Even more than punk-which eschewed the mainstream while mostly remaining hook-based-metal has turned to walls of noise, ambient drift, screaming and an aesthetic that is more about hearing loss than conventional pop pleasures.
So, why are metal lists so consistently awful? I think the problem is that metal is a music genre that, after flirting with some hits early on, moved quickly to a kind of low-brow avant garde experimentation. Weak as it is, it includes a number of worthy seminal bands like Sun O))), Entombed, Mayhem, Emperor, Diamond Head, Bathory, the Melvins and Eyehategod along with ridiculous selections like Slipknot, Queensrÿche, the Deftones and Twisted Sister. Overall, in fact, Rolling Stone's list is one of the better ones on the web. They also often feature fairly popular but indifferent acts like Opeth or High on Fire and very popular but not really metal acts like Led Zeppelin or Van Halen (though Zeppelin and Van Halen are at least actually great bands.) Like the RS list, most things I found list multiple albums by individual bands, and so end up with a ton of albums by worthy groups like Black Sabbath, Metallica, and Slayer, as well as by mediocrities like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Megadeth. What's really odd about the Rolling Stone list, though, is that it's pretty representative of the other best of metal lists you'll find if you Google.
I could go into tedious detail about the list's failings, but it's probably summed up by pointing out that the list includes albums by Evanescence, Korn, Motley Crue, Alice in Chains, and Marilyn Manson, bands that are (a) not metal and (b) not the best of anything. So, as metalheads may have guessed, this list was inspired in large part because both Bert and I were horrified (but not in a good metal way) by the Rolling Stone list of 100 greatest albums.
