Don’t leave out the 2 bands that probably started it all. Both from England.
1-Black Sabbath… The Godfather
2-Blitzkrieg… The infamous Godfather runner up
Blitzkrieg probably had more influence on the greatest metal band ever “Metallica” than anyone.
We all should thank OZZY whether you like him or not.
I love me some OZ…
\m/ James,Kirk,Lars,Cliff…& Dave \m/

Hey, System of a Down rocks and its new.

not sure if you can call this heavy metal but some of my favorite lifting songs are:
We Die Young by Alice in Chains

Praise by Sevendust
This is not METAL. Just rock.
Slayer, Pantera, now that’s METAL.

Yeah pretty much… I like alice In Chains though. Good Band. Loved Lane Staley.
A little seattle grunge there… not bad.
Quiet Riot is what got me into metal.
The first songs I remember as a kid were when MTV first came out in 84’ and Quiet Riot had that ‘Mental Health’ video on. I’ve been hooked since then
Metallica soon followed.
During my morning training and my day at the desk, I usually enjoy a rotation of:
Pantera
Metallica
Mudvayne
Slipknot
Lamb of God
Deftones
Korn
Marilyn Manson
Static-X
Hatebreed
Chimaira
Iron Maiden
System of a Down (more rock/punk)
and the like
They are effective for both heavy weight and graphics and multimedia work.
I continue to expand into the harder stuff, but I’m still not a big fan of music on the level of Cannibal Corpse. Of course, I’m also a fan of industrial and ‘outlaw’ country and other things.
And while we’re discussing it, Dethklok: Metalocalypse still rules! Maybe I’m a music-idiot, but they really came up with a good sound mix for the music on that show, as silly as the songs are…but then, the metal genre is ripe with undercurrents of dark humor. hahah

Time for a lesson. And I hate teaching… and I bet you’re fairly intelligent. First of all country music gets its name from people wo came from European and African “countries” and brought their folk songs with them. Around the 17th Century. Back then it was just referred to as “folk music” which it basicly means the same thing. Jazz and Blues arrived around the turn of the 20th century and started in the southern states around New Orleans, LA. Jazz and Blues were formed in America the same way rock was. It all stems from old folk music that people brought with them from the native countries and passing it down generation after generation their “countries music”.
As for “classic rock”… once again you are dead wrong. Please get your head out of your ass so I don’t have to keep schooling you. Guitarist like Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page were classical guitarist like Estaban but turned rockers… creating the “classic rock” sound of the 70’s.
By the way. I’ve been a musician for 15 years. How many years have you been one? If you actually played an instrument, you might understand how music is formed.
For a timeline… This is all considered “Classical” and this lasts for hundreds of years, actually centuries Mr. Blues Man.
By the way “the Blues” or the pentatonic scale was created very recently on a musical timeline.
Mid 5th century to Mid 15th century (Middle ages)
Mid 15th Century to 17th Century (The Renaissance)
17th Century to Mid 18th Century (The Baroque Period)
Mid 18th to early 19th Century (The Modern Classical Period)
Hope this helps your retention… you’ve seemed to misplaced yours and are in a losing battle with a musician.

Look, I think we’ll have to agree to disagree on the blues/country thing. I respect your opinion as a fellow musician and audiophile.
On the other hand, you are wrong about classic rock and I have to call you out on that. There was no “classic rock sound”. Classic rock grew out of the radio format AOR–Album Oriented Rock. Classic Rock describes an album which:
a) was recorded over 20 years ago
b) was successful
c) was recorded by a successful group
d) has withstood the test of time
I am a musician, myself. I haven’t been playing 15 years (I’m only 19 after all), though I always had an interest in the piano and started “composing” and “jamming” before I began to take lessons. I’ve also played the trumpet and am currently teaching myself the guitar. I’ve been exposed to all of the old stuff by my father, and I make an effort to discover a new band every week, whatever the genre. I don’t meet many people who love music nearly as much as I do. Rock on.
I have been playing on and off for 20 years. I play and listen to all the different 80’s-90’s stuff.
Ratt, Dokken, Lynch Mob, Judas Priest, Wasp, Iron Maiden, Saxon, Metallica, Def Leppard, Godsmack, Alice in Chains, MotorHead, ACDC, Megadeth, Sevendust, Ozzy, Black Label Society, Pantera, Damage Plan, Motley Crue, Anthrax, Dreadnaut.

Fair enough. TomAto/Tomato… I can agree to disagree. I do that all the time. If you ever get a chance to play some Jimmy Page on a guitar, you’ll understand where I’m coming from.
As for the blues… the blues came from folk as well. The same way rock came from the folk music or country… its basicly the same thing. I think we only disagree on the terminology and the labeling. Rock itself is influenced by everthing including blues. But where Rock music started is in the melody, not the rhythm. Blues started in the rhythm. Jazz for example is closely related to blues because of the syncopated rhythms. Rock is related to folk and country music more because of the melody.
Behold, the true grandaddy of them all was the classical era with something like Mozart though… this is where most everything played today has its origins.
Generally rhythm is thought to have come from Africa and the melody from Europe. America is where the two collided and started new forms of music.

There’s a list I can comment on. This list I like… Alot! You must be an old bastard like me. The younger generation likes alot of the scream music. I myself am an older dude and I still enjoy my Hendrix and Clapton. So, I tend to like metal where I can still make out the lyrics somewhat. Otherwise I’m just listening to a distortion pedal for an hour and a half with a fuzzy microphone.

The Screaming Jets (Aussie band, not stritly metal),
Mudvayne.
You are going to be hard pressed to convince me coheed and cambria is anywhere near metal.[/quote]
The riff to ‘Welcome Home’ is seriously heavy. While I don’t like the vocals, the band is well and truly metal IMO.
Nobody gives a damn about anybody else,
Think everyone should feel
The way they feel themselves,
Rich men think that happiness
Is a million dollar bills,
So how come most of them O.D.
On sleeping pills,
Eye for eye,tooth for tooth,
You all know what I mean,
What’s the use of a cry for help,
If no one hears the scream,
No one hears the scream,
No voices in the sky,
Confusion blinds the eye,
Can’t take it with you when you die,
No voices in the sky
MOTORHEAD!!!
LEMMY RULES! HE RULES!!!
I’m more into the nu-metal side of metal but like all metal
Some of my favourite bands (some of them has been mentioned already)
HATEBREED!!!
Korn
Soulfly
DRY KILL LOGIC!!!
Chimaira
Coal Chamber
Disturbed
DIECAST
Drowning pool
Mudvayne
GWAR (hehe)
MUSHROOMHEAD
nonpoint

This is where heavy metal should have stayed. no need to change it and fuck it up. Lemmy had it perfect in this song. This song is just music to my ears.

I love your speech.
If only there were more of you to go around - you need to reproduce…
: p
Metallica
Pantera
and;
“You want to know why I can’t be passified…”
Just that line there is the essence of anything that is heavy and metal.
Got 2 new ones: Benea Reach - good metal band. Waking the Cadaver - good US goregrind.
On a funny note: myspace the Gavones. If you like Italy, pizza, the mob, and gaudy jewelry, this is the band for you.
Iced Earth
Melancholy (one of my favorites)
