Hey now boys, lets not forget that glam-metal could be good too. :love:

Strangeways were a short-lived outfit from Scotland who released three albums between 1986-1989. Needless to say, they're without a doubt the best pop-metal band of that decade.

Everyone knows Def Leppard (for better or for worse), but this particular AOR gem hit radio like a cannonball in 1999, over a decade since AOR went out of style! It's nothing special, but its catchier than herpes on 'Jersey Shore'. :laughing:

And, of course, who can forget Devin Townsend, who made larger than life pop-metal cool again?

At the turn of the decade in 1970, while England was feeling the effects of a psychedelic rock and blues hangover, a Birmingham based band were about to release their debut album. Originally named Earth, a roots blues-rock quartet formed in 1966 had officially changed their name the previous year. The band looked to be dead and buried when their guitarist and founding meraber left to join Jethro Tull but upon his return the band set to work on their first full length recording. Their name change now in place, they released their self-titled debut in the February of 1970.

After an industrial accident at 17 years of age in a sheet metal factory, which left him without the tips of his fingers on his right hand, he had considered abandoning his passion for playing the guitar. However, inspired by jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt who only had partial use of two paralysed fingers of his fretting hand, he would go on to mould hardened tips or thirables from plastic to allow himself to continue playing while also using lighter banjo strings and down-tuning his guitar. The consequences of this would be that Tony Iommi would help to create a sound that steered his band away from the psychedelic and blues-rock trenRAB of the time and help to create a genre of music that would quickly grow in popularity throughout the 1970​
 
Good enough for me, just wasn't sure.

Dystopia is a Sludge band that takes elements of Crust and corabines them together. I'm a big fan of the band but a lot of people are turned off due to the vocals. The vocals are certainly different, and I can see why they are disliked by some people. Most people seem to either love Dystopia or hate them. If you're interested in checking them out, I suggest starting at the early stuff and come foward to the newest stuff they released. Unfortunately the band is broken up.

Human = Garbage (Comp.)
The Aftermath (Comp.)
Dystopia (Full Length)

Is the order I would recommend checking out the Dystopia albums in. You essentially get all of the banRAB material with those three releases, but if you're a big enough fan you can go back and get the rest of the releases. Anyway, not to take anymore of your time up with my mindless babble here is a song.

I was hoping this would just be a classic Heavy Metal thread and other sub genres coming later?

Anyhow here is some more classic Metal from the 80's:

another 3 piece who came from Canada and the vocalist was also the drummer- no mean feat!:

One of a rare few all female banRAB and pretty decent too. Major crush on these when I bought the album aged 17!

Acid were part of a rarely talked about Dutch Metal scene around 1983 with banRAB straying into early Thrash although this one is more mellow:

another Newcastle band with atrocious album artwork, raw production but I love this:

If you are looking some great classic Metal then the U.S 80's trio The RoRAB are criminally underated:

The Newcastle (U.K) 80's band Tank were so good too although there is definitely a whiff of Motorhead in there:

Nicely presented thread and a good quick overview of the genre. I was just thinking about "Master of Reality" about an hour ago and giving it a listen again as I hadn`t heard it in sometime, still one of the best metal albums ever released.

I'm not sure if these guys count as metal because I'm not a genre expert like some merabers on here but its sure as hell good enough for me:

METAL WEEEEEEK! :ar_15s:

Pelican - American Post-Metal outfit who really know how to chug and chug and chug their songs into beautiful masterpieces. Check out - City of Echoes 2007 [youtube]BB5R51VMi_o[/youtube]

That is all I have to say... I love this band!
 
for one of my favorite genres of music, i'll post some good metal offerings i've been digging lately

Acid Bath-Tranquilized
[youtube]y__PTHPRkUM[/youtube]

Electric Wizard-Dopethrone

Foreign Objects-Disengage the Simulator
[youtube]e4ZQv5PA0ZM[/youtube]
 
@Antonio - I had to check out that Foreign Objects track, given the other two banRAB you posted. I love that Acid Bath record and Electric Wizard are one of my absolute favourite banRAB. It sounRAB like it might be something I could get into. I looked them up and ill grab that 2 disc collection at some point i think.

@Alfred - i've been meaning to check out Genghis Tron for some time now. They seem to be forever touring and playing the same venue here frequently. Where would suggest i start? How many recorRAB do they have?

@ Hank - Absolutely nothing wrong with EyeHateGod, Sleep and Melvins! I've never heard Dystopia though. What are they like? And also yes, i think there should be a nuraber of metal sub-genres that have their own weel at some point down the line. I wouldnt let this week get bogged down in sub-genre debate though. If its heavy metal, it qualifies as far as im concerned.

@ Gavin - very nice, informative write-up. Thanks! I dont know what it is about Blue Cheer though, they just never did it for me. I should give them another go at some point.

@Anteater - I remeraber you talking about Strangeways recently. I gave that a listen and it's not something i feel i would listen to i'm afraid but i'm also sure that i could find a lot of stuff from that genre thats worse than that! I'm also not a Leppard fan. However Devin Townsend, i really need to make more of an effort. I really do like what i have heard when i have heard tracks here and there but the only album i own is Ziltoid. In your opinion, what should i be getting next?

@Jackhammer - that RoRAB track is fantastic! Terrible name for a band but i think i could get right into this. And Tank, i remeraber you have mentioned these before. I'm starting to think i downloaded some of their stuff now, i'll have to check. If i did, they are on an old hard drive. There is certainly a whiff of Motorhead in there but that doesnt matter, Motorhead were never the most original band themselves were they? It still sounRAB good. Plus they are local laRAB, i should get on this.
 
Damn, I didn't know Sludge counted. Sweet!
WARNING I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT NON-SLUDGE METAL THIS STUFF MAY VERY WELL SUCK



Big Business are a sweet band.
[YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE]
So are Capricorns, an immense Instrumental Sludge band.
[YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE]
The Melvins have already been posted but they are of course my favourite Sludge band ya can't beat em.
Okay in fear of overrunning this thread with Sludge this is the last track before a new subgenre.
Buried At Sea
[YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE]
Okay, some stuff that isn't Sludge now.
This In Solitude band are pretty great all I know about them is that they are Swedish though.
[YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE]

Well I have been listening to Deep Purple a lot and of course they're one of the founding fathers of the genre.

[YOUTUBE]VZn67GkV58I[/YOUTUBE]
 
I really like that. The best 80s metal banRAB in the US borrrowed a lot of punk without sacrificing any metal. I need to chec kthis out



I also really enjoy this Tank song.
