Can anyone think of bands that every metalhead seems to enjoy and never craps on? Conversely,which metal bands never get any respect from fans?

I would say that Nevermore are one band that hardly ever gets flak. Metallica are a band everyone urinates on anymore.

I'd go with Nevermore as being "unflakable" and Maiden as a band that doesn't seem to get respect.

What are you talking about Maiden doesn't get respect? They've got tons of respect. Except for a few people here and there Maiden is held high by most fans. Maybe held to a ridiculous standard, but still held high.

A band that never gets attacked that I've seen in Motorhead, most people seem to respect them.

The only reason that Maiden ever gets bashed is because of Harris' tendency to release about 2 live albums, 2 greatest hits, and repackage the catalog 2 times per every one studio album. Other than having Blaze Bailey singing on 2 CDs (one of which I personally think is a classic), Maiden rarely gets bashed from a musical standpoint.

Judas Priest jumps out at me as a band that seems to be universally adored by metalheads.

Can't think of a better example than the current Metallica for a band that is universally reviled by metalheads.

Another band (not metal) that can compete with Metallica for the "Deserve to be Pissed On" title is Aerosmith. Testament is a band I think is universally loved/respected by the metal community.

Jake, I was kind of going after the "ridiculous standard" angle...

On underground levels, Mortification (the lame Christian death metal band) is one which receives incredible degrees of ridicule based on their lyrical grist, lame album covers, watery takes on death metal riffing, et al. More unfairly, however, Burzum is a group whose seminal influence to second-generation black metal has been almost completely dismissed or forgotten amidst a smear campaign based not on the man's influence, but rather on his deeds and press statements.
