Top Metal Songs of 2009

1. Is this the best of 2009? Really? I get Megadeth and Devil Driver but the rest...are you joking? Just because something is popular does not mean that it is good or that it is metal. Not to say that ALL of the other bands listed not metal or good but they are not the "Best of 2009". Anyway, you get my point. You got it before I made it, stop spoon feeding the public and telling them they like it.

2. Megadeth and Dethklok are the only good bands on that list. Every songle band on that list is a different type of metal for one thing. I wouldn't really classify Five Finger Death Punch or Mudvayne as metal. Slayer just needs to let it go, I kind of have to giggle at Johnny Cash as Dez Fafara's influence, and the majority of them should not be on any 'Best of' list. Sad.

3. Where is Slipknot and Skinlab?

4. This list aint too bad. I just cant dig Five Finger Death Punch for some reason, Alice In Chains would have been a better choice (they are more hard rock than metal, but so is 5FDP). And I just dont like that new Hatebreed song for some reason. And lastly, there shoulda been some Slipknot on here!

8. i honestly think that they did a pretty good job with this list. the only problem i have is that lamb of god should have higher up and a different track then fake messiah. maybe reclamtion? and whoever is saying that slipknot should be on this list is fuckin retarded. i hav nothing against slipknot its just that they are not metal. for a top ten metal list of 2009, good job AOL

9. I like that they picked songs from all different genre's of metal. Just because you don't agree with them doesn't mean it's wrong. Stop complaining and make your own list of top metal songs of 2009.

11. all of these bands are metal to me! i'm not one for categorizing music so harshly but i can headbang and mosh to all of these bands and that sounds like metal to me. my only question is what about shadows fall? you could've picked a couple of songs off that album!props for the dethklok and 5fdp though.

13. Way to pick a generic deathcore list with a couple of thrash tracks thrown in to please the masses.

Get a bit of variety folks. Where's the Mastodon, Blut Aus Nord, Drudkh, Destroyer 666, Ihsahn, Burzum, Amesoeurs, Absu, Cobalt, or any of the plenty of other awesome releases of 2009.

15. well some of the songs i could see being on this list like dethklok, megadeth, or devildriver, but honestly like someone else said in the somments where is slipknot? And theres others as well that deserve to be in that list as well. Hell i didnt even know about any of the songs that were on that list in the first place besides dethklok and megadeth, and lamb of god. So if they were so great, than how come i didnt even here of them? and its now 2010 and i still never heard them until i just read this list. Not saying that there bad bands or anything but there were better songs than some on the list. I'm goin to check some of these out anyway^^

16. You know, I thought, after reading this list, that I'd scroll down and read the hate comments, unanimously DEMANDING THE GALLOWS for the author of this list, for the reason that this list DEFIES the very HEART AND SPIRIT of TRUE METAL...but what I saw truly would have broken my heart if I had one. I would have cried if I were capable of any emotion save UNBRIDLED RAGE!
What is this? Dethklok, Hatebreed, Throwdown, and Five Finger Death Punch dominate the list? Hell: Mudvayne and Rammstein aren't even Metal bands! Sure, I understand Slayer--and definitely Megadeth--having their places on this list (maybe even Lamb of God, sure! I'll be accepting!), but for Metal's sake, why this disgrace?
And lastly--but GREATEST of all--while this travesty RAPES the TIMELESS GLORY out of all that is TRULY METAL, you "loyal metalheads" only ask for more Slipknot. I can hardly believe my now bleeding eyes!
For a post-final note, please know that Slipknot is (heh-heh) KNOT--that is, CLOSE BUT NO CIGAR--Metal. A song of theirs will begin and sound like a Death Metal song, but then shift, leaving you realizing, "Oh. It's just Hard Rock. Just like StoneSour, but with a little more juice in the beat."
Repent, all of you, before you BURN!
