I am embarrassed to say this, but the first metal band I ever listened to was POD. I came a long way from that terrible phase.

I was brought up on Zeppelin, and I still find some of their albums "heavy" for a lack of a better word, but even the bands mentioned don't want to be labeled as metal, and neither do I. Rush, Thin Lizzy and Zeppelin all do fit into their own niches in the classic/progressive rock spectrum, not to say they don't incorporate some stylistic similarities to metal.

It was undoubtedly Metallica, followed by Pantera and Maiden. I never went through a nu-metal phase.

I think it's obvious most of us listened to Maiden or Sabbath for the first time

my first taste of metal came in the form of Pantera....later on I went through my Nu-metal phase....I'm not ashamed to say that I still hold onto some Nu-metal bands and listen to them purely for nostaglic reasons

Metallica. I'm happy to say I never had a nu-metal phase either.
