I can appreciate Megadeth, I never got super into it or anything, but imo the general consensus is Megadeth > Metallica (albeit I loved Kill 'em All & Ride The Lightning)

I found Children of Bodom to be pretty depressing, merely in the light that they've done much better.
their early stuff, plus the little dueling banjos a la Guitar & Keyboard.. fucking epic



You can't leave out Blind Guardian, there's something wrong w/ that.
If you're listing well known bands and you don't include Blind Guardian you should be ashamed. Metallica is crap, never listen to them and you'll be better off.
