Solid list. I'm not surprised by any of those for you except for Anthrax.
@voltronic I discovered them age 13. Never looked back. Took me much longer to get into the other 3 of the 'Big4'. @nova

@nova
Are we saving 5 or keeping 5? lol
@DazeyGrae I was assuming you get to keep only 5.
@nova Wait... I mean... are we getting rid of 5 or saving 5? lol
Sorry I'm still trying to figure out how to work this app AND I'm a huge airhead, at the same time. ;)
@nova - I can find 2 I'd like to eliminate all-together (Kiss, Megadeath)
But only 5 to keep?
Rush (lyrics)
Nightwish (there's not enough female representation)
Stones (raw rock)
Killers (pop)
Then a toss up between Linkin Park (for the rap aspect) and Tool (for the artistic aspect) - I can't saw which way I'd lean any particular day.
@nova Radiohead, Rammstein, Manson, Floyd, Tool? Maybe.
Honorables: SOAD, ACDC, Offspring
Blink-182
Korn
Linkin Park
Tool
Slipknot
@nova Of course, this assumes to ignore that without some of these bands, others would never have existed to begin with.
@nova oof, hard choices here...
Foo
Queen
The Who
RATM
Tool
honorable mentions to...
Metallica
The Clash
Iron Maiden
