Metallica's cover of Green Hell?

no..

Ugly Kid Joe's cover of Cat's in the Cradle? okay, j/k

Arab Strap's version of You Shook Me All Night Long or 1000 Homo DJs' version of Supernaut.

Slayer - Guilty of Being White (psyche)

You'd better hurry up and start posting these, because there's a coronal mass ejection headed for Earth today: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/space/7923069/Nasa-scientists-braced-for-solar-tsunami-to-hit-earth.html

strangely enough, none of these.

Sore Throat - I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing

btw bill magill says he knows what will be #1. So everyone should post what they think the #10 will be now, so we can see who is closest!

It's Bring the Noize, isn't it?

I said an Important band ;)

Anthrax isn't important? b'gosh, why are you even running this poll? ;)

Celtic Frost - Mexican Radio (1987) (319 Points, 10 votes)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGpdtgeZbgk

I remember someone mentioning this in the noms thread. Time to hear it, I guess.

Damn, thought it would be Motley Crue's "Anarchy in the UK."

As a fan of the Wall of Voodoo original, and never having been a fan of Celtic Frost, this is about as bad as I imagined it might be.

Would never have guessed this would have got that many votes.

I'm going to guess now that at least one of my top ten, and specifically my #4, will not make this run down.

Celtic Frost covered a LOT of styles and influenced lots of genres(thrash/death/black/doom/avant garde metal). You cant really pigeon hole them. Cold Lake fucking sucks though.

go on guys, post your top 10 guesses

This early? That's usually a top 20 kind of thing.

what do you think are certs to be in the running then?

Wow. I love Celtic Frost and I can get behind Mexican Radio too. That was pretty bad. At least it wasn't grebo, though.

xp I suspect "Number of the Beast" will probably be in the top 10, but that's just a guess.

Sepultura - Territory (1993) (320 Points, 10 votes)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_WHGV5bejk&feature=avmsc2

lotsa ties! considering the points allotment, I wouldn't have expected more than one or two.

there's 4 tracks on this point mark, but these 2 have less votes.

but It's really bizarre that they got the same points. It was the last few ballots that did it too.

you a sepultura fan?

Barely. They were just reaching their prime about the same time I was moving away from metal metal.

the next track is by a band already posted.

If it's Witchfinder General, I'll eat my shoe.

(They're good, but I still think they were lucky to even have one track break the 100).

the song is an alltime classic

The one coming up, or "Witchfinder General"?

the one coming up
it's from the 80s... JF's favourite decade.

hooray!

WHERE ARE ALL THE BRITISHES WHO SHOULD BE COMMENTING RIGHT NOW? It's not even 8am where I am, and I'm living up to my end of the bargain.

but it's not gonna be well known outside of metal circles..

I think the country who invented it is lacking in fans, even on ILX
(they were here earlier)

Quiet Riot?

Celtic Frost - I Wont Dance (1987) (320 Points, 10 votes)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoyqxUClNW0

I am trying to keep up, and post, on a train with a piss poor signal.

Hmm, I'd have preferred another Witchfinder General track after all.

This is interesting. I think this means that there will be some even higher ranked CF to come. Still, that's a much better track than "Mexican Radio".

ok...next?

For such a highly rated band, with 10 voters, some people seem to dislike Celtic Frost. Never trust hair metal fans obviously ;)

I know I yelled loudest about hair metal, but I honestly do like other kinds of metal, etc. just as much. Celtic Frost, though...no way.

Slayer - War Ensemble (1990) (320 Points, 12 votes)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc9bMDsK95U&feature=avmsc2

YES! I VOTED FOR THIS ^

a happy johnny fever at last :)

I can honestly say I like all of these so far.
