At the moment, I’m heavily into John Bush era Anthrax. _Crush_ really gets my engine running and my head banging. 🙂 ---

Master of Puppets, Metallica. In fact, I love that album as a whole. ---

OK, this probably doesn’t count, but Tracey Bonham’s Mother, Mother seems appropriate for the day. And I usually throw my voice out trying to sing along. So it’s not metal, but Chick Rock. And if that doesn’t count, a kindly doper suggested that I download Bikini Kill’s Rebel Girl, which rocks pretty hardcore. Yea for chick rock!!! ---

With **heembo**. Also Prong: Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck. Speaking of necks, I may be sticking mine out here, but I’m really looking forward to TOOL’s new release on May 15. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by heembo \* > \*\ ***Slayer’s** entire _South of Heaven_ album…Just thinking about it gets me all pumped up! \*\* This is the greatest metal album of all time, IMHO. Slayer is playing around me with Pantera later this summer and I cannot wait. Back on topic, I’ve been listening to Queensryche’s Operation:Mindcrime CD alot lately. ---

I’ll second Nirvana and Guns & Roses…plus early Metallica,Megadeth and Pantera. And for the hair metal cravings Def Leppard and Poison. ---

Pantera. Definitely Pantera. _“Come and be with me, Live my twisted dream. Pro devoted pledge, Time for Primal Concrete Sledge…”_ Great song. Great album. Great group. 'Nuff said. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by eunoia \* > **Prong: Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck** Excellent headbang song! Along the same lines: “Slave New World” by Sepultura. And Tool, don’t get me started on Tool. The chorus to “Aenema” is to die for. Some other suggestions: Iron Maidens entire oeuvre, really. But “Man On The Edge” and “Can I Play With Madness” do stick out somewhat. Also, there are a lot of somewhat slower headbanging tunes I like. The one that gets to me every time is Savatage’s “Chance”. ---

The entire Spit album by Kittie. 46&2 by Tool (2 more days until the new album will be mine!!!) Most songs of the Sehnsucht and Mutter albums by Rammstein ---

Everyone loves this band. I just don’t get them. I mean their music is OK, but I just don’t understand all the hype. Appearently its just me, cause everyone else loves that band. ---

Headbanging? Don’t mind i fI do… I usually listen to Rammstein, Early Korn, Deftones, Soulfly, or Godsmack. Funny thing about Tool, I really like their work, but yet I’ve never actually picked up any of their CD’s. I keep meaning to, but when ever I get the chance, I forget and I usually get something else. I may just pick up the new album though, when it comes out. ---

Megadeth – “Rust In Peace” album The most wailing, blistering, pure guitar work I’ve ever heard. Although I do have to program out “Dawn Patrol.” ---

Iron Maiden - Anything off the too good to be true ‘Best of the Beast’ (Dianno and Dickinson eras, anyway), but for the moment, ‘Where Eagles Dare’. Kreator - Some Pain Will Last (If anyone’s seen their live in Berlin video, you’ll know what I mean). Misfits - Children In Heat And Coldfire, thanks for mentioning Savatage, so I’ll throw in the old favourites ‘Hall of the Mountain King’ and ‘Gutter Ballet’. HenrySpencer ---

I find myself alternating between South of Heaven and Fear of the Dark, depending on mood. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/woohoo-when-i-feel-heavy-metal/65323.md?page=2)
