Number 10
Anthrax
Anthrax
is considered one of the big four thrash metal bands of the eighties.
For me, it was a toss-up between these guys and Pantera, but if you look
at total impact and longevity, I think Anthrax takes the cake.
Anthrax consistently pushed the envelope, experimenting with different sounds and not being afraid to add humour and silliness to their music. They've appeared on popular TV shows such as, Married with Children and movies such as, Calendar Girls.
Anthrax formed in 1981 and released their first album in 1984. After a few successful thrash metal albums, Anthrax helped pave the way for future rap-metal fusions when they recorded an album with Public Enemy. Afterward, they fired head singer Joey Belladonna, but later reunited after their fans rebelled at the switch.
There's no denying that Anthrax is a thrash metal pioneer. They helped bring thrash metal into the spotlight, and their fearless flair for trying new things is legendary.
They're also one of my favourite thrash metal bands. They have a unique sound and their lyrics are either funny or complex and serious. My personal favourite album isPersistence of Time. I remember owning the t-shirt in high school, which had "POT" written on the front. The school wasn't too impressed, and I was sent home multiple times for it...which I was fine with. If I needed a day off school, that shirt always came in handy.

Number 9
Sepultura
Sepultura
is an internationally successful band. They've created multiple
platinum and gold records, and have sold over fifteen million records
worldwide. They hail from Brazil, and are easily the most successful
metal band to come out of that country.
Sepulltura formed in 1984 and proceeded to take the metal world by storm. Their music is hard core, and can be described as a mix of Slayer and death metal with a tribal beat that sounds like nothing else you've ever heard.
I'm not a huge fan of Sepultura, but there's little doubt in my mind that they helped pave the way for what is now described as nu-metal. They were very successful, and on my tours through cyberspace, I saw their name mentioned time and again by metal heads everywhere.
Sepultura may not be one of my favourite metal bands, but they still belong on this list in my opinion. They've been around since the mid-eighties and are still playing their brand of metal music today.
You win metal heads - Sepultura has made it to the number nine spot on my list of best metal bands.
