Awesome. I am seeing a lot of stuff I need to look into.

Anyone else listen to Machine Head, cause no one else has mentioned them. They aren't prog, but they are just some excellent musicians putting out some good heavy metal.

I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress . . .

I saw them live in Paris, and they seemed to me very boring, evben so that I decided to leave the showroom after half an hour... I even preferred Napalm Death's performance (opening band). Better listen to the eponymous album by Deep Purple ...

Metal albums I would recommend :

Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising force (actually I dug it just because it features Barriemore Barlow, ex-Jethro Tull member, behind the drumkit)

Annihilator : "Alice in hell"

Overkill : "horrorscope"

Coroner : "mental vortex"

Megadeth : "rust in peace"

iron maiden : "seventh son of a seventh son"

voivod : "the outer space", "voivod" (their last opus is very good)

the snakes : "once bitten" (a tribute band to whitesnake and david coverdale, fronted by the excellent Jorn Lande, later in ARK)

metallica : "...and justice for all"

paradise lost : "icon"

"Magma was the very first gothic rock band" (Didier Lockwood)

on most of your choices (unfortunately, Slipknots 'Iowa' rates as the worst metal album Ive heard to date)

Interested to hear what other metal rates in your favour.

Other faves of mine include: Strapping young lad; My Dying Bride (when they stick to 'doom'); Cradle of Filth (from when they finally mixed that piercing organ to the background and decided to become a metal band (around 2000-2001 from memory)); Celtic Frost (thou I havent heard them for a while); King Diamond; and some of the old faves like Black Sabbath; Motorhead (yes they r roc n roll); and Metallica (up to and including ... And justice for all)

I really like this jacket, but the sleeves are much too long.

Plenty of metal bands doing progressive. Don't settle for that verse, verse, chorus crap.

Budgie aren't really metal - they're more hard rock but they influenced many future metal bands. I really like the early's 70's/ late 60s proto-metal like Blue Cheer, Budgie, Sir Lord Baltimore, Led Zeppelin I, Trapeze, Leaf Hound, Iron Butterfly, Dust, Jerusalem, etc

You are right about Budgie ! Leaf Hound and Sir Lord Baltimore are excellent bands . Do you know Buffalo ? Their album called Volcanic Rock is great and dates from the same period you are talking about. ( sorry for the off-topic comment )

From the Netherlands and you know of Buffalo... now that's surprising. Their debut mentioned above was very Sabbathish. Their next release was trash. Only made two, I believe. Great singer.

Another for the off-topic- Budgie: Australian bird, American band; Buffalo American animal, Australian band.. sorry, it's late.
