My favorites are Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, DIO, Megadeth, Iced Earth, and Queensryche.

Sill trying to figure how to love certain bands & songs despite them having memories attached to them.

But traces of metal lingered. To this day, Alice in Chains "Dirt" might be my favorite release ever.

Meanwhile, sheesh-where's Greedy?
I woulda pegged her as an old skool metalgal all the way.


Edited to add some early bitching ass Sabbath.
In hindsight, it's kinda crazy how close these guys were to mixing aspects of punk, speed and standard metal way fucking back.

Status: offline 		seeing megadeath mentioned really is bitter sweet for me. the man i loved was into them and i remember him being mortified when my mum said she liked one of their songs. he was the only guy she actualy liked when i was younger. sadly he passed away, 10 years ago next month, at the age of 32. strangely, but organically he has come up in conversation alot this last week or so.

i'm not sure what they fall under, but today i have blasted myself in the car with seven dust. i find heavy music relaxing and spirit lifting.

I prefer Unleashed in the East-the live versions of exciter and The Ripper smoke

Overall I'd say my favorite Priest album of any era would have to be Defenders of the Faith.

Tool -- is Tool metal? I kinda don't feel like they're metal. They're just Tool. "just" Tool, which is like... more awesome than a bajillion suns collapsing in on themselves.

Deep Purple - Speed King: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4I--kl9wbY – finest album intro ever I reckon. IMHO the later histrionic metal singers owe more to Ian Gillan than Plant or Ozzy.

Lou Reed - Heroin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7Ch4O7wmuY – excellent metal version.

Thin Lizzy – Waiting for an alibi http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJoXgxx9UwE – searing twin lead guitar thanks (in part) to Gary Moore.

Motörhead - Louie Louie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CMgkJ1b1aY – “oi oi oi oi”

Tool is more metal than Rammstien, Rammstien is Techno, not metal
