Born 1960. It was Zeppelin, Sabbath, and Deep Purple by the time I was 10. The first Montrose album in 1973 was a game changer. Was heavily into prog when TNWOBHM hit so I never got major into Maiden or Priest, etc.
Loved the heavy hair metal stuff in the 80s because of the amazing guitar players in that genre. Mid late 80s I jumped on the Metallica train and played RTL, MOP, and AJFA to death. The black album was a major letdown and I jumped off the train.
I'll listen to just about anything heavy as **** these days as long as it's musically interesting/proficient and doesn't have cookie monster vocals.
