Because after you listen to all the albums on the streaming services, they're always right in their taste, they never forget the classics, and they never let never trendiness rule. I've gone dozens deep on lists and have never disagreed with them on anything.OK, nothing personal, but why do you always pawn off digitaldreamdoors music lists as your own? http://digitaldreamdoor.com/pages/best_metal-art.html

Maybe I'm easy or my age puts me in a good demographic for most post WWII music especially Blues, Jazz, and Soul. They just have a knack. idk how, but they must have a panel of awesome critics or experts or something. If your tastes are similar to mine, try this. Go to Pandora or Spotify and put in your favorite Blues, Jazz, and Soul artists. It's the only thing I listen to when I'm surfing or pc gaming. idk how they do it, but I never hear a song I dislike. Maybe I'm not very selective or weak willed and unable to choose to like or dislike different stuff, but I'm happy.Really?
That's what I used it for, because I like metal, but I don't know much about it and I like the classic stuff. If you ever wanna hear some funny stuff about Slayer fans, check out comic Jim Breuer. I think it's on the Netflix que. There's just a tiny bit posted above.Everything in the OP except for Pantera is a 100% essential listen for everyone with interest in metal. Can't go wrong with that. I'd just replace Pantera with Bathory and it would be the perfect metal 101
Timeghoul
Timeghoul has 6 songs and they're in your top 10
I approve
I'm biased toward small discographies consisting of only high quality material, which is why I had to limit the scope of many of the bands on my list. A lot of metal bands don't know when to quit and they end up sullying their own legacy. Like - who really gives a **** about Slayer beyond South Of Heaven?
Anyway, Timeghoul have a few other tracks besides the 6 you're thinking of. On the 2LP version of the 1992-1994 Discography you get a 4-track demo with 3 songs that weren't included on the CD version (Fever of Grief, Imp, Joust Of The Souls) and a rehearsal session with 3 unnamed/unfinished tracks. Those didn't factor into my ranking but they're worth hearing if you weren't aware of them.
