Kreator is thrash, not death.

You've got aa pretty good list there already.

Add;

Necrophagist
Death
Nile
Deicide

And if you're into melo death;

Amon Amarth
Dark Tranquility
Arch Enemy
In Flames
At the Gates (never heard anything from them, but they are supposednly good, and they did take part in pioneering the melodic death metal genre)
Opeth

Opeth is Progressive Death Metal, but either way they should be on that list. Also add the Doom/Death bands:

Anathema
My Dying Bride
Novembers Doom.

Other bands that should be on that list:

Behemoth
Therion (Early)
Orphaned Land
Paradise Lost (Early)

And I can't think of any more at the moment.

Doom metal is a completely seperate genre, really.

Death is the best death metal band.

Death/Doom is a style that mixes death metal with doom.
It's like doom metal with death metal vocals.

I enjoy Cryptopsy, Death, Obituary and Suffocation. Plus some Deathcore bands like Suicide Silence, The Eyes Of A Traitor and Postmortem Promises that i'm sure the elitists on here don't approve of.

Death/doom isn't really separate at all. Bands like Asphyx, Katatonia(early), My Dying Bride, Mourning Beloveth that have a lot of death metal in them should be able to be in any dm list. Funeral or Drone doom, on the other hand, should not.
And I'll disagree with you on that statement about Death.

They're still seperate genre's. If you're saying they're not thats like saying

Classic Metal and Black Metal are an a like genre becasue they share the drums. True, they're 'a like' but completely different genre's. Surely, we've got cross-over bands, and things. Such as COB. What do you class them as? They've become a mixture of 3-4 genre's, imo.

Basically I'm saying, all genre's share simularity's, they're still different genre's, correct?

Doom is not Death.
