Universally Respected Metal Bands?

Terriblescene · 07-21-2009, 05:28 PM

Metal is a somewhat tough sub-genre of rock, because so many rock bands could easily be classified as metal and so many bands calling themselves metal sometimes work better as other genres of rock. What makes a good band in general has to do with mostly personal taste. With that being said the only band I can think of that most metal fans is Black Sabbath/Ozzy Osbourne's solo career. There's probably others, but I can't include Metallica, because there's a huge base against them more so than for them. Another two could be Iron Maiden or Judas Priest, but again, it's hard to find a singular band or solo career that every metal head will agree on, so my best guess is Ozzy.
