Whats missing according to Crash, AJ and Producer X
CRASH: Not enough Tool on this list. No one ever gives The Cult enough credit and I never expect anyone to ever mention Monster Magnet but Powertrip is one of my favorite metal songs ever.
PRODUCER X: "WHY IS STEEL PANTER NOT ON THIS LIST DEATH TO ALL BUTT METAL!!!!
But when we talk about misses for Metal LETS NOT SLEEP ON NICKELBACK-Animals it slaps"
AJ: I’m surprised at the lack of representation not only from Pantera, but from artists that emerged in the 90s and beyond. Despite Pantera’s ‘Walk’ making the cut at 29, there are numerous cuts from that bands that make a case to be placed within the top 100, as do cuts from Five Finger Death Punch, Slipknot, Disturbed and Avenged Sevenfold.
