As for our cred, we both hosted Metal Shows back in the day and monitor what is happening now. Our key word is "impact" as in what "impact" did the track have when it came out, for instance both the Korn and Slayer had a GIANT impact on the directions metal took after they were released, or in the case of AC/DC it's impact was commercial, STILL selling more each year than most new metal albums released. If you got a better list, send it.
