Not a bad little list :) I was initialy hoping to see some slightly more obscure bands listed here, but I can see a lot of good ones in your honorable mentions list. I like seeing some love for Judas Priest <3 One of my favorites! Especially Painkiller, which is one of my all time favorite songs.

Some others not on your list that I enjoy are

King Diamond (Classic/Prog metal with falsetto vox), Been going since the 80's and still kicking after a quad bypass!

Exodus - (Thrash) The fifth band in "The Big Four" xD my favorite of the classic thrashers.

GWAR - (Performance/thrash metal) Often thought of as simply a 'joke-band,' but for the past 15 years they've been putting out fantastic, brutal heavy metal. Now, if only the members would stop dying...

Kreator - (German Thrash) I'm mostly into their stuff post 2000

3 Inches of Blood - (falsetto Thrash/melodic) First two records were great, haven;t dug them as much since they lost their second singer.

Children of Bodom - (European melodic thrash) One of the most consistent bands I've ever listened to

Burden - (Doom/Death Metal) Actually a band my buddy is in, I dig em'

Voivod - (Prog Metal/Rock) Lots of different sounds throughout their career, My favorite record is Phobos.

Black Sabbath with Dio - I just like their sound more, and I think Dio was a phenomenal vocalist

Ghoul - (Performance/Thrash/Death) - Another one that gets written off as a 'joke band' They've got some solid old school thrash

Hatriot - (New Thrash) The Singer from Exodus and his kids! Heroes of Origin is one of my favorite albums of all time.

I could go on, but I'll stop myself. Nice job on the list, and getting a good discussion on Metal started :D
