Playing kinda fast and loose with the definition of "Metal"

[@davidfrischknecht8261]

A more accurate title would have been "Guess the Metal/Rock song..." since some of the songs I would consider rock instead of metal.

[@Frodojack]

So because you consider certain songs to be rock instead of metal, everyone else should? Are you the definer of all things metal? LOL.

[@tommymckiddy7872]

@@Frodojack Some of that shit was clearly not metal. If you were a real metal head you would realize that. Just because pop culture wants to label it metal, doesn't mean it's metal.

[@Frodojack]

@@tommymckiddy7872 No True Scotsman fallacy. The only one I'll give you is the first song by Rainbow, which probably should be listed as hard rock. The others all qualify under different subgenres of metal.

[@NathanBrittt]

​@@Frodojack He's not even forcing everyone to agree with him, wtf is up with you lol 💀. He's just saying that he considers some songs to be rock instead of metal, its just what he thinks, its just his own opinion, if anyone wants to agree with him, they can, but he isn't even forcing anyone to consider or agree with him. But honestly he is correct, there obviously is some shit that isn't metal at all.

[@Frodojack]

@@NathanBrittt I didn't write that he was forcing anybody to think anything LOL. WTF is wrong with YOU? I wrote that he made a No True Scotsman fallacy, which has nothing to do with force. I agreed with the Rainbow song not being metal, but the other ones all qualify as a subgenre of metal. If you disagree, tell us which ones and why instead of making blanket statements.

[@christhayil8354]

I think those of us over 40 year old metalheads would have gotten most of the songs after 2004 if you had the songs of Mastodon, Dimmu Borgir, Nightwish, Amon Amarth, Electric Wizard, and the like.

[@VampireJack10]

I concur.

Same 😂

[@newsmith]

I hear ya. I did so well in the 80's and 90 and as soon as the 2000's started it dropped off. I didn't check off any songs from 2010 to present minus 72 seasons.

[@tommymckiddy7872]

Everything after 2000 I was clueless about except for Type O Negative. Just a bunch of pop metal bullshit that real metal heads would never listen to. The only songs I would listen to were the new ones by Iron Maiden and Slayer. I just haven't heard them yet.

[@VampireJack10]

I'm about to hit 50 in June and got everything correct until about 2003 - then it was, let's say, sporadic..... 🤣 Guess I'm a 70s,80s and 90s guy.... Glad I got Type O and Gojira right though!

[@Femaiden]

me too, i guessed everything pre 2000, but everything post 2000's i couldn't. All that Nu Metal. .

[@Rhodesian_FAL]

No Lamb of God? But you had Breaking Benjamin???

[@controler_god]

Of all the actually metal Metallica songs you could have chosen, you choose nothing else matters.. wow.

[@JeffKuykendall]

That was my thought too. At least pick something before they sold out.

[@nigeldepledge3790]

Um. Whoever compiled this list seems to be extremely confused about the difference between metal and hard rock. Detroit Rock City and Girls, Girls, Girls are not, in any way, shape or form, Metal. Some of the stuff selected from the '90s and '00s is kinda borderline, but I'll give you a pass because Grunge and Nu Metal did weird things to meld different styles together. So, two songs each from Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Rammstein and Metallica, but only one each from Megadeth, Motörhead, Sepultura, Pantera and Anthrax. And where were Exodus, Candlemass, Nightwish, Helloween and Blind Guardian? I realise the list has only 50 spaces, so I'm not necessarily expecting to see Crimson Glory, Rage, Metal Church, Meshuggah, Cradle of Filth, Obituary or Powerwolf in there, but you have missed out some of the genre-defining bands.

[@Femaiden]

in fairness, at the time, KISS and Crüe were considered metal. not by today's standards, but it was back then. if Twisted Sister was in there, i would have recognized it. I totally would have caught cradle of filth, they are unique and distinct. and yeah, most of the stuff after 2000 was "nu" metal. i guess, technically, it's "metal", but not my metal. the one iron maiden song was so new, i barely recognized it, even though i know that song, i still failed to see The Writing On The Wall.

[@Femaiden]

obviously, i meant 2 maiden songs. I knew The Number Of The Beast. the other one, i didn't expect them to use a 2021 song. I fully expected some 2021 band i never heard of

[@tattooedman42]

I don't hear too many people mention Obituary. They were a top notch band, in my book.

[@Femaiden]

i prefer Testament. I think Testament should have had Anthrax's place in The Big Four

[@RealAmericanSanta]

My only issue is that there are too many repeat artosts on here, which isnt a bad thing normally, but i coulda found 50 different metal bands that sound nothing alike. Actually. I have a playlist of over 300 songs and no single artist is repeated that spans the entire history of heavy metal. It only took me a year amd a half to do it, and im lazy

[@Mark_Curtis]

I'm 55 and got maybe 5-6 band and song combinations, I recognized way more of just the band. I'm a fan of music across all of the decades. You played some obscure parts of songs that were hard to guess. Fun to play along though. I don't know if I'm just old and my recall isn't what it used to be, but 6 seconds went way faster than it should. 😅

[@jaimegonzalez5710]

no Darkthrone or Bathory? At least I recognized Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Sepultura :)

[@andrettski8686]

[@dustyelliott95]

Yeah. This is a terrible representation of metal.

[@deantodd8103]

I didn't guess the first song, by Rainbow, probably because the only song I know from them in the Dio era is "Man On The Silver Mountain." But I knew every artist from 1976 through 1993 (and the only song title I couldn't remember fast enough was "Madhouse." I'm going to sound like a curmudgeon here, but not only did I not guess any artist right after 1993 except Metallica, but they and Iron Maiden were the only entries I liked from after 1993. DragonForce sounded like they might be listenable. Disturbed has some songs I like, but not the entry here. My goodness I'm getting old. Now get off my lawn! 🤣

I guess, it's hard to make a list with only one song per year. Obviously there will be folks, who will disagree (including me). But it's not a "Greatest Metal Song of the Year" list, but a "Guess the Song" list, so all is fine. Oh, and I sucked at this.

Up to mid-90s I think I nailed every single song. After that it all went downhill. I'm not sure I would call all these songs "metal" however.

[@dustyelliott95]

If I had no idea what Metal was and this was presented to me as a playlist I probably would’ve never gotten into Metal. I appreciate the effort but there was very little real metal. Pantera, Sepultura, Manson, Tool and a few others are great but the 80’s and 70’s choices were really bad.
