Motley Crue are basically hard pop rock. Catchy radio friendly choruses and so on. About the same level as Van Halen or AC/DC, but honestly I prefer the latter 2 bands.

Yes and though they could be considered some sort of light metal, it just doesn't fit the parameters as well as other bands in the genre

My Larpstyle determines my Derpstyle
The feeling is mutual man. Anyway, I've been a diehard metal fan for about 17 years, so I'm not exactly new to it.

Metal is like a religion, once you get engrained in your views on it, nothing can push you out of it lol

^Some of those are not metal but I'll leave it to others to point them out.
So you like trad metal and thrash. Cool, me too. But I also like death, stoner, doom, progressive and some symphonic. Part of what helped in developing my taste was exploring the various subgenres of Thrash. Death/Thrash, tech thrash etc. And you can develop a taste for doom by delving further into traditional metal. Then eventually you might find yourself enjoying harsh vocals like i do. Check out the Thrash and Trad threads.

They may be entry level but, Slayer, Judas Priest and Black Sabbath have recorded some of the best metal albums of all time. Sad Wings of Destiny easily ranks in my personal top 10, and Sin After Sin and Stained Class aren't far behind.

not really sure why people are shooting him down for calling SHOUT AT THE DEVIL metal (it's certainly at least borderline), or for that top 5 either. 'tis a pretty entry-level list overall for someone who's repeatedly claimed people here know less about metal's roots than him, but still solid enough aside from IMO a couple stumbles.
are you familiar with pentagram or sir lord baltimore, dude? (hint: you should be, mr. knowledgeable)

Not denying that. Priest, Slayer, and Sabbath are three of my top ten favorite metal bands, possibly top five.
But there's so much metal out there that lists like that look kinda basic. As Krow said, it literally looks like he simply googled "Top heavy metal bands" and copy pasted a list.
