    Alice in Chains, heavy metal? Metallica is badass, can't wait for their concert with Godsmack on Friday. If you like modern metal, check out the Dillinger Escape Plan's new album, Miss Machine, it rocks.

    I wonder if there should be some qualification for what exactly is "heavy metal." I mean, I don't consider Zeppelin or Nirvana heavy metal bands. I don't think of Rush or Van Halen as metal bands either, though I know some do.

    Myself, I'll go with a few classics...

    Queensryche
    UFO
    Rainbow
    Yngwie Malmsteen
    Talas
    Dokken
    Enuff Z'Nuff
    KISS
    Tesla
    Whitesnake

    The Cult is a great band but I would not classify them as heavy metal, but more of a hard rock band same for Led Zeppelin and Alice in Chains. I would also hesitate to put Tool and A Perfect Circle in the heavy metal category - they are more of a hard progressive rock band.

    My list includes (in no particular order):

    AC/DC
    Judas Priest
    Pantera
    Black Sabbath (but only with Ozzy, also includes solo Ozzy)
    Motorhead
    Sepultura (more death metal than anything)
    Metallica (first 4 albums only)

    It'd be quicker and easier to name the ones I don't like. But you can't go wrong with the legends:

    Pantera
    Metallica
    Sabbath
    Dio
    Guns 'N Roses
    Motley Crue
    Quicksand

    Anyone looking to check out some new metal they might not have heard of should try:

    Megatechnical Mathmetal - The Dillinger Escape Plan
    Dio-esque power metal - Three Inches of Blood
    Neo-thrash - Himsa
    BEST METAL EVER- Meshuggah

    Sabbath, Sabbath, Sabbath.

    I wouldn't consider half the bands in this thread "heavy metal," but in the end: Sabbath, bloody, Sabbath.
