else Anthrax did.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Public Enemy > Anthrax

 

[Astrum]

Anthrax is awful. "Caught in a Mosh" is one of the worst peices of shit I have ever heard.

 

[Triton]

Woah what's with the SOAD and Slipknot...I thought this list would have real metal, not alt. and nu-metal...Meh I don't agree with any of the songs' rankings in that list (a lot shouldn't even be on the list)...

 

[thepeng]

kiss is barely music, let alone metal.

 

[Wizo]

Too much mainstream, where's the respect for the influential underground bands?

 

[skeptik]

There IS no underground on VH1.
