I'm a simple man, I see system of a down and I click

How could you not like metal though.

... I can't imagine someone who doesn't like metal liking ANYTHING on this list. You're basically just saying 'here are some metal albums from bands who have more than one influence.' Duh.

1. It should have been Toxicity instead of Mesmerize for System of a down.. I mean who doesn't love Chop Suey! 2. Im very suprised Linkin Park wasnt on there

I don't understand the title. How can someone not like Metal?

How does one do not like metal

I'm super surprised that Pantera - Cowboys From Hell wasn't even mentioned.

There are people that exist that don't enjoy metal? strange people indeed..

what i really enjoy about SOAD is how their chorus are loud and heavy but then the verses are slower and more melodic, and Serj has the perfect voice for that

Here is some bands for people who don't like metal. Cannibal Corpse Dying Fetus Suffocation Six feet under Torture Killer Entombed Deicide Morbid Angel But if you really hate metal music and prefer listen to pop music here is one band that everyone loves! Vulvodynia. Its African Slamming Brutal Death Metal band.

how the hell do you have a metal list and not have british steel from judas priest?

Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory (for rap and electronic fans) Ghost - Prequelle (for pop fans with appreciation for the 70s and 80s) Rammstein - Reise, Reise (for AWESOME people)

How can someone dislike metal ? You can find your happiness there is rap metal, alternative metal, thrash metal, heavy metal... there is for everyone

Slipknot ? Seriously ? Don't even try to show slipknot to someone who don't like metal, he will say you it's just noise

I think Rammstein could be on the list. At least on honorable mentions. Personnly I discovered metal with them and the albums Mutter and Sehnsucht.

what's about TOXICITYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ????????

SoaD's Mesmerize being deemed the most family friendly of their albums confuses me. You know, I would love to listen to "Violent Pornography" or "This Cocaine Makes me Feel like I'm on this Song" with my mum.

Its Simple, ""Metal is not so popular because it attracts Intelligence""

Watchmojo is like a drunk police officer He doesn't know what is talking about

The best way to introduce metal to people who are afraid of it is to make them listen to alternative metal, because it mix metal with more mainstream genres, and it is generally softer than "pure" metal. Then if they really like it they can start listening to heavier things. But to be honest, I don't see the point of this video. If people don't like metal, why would you force them to listen to it ?

Metallica by Metallica Images And Words by Dream Theater No More Tears by Ozzy Osbourne Seventh Son of a Seventh Son by Iron Maiden Countdown to Extinction by Megadeth Oceanborn by Nightwish Keeper of the Seven Keys part II by Helloween Bandolier by Budgie Vol 4 by Black Sabbath Mezmerize by System of a Down Silence by Sonata Arctica Angel Dust by Faith No More Superunknown by Soundgarden Babymetal by Babymetal Kings of Metal by Manowar The Crimson Idol by W.A.S.P. I think these are great way to start.

Next: Top 10 candies for people who dont like candies :?

Serj Tankian is a musical genius and has possibly one of the most adaptable voices in music

“Killswitch Engage, End of Heartache” *goes straight to ex-singer Howard screaming*...

Metallica - Metallica Ozzy/Black Sabbath - anything really Korpiklaani - Tales Along This Road System of a Down - Toxicity Volbeat - The Strength/The Sound/The Songs Opeth - Damnation Rage Against the Machine - Rage Against the Machine Those are some of the metal albums that my hiphop-listening brother listens to now and then.

Tbh justin bieber's baby is the one and only the best death metal song that has been written in history of humanity.

Good list honestly, lots of these drew my wife and other friends into metal. Avenged Sevenfold, Iron Maiden, and Metallica were my introduction into heavy music and I wouldn’t be listening to it like I do if it weren’t for them.

You left out Deftones “White Pony”. That was my first album that introduced me to anything with heavy guitars and brilliant vocals.

not gonna lie but killswitch engage and slipknot arent very good for people who hate metal

Deftones probably should have been on here

U should have included defttones

I fucking love metal. But imma still review this list anyways. 10. Mezmerize - System of A Down: Good. Not only do I have it on my Spotify. But I also own a physical copy too. This is their second best album. First being Toxicity. 9. The End of Heartache - Killswitch Engage: Good. Not only do I think this is a metal album for people who don't like metal. I also think it's a metalcore album for people who don't like metalcore. Because I don't like metalcore except for Killswitch Engage. 8. Vol 3. The Subliminal Verses - Slipknot: Good. But I like their first two albums and .5 The Grey Chapter better. 7. Sunbather - Deafheaven: Cool. Deafheaven definently deserves more attention than they have now. 6. City of Evil - Avenged Sevenfold: Not the biggest A7X fan. 5. The Hunter - Mastodon: Mastodon kicks fucking ass for a modern metal band. End of story. 4. Blizzard of Ozz - Ozzy Osbourne: Kicks fucking ass. Not only do I have this on my Spotify. But I own a physical copy too. And not only is this album for people who don't like metal, but I think this is his best album. 3. The Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden: Kicks fucking ass. Iron Maiden made me dive deeper into metal and made me ditch most of the rap garbage I used to listen to. During the time I was into rap. I still listened to metal. But I liked more rap at the time. 2. Black Sabbath - Paranoid: Undeniably kick ass. Not only this is an album for non-metal listeners. But I think this is Black Sabbath's best album and the best album of all time. HM1. Images and Words - Dream Theater: Kicks ass. HM2. Meliora - Ghost: Great. Don't know why but the song you guys showed me from the album gave me a bit of a Faith No More vibe. And Faith No More is fucking great. HM3. The Strength / The Sound / The Songs - Volbeat: Good. 1. The Black Album - Metallica: Great. But their first 4 albums are better. I also own a physical copy along with it added to my Spotify too. This is also the last good Metallica album until Hardwired to Self-Destruct came in. But that's just my opinion. I also think Load and Reload are albums that Nickelback would make. St Anger makes me think Nickelback and Limp Bizkit did an album together. I like a good amount of nu metal. But Metallica doesn't fit with the genre. So far St Anger is their worst album. As for Death Magnetic. I only like one song off the album. Which is All Nightmare Long.

It pisses me off when rock fans think Soad isn't metal.

Linkin park, Disturbed and Bring me the horizon all metal bands that non metal heads seem to like, I have heaps of friends who only like Pop but go bat shit insane over Bring me the horizon. I think its pretty sad when people start liking bands just because they think the front man is hot.

Thank u watchmojo, now i become a huge fan of Deafheaven🤘🏻

If your favorite album is on here does that mean you’re not metal?

Top 10 Filthy Frank songs

Saw system of a down for the thumbnail and clicked this video as fast as I could

Rammstein - Mutter Songs like Sonne, Mein Herz Brennt, Mutter and Zwitter would work amazing.

Rammstein - Sehnsucht would be on the list

I don't think that albums of acts like Killswitch Engage, Deafhaven or Slipknot could be something for People who don't like Metal. You mean People in general and the overall population woulnd't listen to music with screaming and heavy distortion in it. Yeah, they have catchy singing hooks in it but also a lot of screaming and the average person who don't listen to Metal can't stand this kind of sounds. So I think this list just makes sense with acts who have traditional singing in it rather than screaming and shouting. Taditional Metal bands like Black Sabbath for example make sense since the music has some sort of harmony and Ozzy, Dio and the other singers actually sing. Even if people dislike it they would admit it's kinda hearable and not just "Noise" like Killswitch Engage, Slipknot or Deafhaven. When it's about newer Metal I would have included albums like "Ænima" by Tool, "Crack the Skye" by Mastodon or "Purple" by Baroness. Metal with singing and more melody in it. These albums could run in the background while people may say "I don't like it but I can endure it" but most people can't endure heavy screaming and "shredding" distortion.

If you don't like metal... then don't pretend to like it and just DON'T listen to metal...

I would definite recommend Iron Maiden, Megadeth and maybe Judas Priest to a newby. I think nightwish or eluviete(spelling?) would be a modern recommendation. I really want to recommend Slayer but I have a feeling it would be overkill.

Sabaton!!!!!!!!!!!

i don't like metal but listened to avenged sevenfold new album and it is fantastic, been trying to expand my taste ever since hearing it

I've found that people really get into nu metal easily. Korn specifically. Those grooves are awesome.

Here’s how my taste in music changed from dubstep to metal. In 2017, I found myself listening to Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana over and over again. I told my dad and he told me to buy the entire album. He said just listen to it. So I did. Then, I just listened to that. Dubstep still had a place in my music taste, but I was transitioning. After that, I find more and more rock. I put together a Spotify playlist and found even more rock. Here’s where things got heavier. One day, I was watching South Park. It was the episode where KoRn came to town. They played “Falling Away From Me.” I found that song on Spotify and loved it. After that, my dad had me listen to more of KoRn’s first album. I listen more and more and love it more and more. Things keep leading to another and now I am a former dubstep fan, converted to a metal fan. Dubstep still has a place in my heart (nostalgia and stuff). Thanks for reading my story!

Du......Du hast?

Mojos list is shit. here's mine 1. Metallica black album 2. black sabbath paranoid 3. judas priest British steel 4. Iron maiden number of the beast 5. Metallica master of puppets 6.pantera vulger display of power 7. Megadeth countdown to extinction 8. judas priest screaming for vengeance 9. black sabbath masters of reality 10. system of a down toxicity remember I would give these album to someone that knows nothing about metal

In my opinion, Iron Maiden is the best metal band for people who don't typically listen to metal. Bruce Dickinson's operatic vocals pretty much destroys the metal "screaming" stereotype, it's not so fast so that people can't focus on it, it's a lot more instrumentally melodic than other bands, the song topics are clear and often have something to do with something famous, and they just have a unique sound that is recognizable as metal but not the stereotypical metal. it's an opinion, pals, you're free to your own.

The first metal album I ever listened to was the black album. That album changed my life. 20 years later and I still listen to it. But I've moved on as well. These days I listen to a diverse selection of music. Heavier, softer, etc. I love music!

I own 2 of these albums... Killswitch Engage: The End Of Heartache Avenged Sevenfold: City Of Evil

This is a bad list, the people who aren't metalheads don't need extreme music, they will hate it, they need something more soft to hear, like Dio, Saxon, Girlschool or Phantom Blue. I agree with SOAD, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden tho.

How can you recommend Death metal and Metalcore to someone who doesnt likes metal??? I know, they are awesome bands but even for some metalhead hear such a extreme metal subgenre is kinda hard

I remember listening to subliminal verses while playing runescape back in the day.

Both Holy Diver and Heaven&Hell should be metioned, not only because dio's incredible vocal technique, the guitar solo by Iommi and the one by Vivian Campbell are so powerful and emotional.

Oh, I _LOVE_ System of a Down and Avenged Sevenfold.

I'm a simple man. When I see SOAD, I click like.

Holy diver by Dio!!!!! Sure, every album on this list had Major commercial success, finding newer fans. But the HOLY DIVER album...... no screaming and not particularly very aggressive, buts it’s powerful and euphoric. No sane person can resist Dio’s unmistakeable vocals..... NO ONE!!!

Glad to see y’all put killswitch on here. They got me into metal years ago and still my fav band

Immortalized by Disturbed and The Wrong Side of Heaven by Five Finger Death Punch are also good ones.

I'm a man of simple tastes, when I see System of a Down, I click like! I'm a metalhead by the way!

Metallica, a7x, born of osiris and soad brought me into metall. I only listen born of osiris and soad from those four. I'm now into opeth, igorrr, however that changes every week or so

I would put Issues and Follow The Leader from Korn these albums got me in metal

Completely obsessed with SOAD!! (System of a down

Personally, I'm more into Hard Rock, but I like a little Metal, too. System of a Down, Killswitch Engage, Slipknot, Avenged Sevenfold, Ozzy Osbourne, and Metallica being my absolute favorites.

Ghost

System of Down was my first real taste of metal back in my high school days (ahhh the memories). I'm definitely more of a hip-hop head but still rock out to a couple of their albums. I like some Avenged Sevenfold as well, don't know much about some of the other bands on the list but I like what I hear.

RAMMSTEIN !

I'm pretty sure no-one can resist headbanging on metallica or iron maiden.. all their songs are amazing

I think 10,000 days by tool should be on this list. The album is an amazing mix of softer more meaningful music to harder rock that I think is just masterful

DO PLEASE Top 10 Alternative Albums for People Who DON'T Like Alternative, as well as Top 10 Pop Albums for People Who Like Pop Music

so u think that people who prefer like, pop or jazz music - they would actually enjoy stuff like Killswitch Engage? im gonna call bs on that one

Should have been Toxicity

I have the Sunbather emblem tattooed on my wrist. That album did wonders.

KIllswitch - that guy has great vox. Love it

Why is watchmojo still making videos about something they don't know about? ._.

Why the hell is Dream Theater on the honorable mentions list and not in the actual list? Someone fucked up here. Dream Theater is a great gateway for someone trying to get into the metal genre.

All of the honorable mentions I would put in here over half of this list easily. Dream Theater? Ghost? Both of those bands are so easy to get into regardless of your musical preference. Whenever someone tells me they dont like metal I always mention Dream Theater to them. They are so incredibly diverse I can always find a song someone will like.

I remember sitting in history class in high school when my classmate introduced me to Slipknot. Thanks for that dude- Maggot for life. I just wish Joey would come back.

Dio holy diver ??

For Non Metal/hard rock fans, may I suggest: Trivium - Vengeance Falls and Silence in the Snow albums. Volbeat - All. Ghost - newest album. Avenged Sevenfold- The Stage album. Nothing More - Nothing More. (if they are considered metal.) Pop Evil - most songs. (again, if they are considered Metal.) Sixx:A.M. - all.

I remember dicovering slipknot when i was around 10. It was an amazing period in my life

Pretty solid list! I'd say Deftones (self titled) or In Flames - Reroute to Remain would have been a better pick over Deafheaven's Sunbather though. I find that's a hard one to get people into...

kind of stupid list, i agree with black sabbath and Metallica but where is Linkin Park?Evanescence? System of Down toxicity? Guns N Roses?

Play them some deathcore until they like metal, problem solved

Watchmojo please do top 10 sad or slow songs by metal bands. Songs like so far away by avenge sevenfold or snuff by slipknot

I agree with the album picks on this list, but as a ''non metal fan'' i was once listening to All the recent new album releases. Taking a chance on one after another, until i come across that will catch my ear, stop me from skipping to another title... Volbeat's ''Seal the deal & let's boogie'' album cover looked good enough to make me give it a chance, without knowing genre.. hearing first song on the album i already knew it was a good decision, and every next song just ensured me in that ;) Without skipping a single song i finished hearing that album and immediately wanted to hear other of their works.. Every. Single. One. And damn am I glad to have come across that band :D Their music is one of my favorites.

Who's here for the SOAD thumbnail?!?!?

where the fuck is Dio.

I never thought I'd say this about a watchmojo but I actually agree with this list

I'm a avenged sevenfold fan I first listened to them when I was like 5 because my mom would play their songs and at around 9 I would listen to them regularly I got 4 of their albums, 2 shirts and a poster when I outgrow the shirts I will make them into a quilt with my other band shirts along with another quilt ill make that will have TV show shirts and movie shirts

How about In Waves or Vengeance Falls by Trivium? Very melodic stuff, brought me into Metal too. Or you check out Indian by Stoned Jesus because it's not that heavy but catchy.

Through the fire and flames is a good song for both metal fans and....metal haters...*cringe*. Hollywood Undead is a good band for metal fans and haters too. It combines rap, pop/club/rave style party music, and light-medium metal. They are pretty awesome. Their masks were made by the same people that made Slipknot's masks.

Good job starting the video with some nice System Of A Down

Rage Against The Machine because of their blend of metal and hip hop.

I feel like Toxicity is way more universally appealing than Mesmerize.

For those who doesn't have time to see the whole video: 10. Mesmerize - System of a down 9.The end of Heartache - Killswitch engage 8.Vol. 3: The subliminal verses - Slipknot 7.Sunbather - Deafhaven 6.City of evil - Avanged sevenfold 5.The hunter - Mastodon 4.Blizzard of ozz - Ozzy Osbourne 3.The number of the beast - Iron Maiden 2.Paranoid - Black Sabbath Honorable Mentions: Images and word - Dream Theater Meliora - Ghost The Strenght/ The sound/ The songs - Volbeat 1.Metallica (The black album) - Metallica but i highly recommend you to watch the video anyway

Nobody: Watchmojo: *includes a clip from “Engel” for no reason whatsoever”

I feel like this list is for people like me. I'm just a brother that grew up in the hood, and I wouldn't consider myself a "Metal Fan." However, SOAD is my all-time favorite band, and I rocks with the majority of the bands on this list! Good stuff WatchMojo!
