Props for putting 2 Meshuggah songs on here. The amount of bands that popped up in the late 2000s and in througout the 2010s that were influenced by them is incredible. It's absurd how far ahead of their time they were.

Loudwire: does a shit ton of slipknot videos
Also Loudwire: doesn’t put slipknot in this ranking

[Dannycantrel]

Blood and thunder by Mastodon, Toxicity by System Of A Down, Duality by Slipknot, Flying Whales by Gojira, Down With the sickness by

[lordstinson]

As much as I like Vicarious, I would have to say that Right In Two should've taken that spot instead. It's really hard to comprehend how underrated that song is.

[THESLOWDEATHHOOKS]

going to a tool concert in 2001 must have been absolutely amazing ... no cellphones

[sheldoncooper]

Can i just say that Mikael Akerfeldt is a musical genius

2008 should have been Shogun imo, that song is literally a masterpiece

My personal list:
2000 - Electric Wizard - Funeralopolis.

2002 - Agalloch - In the Shadow of Our Pale Companion.
