And as the KINKS are considered the gandfathers of heavy metal, how can I not like it? It all stems from Dave's rocking solo in "You Really Got Me". Or so many rock scholars say.... personally, as much as I love the KINKS, Chuck Berry's guitar was the beginning of true metal.

Let's not forget that a possibly apocryphal story of the beginning of the term "Heavy Metal" came from one reporter's review of a Jimi Hendrix concert. He described Jimi's playing as "heavy metal falling from the sky."
Now I have to agree with a lot of the people here that don't like the "cookie monster" stuff. Those bands are not better musicians simply because they play faster, don't have a singer, and nobody's heard of them. I bet few if any could match Slayer for speed, or Zeppelin or Sabbath for songwriting and I've listened to quite a bit of it of that stuff since a local college radio station plays nothing but metal of all types.
How could a metal thread not mention Manowar? That's a band that needs to be mentioned for true metal, as well as Judas Priest.
