    So the bands on that list that are actually metal are:

    Metallica
    Meshuggah
    Motorhead
    Iron Maiden
    Slayer
    Black Sabbath
    Pantera

    And ones on the fence:

    Judas Priest
    Dio

    And just throwing it out there, I realize that Sabbath is on there, but no Ozzy?

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (tim @ Jul 14 2008, 11:43 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>I don't know if I would consider Zeppelin or Hendrix metal. I consider them rock bands with metal influences personally.</div>

    Hendrix had metal influences? Hendrix was pre-metal. Metal is influenced by Zeppelin and Hendrix, not the other way around.

    You're right in that Hendrix is definitely not metal though.

    Still, you've got to wonder, if they consider Hendrix metal, how can he not be #1?

    Anyway, I'm not a metal fan. I hate when metal gets lumped in with artists like the Beatles/Doors/Hendrix, because people tend to get the wrong impression about rock music as a result.

    However, with that said, they got Sabbath right, but Metallica should be higher, maybe even #1b.

    I know AC/DC was considered quite hard when they came out, on the border of metal/hard rock, but when their songs get played in the 80's at my junior high school dances.. I'd have to say they were hard rock.
    Although it was just the 'head banger' types who wore their t-shirts. AC/DC and Motorhead t-shirts a plenty amongst the long haired dudes at my school [​IMG]

    Iron Maiden pretty much helped save/found Heavy Metal. In my opinion, they define Metal.
