Yup, Paul again. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

I have moved these Beatles polls from the Prog Polls section to the
Proto Prog and Prog Related section. I know that poll-making (using that
forum software) is disabled in the Proto-Prog and Prog Related lounge,
and I don't mind moving the odd one, but I would rather not move a
bunch. In the future, if you choose to do such a series of polls of a
band or bands not included in a prog category please place it in General
Music Discussions instead, or alternately do it in the Proto Prog and
Prog Related section without the poll options. You could still ask the
same questions and manage to do it in one thread (one doesn't need that
poll voting program to create polls, people can do it by asking a
question and having people write the response, of course). The ability to make polls was disabled in the Proto Prog and Prog Related Lounge to discourage a lot of emphasis on non-Prog polls at the board (and possibly for some bandwidth reasons) -- so, yeah, moving this rather defeats the purpose of having had it disabled in the first place. Considering that Yoko Ono is listed in all of these polls rather says to me that perhaps I should have moved it to Just For Fun (George Martin, who is often called the fifth Beatle, would have been a more logical choice). As for who is the most metal: Yoko Ormolu (not funny, I know, but I don't feel gilt). |

"Revolution" is from John, isn't it?
I'll vote for John. |

| I would say George, if only for his spiky guitar soloing here and there, but I never once thought of 'metal' styling when listening to the few Beatles things I own. |

Yoko's early '70s stuff is as proto-metal as it gets.... her bands sound like Ash Ra Tempel or Amon Duul II in their early years. Great shrieking over Krautrock jams.....never thought I would say this, but I enjoy Yoko's first few albums more than any other Beatle's solo stuff.....and I'm a big George solo fan. ------------- I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there..... |

John Lennon. I'm not sure it's quite metal, but I Want You (She's So Heavy) is certainly one of their heaviest songs. He also wrote, Everybody's Got Something to Hide (except for me and my Monkey) and that has some metal-esque guitar. ------------- More heavy prog, please! |

George because of his willingness to use feedback early on. Also, he was the first guitar hero and you can't have metal without a guitar at the forefront. ------------- a.k.a. H.T. http://riekels.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow - http://riekels.wordpress.com |

Paul should win this, but "Helter Skelter" is hardly the "first Metal rock song ever written". Ever hear of Blue Cheer? Or the Amboy Dukes? Or Moby Grape? Come on.

 absolutely I mentioned the same somewhere above, to me Helter Skleter was the first metal track ever written :) Paul McCartney was my obvious choice too.Big hug to you, Bitterblogger

If you mean "to you", as in it's the first one you heard, fine. Historically, while early, it is not the first written. Cheers

 curious now, who do you perceive as being the first metal song? hugs

Frankly, I think you could make a case for Black Sabbath starting metal, but since their ideas (besides their muse) came from elsewhere, I'll go with "Seven and Seven Is" by Love, from 1967. I mentioned earlier three other sources one could consider "metal", although I wouldn't argue that they might be instead "hard rock"-- Amboy Dukes' "Young Love", Blue Cheer's "Gimme Love" and Moby Grape's "Hey Grandma", also from 1967.
