Cool
A poll voted for by aging rockers, actual metallers and clueless parent hating middle class door slamming spoiled little shiteeeeees in a 1:1:2 ratio. Roughly.
time are definitely changing..
no megadeth...no anthrax....no sepultura.....no real list..... :lol:
times are not changing, the NME doesn't know metal and they never have, this should have never had any publicity. By having BMTH and avenged sevenfold in the top 20 I imagine they're current readership is 14-20 years old. With the presence of acdc, gnr, ratm in a 'metal' list, they're either trying to unify metal with classic rock through laziness so they don't have to write about it too much or their readership is seriously intellectually challenged. I imagine it's a bit of both.
Youre overcomplcating things.
NME reader buys magazine that advertises poll for best metal albums. Reader is nominally a sensible metal fan and votes for metallica.
NME readers dad finds magazine, votes for ACDC
NME readers son find magazine, vote for Avenged sevenfold.
Metal Dad tells his dad "thats great but its not metal", his dad shrugs, says "sounds like metal to me". Metal dad tells his son "Thats metal, I suppose, but its $%&#ing shite" and he should get some proper metal herataige. Son yells that he hates his dad, slams the door, runs to his room and whines on facebook to all his mates, telling them to vote for their favourite bands, which are assuredly shite, as seen in the poll. One of said friends is not otherwise occupied complaining about his parents/school/ineptitude with girls, slamming doors or bemoaning the injustices and suffering of middle class suburban life to vote.
Hence the approximately 1:1:2 ratio of actually good metal to good but not metal to metal but anything but good.
Thats exactly how it happened.
But with slightly different bands each time.
Believe.
