[zombie no.one]

nice, blue cheer should be 66 (I think)

67) Meshuggah


next is 68

we've got to make 100... seems easier said than done. I'm struggling, and I used to be really into metal

[Sleepyskull]

68. Dokken

69. Quiet Riot

I will admit that I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to metal.

[HappyGilmore]

70.) Il Nino
71.) Korn
72.) Disturbed

And, would Motley Crue be 'metal' or more of a 'rock/hard rock' band?  Cause I'd put them at 73.

Sure, Happy: 73) MOTLEY CRUE

74) KISS

[Umaril The Unfeathered]

These guys had a spot in the top ten of One-Hit-Wonders, but were hugley popular in their own homeland. I got to see them back in 1985, and dare I say that Loudness gave me one of Crazyest Nights of my life.

93:  Candlemass  Love him or hate him, Messiah Marcolin has an unbelievable voice, and this band would be welcome in either Heaven or Hell.  This song is called Tales Of Creation

94: Ronnie James Dio!  I'm suprised none of us have gotten to him yet. Oneof the greatest vocalists  who ever lived. R.I.P. Ronnie.

95: The Rods.  Ronnie's cousin Dave "Rock" Feinstein's outfit from Cortland NY. Their drummer, Carl Canedy, discovered Anthrax in a club in upstate NY back in the day (or so was said.)  This one's called "Rockin And Rollin' Again."

96: Death Angel.  Thash simply cannot be complete w\o these Filipino rockers based in San Francisco, CA.

97: Wrath, another Bay Area thrash outfit.  Anyone remember Insane Society?
