Yes, I cut my metal teeth on them, so to speak - but that's not the real point of this thread.
I was hoping for more critical reactions like "OK, so how does the music define metal then?" or examples of other bands that define the genre.
Maybe some modern bands do - Fear Factory, for example, seem to have created a sound that is now widespread, with bands like Killswitch Engage adapting it into a more melodic framework.
Or you could argue that Metallica define metal ultimately, since they released the first bona fide thrash album, then upped the ante, developing the sound and style into something that's far more ubiquitous than Motorhead's rock and roll based style.
There are so many possibilities.
