I would argue that position is actually Beethoven's. He was the one that said, "fuck it, time to make real music," and fathered the romantic era because music from the classical period wasn't expressive enough, with all the musical rules that had to be followed and formalities that had to be made. The dude literally reinvented the symphony four times(symphonies 3,5,6,9), so much so that some composers were afraid to write symphonies after his ninth because they knew they couldn't make them as good.

Not a metalhead really but I have all their albums and love them.

I miss Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin on this list. Although many people see Zeppelin as something like proto-metal. The Thing is: most people who like metal just like good music i.e. music with the use of real instruments and music that (at least for the majority of songs) has some thought behind it beyond making it catchy and marketable. That's why we can also appreciate good music that is NOT metal.

I'm surprised no real blues artist was on this list as metal takes influence from both classical music and blues. Zeppelin is a perfect example.

@brottarnacke

Led Zeppelin is hard rock. Hard rock was founded by bringing more blues back into rock n’ roll. Heavy metal, in turn, started developing from hard rock while moving away from the blues again. Judas Priest is generally considered being the band that kicked the last bit of blues out of heavy metal

Grew up on a steady diet of Sabbath, Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth and the likes, I rarely listened to anything outside of rock / metal in my youth. Now I’m a lot older, I’m a huge fan of everything from throwaway pop to jazz to blues and country. Nothing is ruled out. There’s no shame in liking any sort of music, if anyone tells you there is then they are just being elitist pillocks. If you like it then it’s all good, don’t let anyone tell you different. 😀 Never admit it? It’s not something to be ashamed of. I love a good pop song from ABBA. Björk less so but still, not ashamed of it.

Somewhere around the late 70's or early 80's, I was at a metal concert in SF and the show was late getting started. The setup music was the typical music you'd hear on the rock stations of that time. The crowd was getting restless because of the delay, but they would occasionally cheer a bit if a song came on that they liked. And then, they played The Cars' "Just What I needed." The crowd went nuts! I'll never forget that. I loved metal and I loved The Cars and I was blown away at how many of the other metalheads in the audience were big Cars fans.

Brian May is friends with Tony Iommi of black Sabbath, I mean he even guested on a couple Sabbath tracks, queen may not be metal but they are Gods

So long as you enjoy what you listen to that's all that should matter, support the artists you think deserve it, but don't bash others simply because you don't enjoy them.

I listen to and love hearing Andrea Bocelli, Tito Gobi, SRV, U2, Howard Jones. Sister of Mercy, the Mission, DJ Keoki, Chemical Bros and any other music that can hit you emotionally.. We metalheads are far more eclectic than given credit.

I don’t think its bad, look at where a big majority of big bands looked for inspiration. Metallica really liked the Misfits and Samhain and funny because Glenn came from both of those bands before Danzig. I think that we should all be united in a way that we all have the same enemy, which is the mainstream media and pop music. Plus, we have Motörhead and The Plasmatics, lots of punks and metalheads love them. But that’s what I think, no need to take my essay seriously.
