You may well laugh, billsac, but I think you may have something there - the omnipresent 'Stairway.......'; think of it - 9 minutes+ long, 12 string guitars, mellotron, soft and loud sections, odd time signatures & everyone's heard it so many times, they're sick of it - now if that ain't prog, I dunno what is.

Spooky Tooth - Spooky Two, particularly the track "Evil Woman" (once you've got over the crap vocals).

"In-A-Gadda..." is heavy psychedelia - it's not really metal. Just because Slayer once covered it...

Blue Cheer were the first true metal band, IMO - but I'd accept the argument that they were the first grunge band too.

No metal track worth it's salt would talk about taking anyone by the hand - unless it was to a satanic ritual  The name "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" is reportedly from a rather stoned person attempting to say "In the Garden of Eden".

Blue Cheer were the first true metal band, IMO - but I'd accept the argument that they were the first grunge band too. You can quite clearly hear the influence they had on Zeppelin, Sabbath, Purple et al on Vincebus Eruptum.

i'd say that lark's tongues in aspic and red are  prog metal albums, especially for the years they came out....but  talking about prog metal i believe that watchtower's energetic dissasembly (1985) was the 1st prog metal record followed by ryche's rage for order a year later.

mmm maybe the major influences of prog metal is the sound of led zeppellin, but a band who really is prog metal is queensryche...

i think...

I agree with the Blue Cheer but even though i love Blue Oyster cult i dont think theyre too proggish. Well you guys said pretty much everyone I could think of. When was Blues Image out? But they'ye not too proggish though. Are Vanilla Fudge metal????

Almost agreed. I only have some doubts with Iron Butterfly - Heavy, from 1968. Not sure about the prog in this album, but it's certainly the very beginning of heavy sound.
