Best UK metal band of all time

[Bogmetaller]

Said I'd throw this up because I don't think there has been a poll up here yet? Plus I'm bored outta my fucking mind right now 

[Smythsonian]

Carcass

[Paul keohane]

Carcass

[Carnage]

Iron Maiden of course.

[Scáthach]

Threw my vote in for Maiden, more than 30 years of listening pleasure.

[Juggz]

No Sabbath = No Metal.

[Bogmetaller]

Went for motorhead myself - no one agreeing with me thus far though 

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

No Sabbath = No Metal.

Does that make the model T the best automobile ever?

Nemtheanga had an argument that I found fairly convincing, along the lines of a metal band could only be a metal band if they saw themselves proudly as such. In that spirit, he took Priest to be the first proper metal band. And, out of the UK, I would say the best too... their highest peaks go just that bit further than Maiden's into metal heaven.

Carcass a good addition, probably could add Paradise Lost to the options too.

The Model T introduced mass production but was far from being the first so, no, it was not 

There is much to say for Maiden and Priest too, but Sabbath covered more ground like a creative explosion. Plus, they made tassels acceptable for men to wear.

Napalm Death, hey.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Overall I prefer Sabbath to Priest, I just think Priest were a better "metal band".

[Abandon All Hope]

Bolt Thrower

[The Heretic]

Judas Priest

[Eoin McLove]

Primordial

[Bogmetaller]

Primordial

Nixer???
