Oh I have issues with THIS list! The position of Queensrÿche's Operation Mindcrime, multiple Crötley Mü picks and NO Rush.

Predicted picks 1 and 2 in half second, was exactly right. Too easy.

 

Also, Van Halen? Metal??? Not really quite even hair metal... which apparently counts on this list for mere namesake.

 

Also, Images at 97, and Mindcrime at 67? Yeah, right.

 

But yay, Anthrax made the top 20!

I've got no problem with Van Halen being considered metal. What else would you call Eddie's guitar tone?

It's officially called the brown sound and it's not metal. Neither is rush for the other poster.

I get how influential they are to the genre (and almost anything with a guitar solo in it), but they are definitely not metal in my book. Hard rock for sure. To me, that's like putting an AC/DC or an Aerosmith album on the list.

Metal is a debatable term. Clearly even people who read this forum don't know what it is.

 

Metal has too many subgenres. It makes opinions quite varied as to what is and isn't metal. But if bands like Poison and Rat are considered metal then you can damn sure call Van Halen that.

With that line of thinking, then no metal existed pre-1980s ...

 

Rush is not only metal, but they helped created the genre, the attitude and the belief ..

 

They are the priests

 

Without Rush, there is no Celtic Frost and no Voivod

Not completely. But listen to their 70s stuff. Plenty of metal style riffs and moments. VT, S&A and CA have a lot of metal going on as well.

I disagree that having as huge of an influence on the genre as Rush or Van Halen did gives a band a pass into being metal. I get how heavy Rush were in the seventies. By 70s standards, 2112 and Cygnus book one are basically metal in parts, sure. But in general, 70s Rush is not metal, they're progressive hard rock. Dio once said the real difference between a metal band and any old rock band is the attitude. Sabbath had the metal attitude, Priest had it. Rush had a different attitude, one which was definitely not metal, it was just Rush. Totally unique.
