Lamb of God on this list - really borderline to call them metal - on a list with Slayer, Morbid Angel, etc.
Youve got be kidding me with this? Lamb of God not metal?

I think some people have a very specific definition of what constitutes as metal. "Heavy metal" no longer applies the entire genre of music. Instead, it has become synonymous with Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, and other "classic heavy metal-sounding" bands.
From an evolutionary standpoint Lamb of God admittedly seems less connected to Black Sabbath than Slayer, but the core of elements of the music are still there.
Then again, there are a number of bands that metal purists would argue are not part of the fabric of heavy metal music. However, Lamb of God's style and sound is simply a direct offshoot of late thrash and early groove metal.

Well - I tried to clarify that - I think "Groove Metal" (I still laugh) is kind of something else - without judging them - I certainly enjoy that better than, for example, Morbid Angel (as the classic example of "death" metal), but not as much as Slayer, Metallica and the classic metal stuff on which I was raised.
Just as Tool - my favorite "heavy band" of the past 15 to 20 years is sometimes considered "metal" but is rightfully considered "something else".
