I would consider Black Sabbath, along with Led Zeppelin, the first "heavy metal" bands.
You can hear their influence in a lot, if not most, bands of today. Both of them were so diverse.
I, personally, would consider AC/DC as the GnR of the 70's and 80's. A kick ass Rock and Roll band, but not really Heavy Metal.

I go to the general "Pop/Rock" section, and low and behold!! NOTHING!!
I happened to walk past the heavy metal section...and there sits Back in Black...as well as all the other AC/DC albums...and also my Black Sabbeth I was looking for.
Now, that shit is classic rock!! Not heavy metal!! WTF??? Anyone agree?
