[@althealligator1467]

Early Metal sounds nothing like any Metal from after the mid 80s, it just sounds like Hard Rock. I love how you can just hear the music progressively get worse (for the most part). Metal's just become a parody of itself in the same way that Country music has.

[@althealligator1467]

@@santaisgruntinginmycloset9422 I very much understand, I just don't quite agree. If something like Through the Fire and the Flames is the same genre as something like Iron Man, then it's not any more absurd to say that it's the also the same genre as something like Johnny B. Goode, since even though it sounds basically nothing like it, its style is ultimately derived from that style of music (and yes I obviously agree that Through the Fire and the Flames is more similar to Iron Man than to Johnny B. Goode, but they're still three completely different sounding songs). I mean they're all different types of Rock, right?

[@superstan3290]

I feel like the 80s extreme metal like thrash is very heavy

[@althealligator1467]

@@santaisgruntinginmycloset9422 That's exactly the thing: 1970 Back Sabbath (basically their best known work, their sound is different after) sounds way closer to Led Zeppelin or even Steppenwolf than to everything post Metallica. Led Zep is often referred to as Blues Rock, but it's just so easy to throw innumerable terms around to describe songs as specifically as you can; but I'll give you the best term to describe the genre of a song: the damn name of the song. If Sabbath is Metal, then every else after isn't, it's something else derived from Metal. Sub genres are a flimsy concept that's mainly supported by people wanted to say they belong to or participate in a specific culture, which is very understandable. You can't put songs into phylogenetic trees the way you would animals, for example. Every mammal descends from one common ancestor, the prototypical "mammal," which was a reptile, and like all other reptiles, descends from one common prototypical "reptile" ancestor, and so on and so forth. It's really easy to put every animal into categories and sub categories, but songs just don't work like that. A song has specific characteristics, but those extend way beyond one prototypical genre, its not like songs descend from one common ancestor. Every Rock song isn't a direct descendent of Maybellene, they're a blend of influences that extend across all of music, and can be completely original.

@@piotrlangtvedt fair enough. Don’t get me wrong I loved the early Queen, grew up on it. Keep Yourself Alive, Tie Your Mother Down, White Man (pretty heavy). And Get Down Make Love is badass. I just feel there were heavier “metal” songs out there. I always viewed Queen as hard arena rock early on 👍

@@jeffreyparks2371 I am ok with Queen on the list. But I think "Burn" would be a better pick for 1974. Or do you have other suggestions? I would put Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love or Uriah Heep's Gypsy in 1970 instead of Paranoid. And Children Of The Grave in 1971. Otherwise I think it's a fair list until 1991 - the newer bands and songs I don't know, don't listen to modern metal. Maybe I would put Accept on this list as well. And one more thing - I would start the list in 1965 or so, not in 1970. There are a lot of great heavy tunes in those years too by The Yardbirds, Blue Cheer, Hendrix.

Hallowed be thy name will be forever the best Heavy Metal song ever.
