:-D

Planet Caravan, as in the song by Black Sabbath? :S

yeah but Planet Caravan was cool...maaaaaaaaaaan!

I prefer Metallica. They have sold more records, and they did more. They branched out and tried new things. Regardless of what you think of S&M, you'd never have heard Pantera do something like that.

because it's one of the ways metallica could be seen to be the best band. my point was that even though metallica were around longer, sold more records and influenced more people, personally i still prefer pantera.
if you're trying to decide something, it's obviously best to consider as many angles as possible, so it was totally relevent.
if i'd written "the beatles were best", THEN you'd have a point... and i'd also be very very wrong :)

What's the relevance of saying that?

I agree with gaybys (note the lack of capital 'G')

Metallica, until the black album. They were the first thrash band to become popular, and they haven't made any true thrash since 1988. Pantera were good, but I'm not too big a fan of their style.

hmmmm, speaking objectively, i'd say Metallica were the best band in terms of sales and influence.

personally, i'd say everything after the black album was gash and Pantera pretty much rocked consistantly. i lke them both, but would rather listen to pantera, it's heavier and Lars isn't in it.

Banging my head off the table is more pleasurable than listening to either.
