That's the number of times I listened to Opeth before today.
I only remember Blackwater Park (the song) if I am honest.
Last year #Opeth won the battle for #MostLovedMetalBand: https://metalhead.club/@derthomas/111336759990677772
Last week Opeth realeased a new album everyone has been talking about these past few days.
I still don't care much for Opeth.

Good morning people of the Mastodons!
Yesterday #Opeth gloriously won the first ever #MostLovedMetalBand polling madness against Sepultura.
I put all results into an excel sheet.
Are there any data nerds and diagram aficionados out there who would like to prepare the data in a nice looking way?
You can download the file here:

Password is the number of the beast.
Thanks for anyone who volunteers to do some data magic with it!
🙏 🤘
You have decided! Your #MostLovedMetalBand is:
🏆 Opeth 🤘
Congratulations, this was well deserved. 🎉👏
They didn't let anyone else even come close in any poll.
The silver and bronze medal go to
🥈 Sepultura
🥉 Dark Tranquillity
Congratulations 👏🎉
Thank all of you for contributing, that was a wild, but fun ride.
Maybe I'll do another one next year, who knows.
Of course you can also tell me to never do a poll again, I would totally understand that 😂
