I swear this type of thread should be in fast threads. We're getting too many of them here.
Agalloch is god tier
[editline]9th February 2011[/editline]
also Death is Classic tier.
I don't like how you some of you are shoving ALL core into shit.
There are some great -core bands, but yes they're covered up by generic clones, you just have to look.
Why don't you bring some up then?

I'm sorry, but I'd have to disagree with a lot of your choices.
CC and EHG being classics is debatable; I personally wouldn't put them there.
As to the god tier, I can't really say anything for Isis or Kyuss, but I personally believe EW and Sleep should move down to Just-Below-God. Sunn O))) can kick down there, though I'd almost put them in just the "Good" tier. As to The Faceless and Crowbar, I'd also kick them down to "Good."
Pretty much your entire "Just below God" I disagree with. Honestly, the only band I think that deserves to really be there is Tripytkon; everything else I'd throw under a lower tier (I won't say which though, because I dislike all those other bands :v:).
Everything else is debatable, but I won't vocally disagree with any of them.
All, of course, in my own opinion.

They used to have to.
We'd get banned for making these threads in the Music section, with the reason "Fast Threads."
I honestly don't know why we stopped doing that. I wish the mods would start banning for it again, though.

Between The Buried and Me (metalcore or not, these guys are absolute musical geniuses. Great technically, songwriting is genuinely some of the best I've heard. Their ability to change through lots of genres and still keep it sounding great and fluid is fucking fantastic. Definitely the most progressive band in the genre)
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLEAztt6jEc[/media]
Favourite song from my favourite album, Colors
[b]Good tier[/b]Genghis Tron, cybergrind/mathcore
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMJWgInNEfQ[/media]
[b]Good tier[/b]The Number Twelve Looks Like You, experimental mathcore/screamo (as in real screamo)

[b]Just-below-god-but-above-good-tier[/b]HORSE The Band metalcore with 8-bit style video game keyboards, self dubbed nintendocore
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tISuzGePzow[/media]
[b]good tier[/b]
I'm trying to stay away from arguably generic bands that I just happen to like, but
Parkway Drive- you could argue they're a generic metalcore band but I definitely think that although they follow a similar path they've definitely got their own thing going which sounds good.
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNvOVey0MSs[/media]
in personal opinion I don't quite like The Locust enough to put them above good but I do think that they have deserved this title.
[b]Just-below-god-but-above-good-tier[/b]The Locust. Impossible to sum up with one song but whatever. Not gonna post a wall of videos because 1 I can't be bothered, and 2 no one will listen to them all (even if they're all about a minute long). Really weird synth heavy noise/math/grind/slowly-steal-your-sanity-core. They cover lots of weird stuff and there's not really one genre they fit into.

I think you forgot to mention the tiers, Mikey? :v:
Well actually I was just posting them to show that guy that good -core exists
But on it
I nominate Gwar for god tier, they're my favorite metal band not being mentioned yet :derp:
[QUOTE=mikeyt493;27970422][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNvOVey0MSs[/media][/QUOTE]
Damn, that's sick. I peeped their latest album and it sounded so boring.
Classics Tier: Metallica (don't deny it), Pantera, Dio
God Tier: Porcupine Tree, Meshuggah
Just below God but above good tier: Annihilator, Nevermore, Overkill
Good Tier: Black Label Society, Ensiferum, Gama Bomb, Machine Head, Racer X
Classics Tier: Pantera, Metallica
God Tier: Lamb of God, Meshuggah, Keith Merrow
Good Tier: Chimaira, Devildriver, Testament
Average Tier: Megadeth, Disturbed, Eluveitie, Insomnium, Children of Bodom
Insomnium in Average Tier? :saddowns:
They are Gods
although I wouldn't put them on God Tier (God tier should be reserved for bands that truly pioneered or really pushed boundaries or something- If it were me I would shove Insomnium in God Tier because I love them but I don't think they've actually done enough for music to deserve a place in got tier, so they get the next best)
as much as i like insomnium there isn't really anything special about them imo

Well, yeah. It's all in my opinion as well. Whole thread is. :v:
I put EHG and CC as classics because they're more classics to their own respective subgenres. Maybe move CC down to God and replace with Death.
Electric Wizard is just the shit and fuck you. :v: Sleep maybe, but [I]Dopesmoker[/I] kinda seals the deal for me. Hour long Stoner Metal epic about traveling hashish caravan? Sounds Godly to me. Most bands I put in the God tier are for their avante garde-ness. I think the best thing a Metal band could possibly do is rewrite the rules and have their own original sound. Crowbar started that hardcore-influenced sludge. The Faceless should probably go down one though.
Dude. Mudvayne and System of a Down's first albums are extremely admirable for when they came out, and for what they are. I debated putting TAS down one, so yeah.

In Flames, Dark Tranquillity and At The Gates would be God Tier.
They pioneered one of the best musical genres.
Insomnium just took influence but makes better music than them.
Manowar deserves it's own tier above the rest of these posers.
Manowar are pretty boring
good tier: Anthrax
[QUOTE=mikeyt493;27986518]Manowar are pretty boring[/QUOTE]
lol slipknot is gimmiky because of their mask, but manowar completely survives on their music alone to give them game and fortune.
