PS. Manowar definitely deserves a place in this thread

I thought it made it clear in the opening post, but hey, it's not meant to be a serious discussion really: just a light-hearted shrug and roll of the eyes at the band or bands (or artiste) who you feel least typifies metal, who, if you were trying to introduce a total noob to metal, would be the last one you would want them to see. They don't have to be terrible (I like Manowar as I said, but their image is laughable), just embarrassing and cliched.
I still think Manowar win hands down. I never said they couldn't play, or write music --- like I said, I have three or four of their albums and I saw them live on the "Into glory ride" tour in, what, '84? But their image just cries out for caricature and Simpson/Family Guy-style mocking of the metal genre.
But I love 'em, god bless 'em. Sure ye have to, they know no better...
