Alright, in looking at my proto-metal list, one thing occurs to me. The Stooges may not have been considered a metal band, but Funhouse was more "metal" than several of these albums. It may be pigeonholed as proto-punk, or garage rock, or whatever, but can anyone honestly say that UFO makes them want to bang their head more than Funhouse? ****, they used blues rock much the same as Deep Purple or Led Zeppelin, yet their connection to punk makes putting them on a metal list feel wrong somehow. Thoughts?
Proto-Metal
1. Black Sabbath - Paranoid
2. Deep Purple - Machine Head
3. Budgie - Never Turn Your Back On a Friend
4. Judas Priest - Stained Class
5. Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV
6. AC/DC - Back In Black
7. Blue Oyster Cult - Secret Treaties
8. Rainbow - Rising
9. Sir Lord Baltimore - Kingdom Come
10. UFO - Lights Out
Note to n00bz: Not a new battle, just a confab on a future one.
