Although both of those bands have thier place, I think another band should be considered before any other is inducted.......That band is Pantera.There is no dispute. This is a fact.
I put Pantera in the "thrash" catagory. They aren't "metal". Megadeth, Exodus... shit like that is Metal.
Whatabout those people that say "trash metal" and not "thrash metal"
Pantera weren't really thrash, not in the original meaning of the term...it was bands like Hirax, DRI and those bands that mixed hardcore punk and heavy metal that were the original Thrash bands. Bands like Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer, Megadeth were speed metal but then the magazines started to call these bands Thrash. Pantera got thrown into this genre... Saying Pantera aren't metal is like saying Elton John isn't gay...
