What is the most "metal" band you can think of?

I AGREE my friend !!

BLACK SABBATH has to be there...

but I would also put

IRON MAIDEN

METALLICA

Black Sabbath invented Metal

Black Sabbath is Metal

I prefer Black Sabbath but the most metal sounding band I know of is probably Slayer. Even though I'm not one for heavy music at all even I can't deny that they can turn out some awesome riffs and play a pretty cool song.

I don't personally listen to much metal at all but my two best friends are metalheads so I get to hear it all the time.

grateful lifeless - working guy's lifeless & American splendor (thanx for itemizing this massive band) Creedence Clearwater Revival - eco-friendly River the Band - music From enormous pink Buffalo Springfield - Buffalo Springfield & Buffalo Springfield lower back Moody Blues - Days of destiny previous Bob Dylan - Nashville Skyline Janis Joplin - Pearl Jimi Hendrix - electric powered Ladyland the Bryds - Sweetheart of the Rodeo Simon & Garfunkel - Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme Joni Mitchell - women of the Canyon Van Morrison - Astral Weeks

Depends, because metal can be slow or fast, heavier or lighter.

I think I'd have to agree with you with Sabbath. They got that heavy metal sound down better than many other bands. Heavy, as the name heavy metal suggests, dark, complex.

Haha, I never really thought of Job for a Cowboy as metal. The singer's voice sounds EXACTLY like Cookie Monster, so that basically distracts all my attention.

Motorhead or Black Sabbath

Megadeth, Testament, Exodus

You're right about Black Sabbath..I guess another band that pretty much symbolizes "metal" would be Iron Maiden.

i think that is a very hard question black sabbath are like the founders of it. but the most heavy sound band i can think of is probably one of these four

napalm death

canibal corpse

deathklok

or

It has to be slayer with there very heavy and raw sound. Fast guitar and heart pounding drums. Rotting Christ is also very "metal" they are probly one of the most implemental bands I have ever heard.
