Check out Louder than Love. Tends to be their most overlooked album, but it's solid throughout.

Was it that I prefer glam rock to glam metal or that I prefer David Bowie to Sabbath and Priest?

Never actually listened to this band before. Just checked them out and they're not bad.

I wouldn't think it would be at least not outside metal circles. David Bowie had a very impressive run from Space Oddity to Lets Dance with mostly masterpieces and great albums and a few average at worst albums. I'd say at their best Bowie and Sabbath are equal but Bowie wins purely on having more great albums to offer and being more diverse even though he might not be as influential in his own genre.

They took me some getting used to probably because they reminded me a lot of the 90s grunge and alt rock I didn't care for but after a while they really grew on me.

Yeah, I've been trying to branch backwards from grunge into 80's alt rock and post hardcore stuff. Tends to be pretty hit or miss whether I like a band or not, but some definitely take a few listens to grow on you.

Alice in Chains, Nirvana and Soundgarden are infinitely more metal than most of the garbage pop rock bands that you guys have been name dropping for the past few pages. That cant even be argued.

... yes, because Kiss and Motley Crue sound "sonically" more metal to your ears than those bands, right? 
please, get lost.

I know, it's the sound that counts.
But still, I know which one I think is more metal.

And which one of those two bands sounds more metal to you? Soundgarden are more metal in every possible way.

Well, they aren't good. But yeah I guess they are metal.
Can something be excluded from being metal just for being bad?

Except for maybe some Melvins-y stuff on the first album, Nirvana is not remotely metal. Has nothing to do with heaviness or anything, but rather that they were simply derived from punk music. Even the poppiest hair metal bands have more in common with metal than Nirvana does.

Yeah Nirvana and Pearl Jam represent the less metal influenced side of Grunge, although Bleach does have some cool riffs on it. Skin Yard and Gruntruck are probably the most obviously metal bands of the scene, but their songwriting is a little repetitive.
