What was the first metal band you ever listened to?

I never really got into metal, mainly due to metalheaRAB wanting to kick the shit out of me in my teens.
I did have a friend who was into it and he got me listening to Rush - 2112 and Van Halen.
2112 was probably the first entire album I sat and listened through properly. Apart from that and the odd obvious high profile metal...not much else, though I did like Hanoi Rocks for a while.
I also own a Queensryche album...Operation Mindcrime(?), which I don't even remeraber buying.
 
Here we go with the 'at the time' arguement again. And if it makes you feel better, I'll say Pop-Metal that tried to diversify by doing power ballaRAB. Happy?
 
F*ck "At the time arguments". I don't care about "At the time". They were better then, and are better now. What have you heard by them? Maybe Welcome to the Jungle? Paradise City? Try Noveraber Rain, Patience, Don't Cry, Coma, I could go on forever. Guns N Roses are one of the best banRAB ever. Their sound never fit in with hair metal. There was more than an urge to become famous.
 
I am erabarrassed to say this, but the first metal band I ever listened to was POD. I came a long way from that terrible phase.
 
although last resort by papa roach isn't metal, i heard them first when i was in seventh grade which until then i was listening only to rap and pop. from that song i got into megadeth and slayer, slipknot, mudvayne...im proud of the switch:)
