Rammstein
AC/DC

(The Angels!)

You guys have pretty much covered everything... Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Led Zepplin... as far as modern stuff is concerned, I've heard Manowar and Rhapsody mentioned, those are good choices...

Any fans of the latter two bands, check out the concept album 'Aina'; it's a massive collaborative effort between members of numerous Euro-metal bands, produced by Sascha Paeth of Rhapsody fame, and an amazing amount of talent shows through.

There are a few others that deserve an honorable mention... let's see, Gwar, Judas Priest, Witchfinder General (another obscure but excellent group... heavy Sabbath-style doom metal, from around the same era), Blue Oyster Cult, and Megadeth.

Metallica has two or three good songs... other than this fact, they are conspicuously absent from my post. Please take note of that.

Here is music 101 recap
www.metal-rules.com...

Deep Purple was metal. I think that from what I define metal as, and taking the shows into account, the band that just hit the nail on the head. And inspired so many later metal bands, was Priest. They were the text book metal band. Before there was an Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth, Pantera, etc. The effect of their songs when performed live, was that you knew that they were written just for that. Metal Gods, Hellbent for Leather, Exciter, The Ripper, The Green Manalishi, Victim of changes, Living After Midnight, Breaking the Law, Grinder, Tyrant, and later songs like Hellion, Screaming for Vengeance, and You got another thing coming.
Those songs were more appreciated when seen live. Green Manalishi, which was the last encore, and Metal Gods, in particular. The two lead guitars were ripping, the vocals were awesome. And the Harley, the black leather, etc. It was pure original metal. I hear their riffs in lots of newer bands.

My personal favorites include
-Gorgoroth
-Vital Remains
-The Count Nosferatu Kommando
-Moonsorrow
-(Old) Borknagar
-Arcturus

and a whole lot of other bands, there are too many genres to compare them with eahother.

Em ok kinda new to the whole heavy music theme but here are a few bands and people who are in my music collection.

Alice Cooper
Ramnstien
Nightwish
Lacuna Coil
Metallica
Black Sabbath
Type O Negative
James LaBrie
Motorhead - only cause my dad went to school with the drummer and his wife baby sat me.
