Best Metal Bands Starting With the Letter D
@ryan, Dream Theater and Death aren't my favorite D bands but they are very good (I believe the best) and I rated them very high. I personally like better Dead Brain Cells, Dark Angel and Death Angel just because I prefer thrash to prog and death metal. And I really love Demons & Wizards because 90% of their stuff is brilliant.
@Metal_Treasure, I also put aside my personal preferences for lists. Dio isn't my favorite 'D metal band', I prefer Death, Deicide, and Dream Theater personally. But in terms of greatness, it goes to Dio. They were one of the most consistent bands through the 80s, they were very popular.
I don't mind Dio the band at #1 but I tried to be objective - I always do it (often against my personal preferences, especially when the question is who is the best and not who's your favorite). I think this band should be at #3.
I put dio at #1, I don't see how anyone is better
Dio is nothing compared to Death
So underrated. Legendary band. Every album is worth owning.
A great progressive metal band from Sweden. They've only released two albums, but their debut, Back to Times of Splendor (2004) is one of my all time favourites.
Devin Townsend Project is another venture of Devin Townsend, considered separate from the material released as Devin Townsend. The project was originally conceived to comprise four albums of differing musical styles, each with a different set of guest/session musicians backing Townsend, but ended up continuing beyond that. Active since 2008.
