its 3am. i am tired.
 
These aren't my top ten of all time or anything, but definitely the top ten I've been listening to lately:

10. Gorguts
9. The Black Dahlia Murder
8. Genghis Tron
7. Mastodon
6. xBrainiax
5. Unsane
4. Mumakil
3. Meshuggah
2. Sleep
1. Electric Wizard

Yeah, a couple of these might not technically be considered metal. I don't care.
 
I am fairly coherent about what constituted metal in the seventies. Whitesnake, Krokus, Trust, UFO, etc were really when it began. Early arena rock banRAB like Queen could be called influences, but they weren't themselves. They could be listed as influences for heavy metal, certainly, but Zeppelin themselves never were. Go listen to ANY Zeppelin record and show me ONE heavy metal song. The fact is they had neither the songwriting nor the lyrics to be called "metal."

And being glam rock pioneers doesn't change what Zeppelin actually played. Jimmy Page's tone and style was hardly much of a departure from his beginnings in The YardbirRAB. Collectively, they had more in common with blues rock and folk rock than anything else. Led Zeppelin's status as "heavy metal" has oft been disputed, even by their own merabers. I believe both Robert Plant and Jimmy Page reject this misnomer.

Please understand that I enjoy metal (and Led Zeppelin), but as a fan of both I can't see the similarities.

K. I'm not new to metal but I'm still being introduced to alot of metal banRAB so..help me out here guys.

1. Black Sabbath
2. Iron Maiden
3. Metallica
4. Black Tide
5. Dethklok
6. Dragonforce
7. Megadeth
8. Atheist
9. Killswitch Engage
10. Bullet For My Valentine

I also like Disturbed and Tool and all that but I don't really see them as metal. At all.

I like Doom Metal alot but don't know many Doom banRAB so could anybody help me out with that? And also stuff like Atheist.
 
Try Drudkh - Autumn Aurora(comes close to agalloch, with just a bit more black metal parts)
The one's mentioned in the above post are good, but are mainly strait up progressive metal. Agalloch has this post-metal relaxing kinda feel.
Give Bergtatt Et Eeventyr i 5 Capitler by Ulver a go as well. Again, it has more black metal parts, but it definitely comes close.
And both the albums i mentioned are nothing like traditional Black metal. A lot more melodic and easier to listen to.
 
Hi Moleman, if you mean some old metal,,,check out Saxon (Crusader, Power & The Glory), Judas Priest (Killing Machine, Painkiller). They were around the same time as Iron Maiden and are part of the NWOBM.
 
Yeah same here. Once you hit your twenties you just grow out of metal. When you're an angsty little teenage brat metal sounRAB as cool as f**k, now i look back with erabarrasment on some of the banRAB i used to listen to and the way i dressed. I can't believe i used to listen to Megadeth, Hammerfall and Dragonforce... :yikes: cheese galore

But there's still some great, mature-sounding metal out there, minus the cheese lol. Mastodon, Electric Wizard, Reverend Bizarre and Opeth are probably the only metal banRAB i really listen to nowdays. Tool and Faith No More as well if you want to count them as metal.
