Top 10 Metal Lists on TheTopTens with Too Many Non-Metal Items

There are many messed up metal lists on this site. A metal list with non-metal items is a bad list for me - a misleading list. Moreover, when there are too many non-metal items.
Why is this important?
Because, if you are a grunge fan, do you wanna see a grunge list with these bands in the top 10: Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Megadeth, Mastodon, Dream Theater? But Pearl Jam are at #19.
I'm sure you don't wanna see this on grunge lists.
But this happens on many metal lists which is very annoying.
The Top Ten
1 Best Heavy Metal Songs Before 1970

There were no metal songs before 1970 and all items are wrong. Many people made comments on that list to say the songs were not metal.

Don't forget the list Top Ten Softest Metal Bands. Bon Jovi, Linkin Park, Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, Poison, Porcupine Tree...

There were none!

You misunderstand I have never had a top tens account I was merely interested if there was any actual metal bands that might be on a worst list in your opinion. Do you not want to answer if I am not a user?

@Metal Treasure fair enough. Do you mind saying some actual metal bands that would be on such a list if it were well made. Also sorry but although I admit that I visit this site often I don't plan on making an account.

@ Metal Treasure just to point it out you have made it worse yourself including non Metal items on your remix.

4 Most Underrated Metal Bands of the 21st Century

Most of the bands in the top 10 are neither metal nor underrated. The list got improved over time, it looked much worse 2-3 years ago but it still sucks:
1 Breaking Benjamin
2 Seether
3 Men Without Armies (this item has been spam voted to #3, I am 100% sure)
4 Arch Enemy (it is metal and perhaps underrated)

5 Three Days Grace
6 Slipknot
7 Oomph
8 Primal Fear (it's metal + underrated, I added them and put at #1 on my remix, this explains the #8 spot)

9 System of a Down
10 Disturbed
(and the bands that are really metal and really underrated, aren't in the top 10)

5 Top Ten Heavy Metal Bands Formed Before Black Sabbath

There were only 2 metal bands formed before Black Sabbath - Deep Purple and Scorpions. All other items are wrong because the bands aren't related to metal.

6 Greatest Metal Band of The 2000s

1 Avenged Sevenfold (not metal and not good; a generic band - too many rip offs)
2 Slipknot
3 Disturbed
4 Lamb of God (partly metal, they have some good songs but definitely aren't top 10 worthy)
5 Metallica (metal but I think they should be lower than #5, they weren't very good in the 2000s)
6 Mastodon (metal and good)
7 System of a Down
8 Killswitch Engage
9 Tool
10 Korn
11 Dream Theater (metal AND good but they are not even in the top 10)

13 Children Of Bodom (metal band and good)
14 Bullet for My Valentine
15 As I Lay Dying

7 Best Metal Riffs Since 2000

Oh dear... one of the worst lists ever! There's only one semi-metal song (#5 damn Electric) and its riff is far from being a good metal riff, if it's a metal riff at all. All other bands and songs aren't metal. The list was made 3 years, 52 days ago.
As of Oct 8, 2018:
1 Stricken - Disturbed
2 Nightmare - Avenged Sevenfold
3 Psychosocial - Slipknot
4 Before I Forget - Slipknot
5 damn Electric - Pantera
6 This Means War - Nickelback
7 Cowboy Way - Hellyeah
8 Jekyll And Hyde - Five Finger Death Punch

20 Best Heavy Metal Driving Songs

This is an old list made long ago but the author's original remix is still strong and influences the entire list (half of the items on the original remix aren't correct):

4 Bad Habit - The Offspring
5 Bat Country - Avenged Sevenfold
6 Rollin' (Air Raid Vehicle) - Limp Bizkit
8 1000 Miles - Grinspoon

Why the hell would anyone consider Offspring metal? They're clearly Punk.
