I've delibretaly kept to a 1960s /  70s list to avoid using bands like METALLICA, IRON MAIDEN etc as I want a Great Poll and a Challanging One.

Strictly non 80s and 90s and 00s

Intriguing; like Snow Dog, I don't consider many of these groups to be true heavy metal.

Although my favourite group are present, Uriah Heep, they aren't really heavy metal so they don't merit a vote.

For me, the three greatest TRUE metal bands were Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden.

However, as Sabbath are the only one present, they'll do!

These guys invented metal and coined the phrase.

Hard rock/heavy rock/heavy metal were pretty much interchangeable in the 70's.

Progman where's Rainbow?????Cry

No "Motor City Madman" either!!!!!

No AC/DC,Thin Lizzy,UFOConfused

No Bachman Turner Overdrive?LOL

There were many great bands but the best I saw live were Led Zep.

Scorpions were a good band in the 70's,surprisingly.Best band i ever saw play Bolton Institute of Technology at any rate.LOLUli Jon Roth and Michael Schenker both played for this seminal German metal band.

Montrose's eponymous first album is great in a bubblegum kind of way-"Rock The Nation",

"gonna shake it and I aint gonna break it! Aint gonna quit til it all comes out!!!!!!!!!!"Embarrassed

Exactly. If I can't have Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, I'll take Sabbath or Deep Purple.

We are not in the 70's anymore Reed,these bands aint considered metal anymore. Times change and the meaning of metal has too. If I remember correctly The Troggs were called the first Heavy Metal band, they wouldn't be considered metal now though would they.

The first ''Metal'' song for musicologists is, if I recall correctly, ''Sympathy for the Devil'', but I guess all of these -had- some heavy metal like sounds.

Purple it is, for me.

Out of those, Led Zep, but I would have voted for Rainbow or Thin Lizzy if they were there

The Scorpions were fantastic - but Motorhead have always been the ultimate "proper" heavy metal band IMO.

How could you exclude the 1980s and the NWOBHM

I know you were trying to exclude Iron Maiden and Metallica - but they're just as "proper" IMO, especially Metallica, who changed the entire landscape of metal - twice, before they jumped the shark big time. I would have drawn the line at the mid 1980s. Since then it's generally been more of the same old same old.

Those bands really aren't heavy metal. If you were shooting for the 70s, why not the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal Bands?

Diamond Head, Saxon, Tygers Of Pan Tayne, I'm pretty sure most of them did work in the mid to late 70s.

YES!!!

Fantastic bands!!!

...and Gillan, Raven, Praying Mantis, Riot, April Wine, Van Halen - even Def Leppard produced good stuff back then.

Where's my copy of Axe Attack...?
