your point is? I'm not a big fan either but still.

:clap:

Nice to see some people actually bother to know some music history.

Led Zeppelin, UFO , Thin Lizzy, Uriah Heep , Jethro Tull, even Status Quo were considered heavy metal in the 70s
Motley Crue , Def Leppard , Whitesnake and all that lot were considered heavy metal in the 80s.

Just because they don`t sound like the metal of today doesn`t mean they`re were not metal bands. They were considered so at the time , they were covered in metal magazines , they were played on metal shows on radio & tv. Hell even Kerrang magazine called U2 'The Led Zeppelin of the 80s' when they first started.

Opeth, all albums.... all you gotta know.

Opeth is amazing. highly highly skilled. it don't get much better.

wait a second, dont you like bury your dead?

I'm mostly a hardcore/metalcore gal, but here's some of my real metal favs:

Megadeth
Old Metallica
Anthrax
MetalChurch
Judas Priest
Maiden
Napalm Death
Ozzy
Black Label Society
and of course...Pantera

I'm actually getting into Doom/Stoner metal now.
I'm digging Bongzilla at this moment.

you should check out Old Man Gloom

Yeah, I've heard of them. They're okay. What albums should I check out?
Can you download any of their songs for free?

Meditations in B is a good cd. soulseek man.

and get Electric Wizard's "Dopethrone" album if you're liking doom.
