I dunno. I am not sure I would qualify Guns N' Roses as "heavy metal" per se.

The most profoundly metal music I can think of is The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

My tastes for most of my life have been to bands like the Dead Kennedys, Vandals, Sex Pistols, Descendants, Smut Peddlars, etc.

Then there was my Ska phase, Specials, Selector, English Beat, Madness, etc.

sinergy

Has anybody bothered to mention Led Zeppelin yet? They did set the formula for excess that so many have followed. Little ditty called "Stairway to Heaven" ring bells maybe?

While Black Dog might be considered heavy metal, I am not sure Stairway to Heaven qualifies as heavy metal.

And I love Led Zeppelin.

"Stairway to Heaven" set the model for the power ballads that came after. Listen to the guitar solo/instrumental in Stairway and tell me what other genre that could realistically be described as. Or do a quick search here for the link in the "Viking Cats" thread.

Metal is about a lot more than power ballads, tho... Personally, i consider them to be an abomination!
If i remember my history (

) Led Zep were more or less contemporaries of Sabbath. i mean, Sabbath! i never did enough drugs to really get into Zeppelin, but do they have anything that can even be reasonably argued to be more "Metal" than Paranoid, or Iron Man, or War Pigs?

JerseyKrissi, were you into the Death Metal scene in Jersey in the late 80's/early 90's... like Obituary, Sepulchtura, Revenant? i wouldn't be surprised if you and my wife were at some of the same shows

And the random thought of the evening:

Do you suppose, that if this same poll were posted on a board that was primarily gay Leather, as opposed to the largely hetero population of CM, that Judas Priest would have an unfair advantage?

      Like Ron said, listen to The Immigrant Song (it's on the "Viking Cats" link)

      Ahhhh, the Power Ballad. In the cookie cutter crap era of Metal, that was the most important part of the marketing scheme.

      Maybe the question we should be asking is, "where is the line between Heavy Metal and Hard Rock?"

I love AC/DC, but I just don't consider them Heavy, so I said Iron Maiden, because they rock my socks!

Metallica are without doubt, on the basis of all round performance in every possible category one could think of - the best! (And I'm a metal head).

Met Robert Plant (Led Zep) several times though - he lives about 3 miles from here, and drinks in a pub I occasionally frequent as well as helping out on the music courses at the local college. A nice guy, but an ego that more than matches his achievements LOL!

AC/DC. First ever record I bought "Touch Too Much", and it still sounds just as good as the first time I played it.
Nirvana were class.

In my younger days I would have said Iron Maiden without hesitation....

These days, I would have to say that THE BEST Heavy Metal band of ALL time, without dispute is:

Dethklok!!!!!

Let the Metalocalypse begin!
