Correct.
Some would say 'Van Halen-1' is a metal CD...a few songs do have some metal tones or riffs, but I still would say overall its hardrock. That being said, when 'VH1' came out in 78' it changed, shook up and had a major impact on the rock scene. Kinda like the way some old school metal bands shocked the scene.
IMO, Van Halen is the greatest hardrock band!

One way to find a load of bands is youtube. I suppose it's obvious but you know, you don't even have to limewire anything and if you do like some band the ones at the side will probably be good for you as well, it even works with somewhat obscure stuff now, there's so much on there. I end up going through some trail of songs I like and then download some tracks, then maybe get the album cheap off ebay for about 4 pounds.
I love priest and I think Maiden are good but I rarely find myself actually listening to them.
A better way of going about it would be saying what you do like so people can make recommendations based on that rather than you try and fail to get into some acquired taste metal that is partly rated because of how good it was for the time, which I suppose you could say is irrelevant. I find it interesting though but whatever.
I really struggle to get into Led zep. I only like about 3 songs.
Glad you mentioned Rush. For the longest time I only listened to both of these bands and nothing else...they owned me.

If nothing else, Rush gets beat out in both the hard rock and prog rock categories by Jethro Tull, no contest.
I'd rather listen to all the following hard rock acts over those two:
Aerosmith
AC/DC
Queen
Deep Purple
Mountain
Cactus
...among others.

Prefering to listen to the bands you mentioned is understandable and you could make the case that any are one of / or the greatest rock band. I would just put and prefer Rush and VH over any of those bands.
I'm not a Tull fan at all, but respect thier place in music. To say its "no contest" in comparing Rush to them...thats a bit much.

Haha, I'm a hardcore Tull fan. I see them as the epitome of hard progressive rock.
I've never been a huge fan of Rush or Van Halen. I personally think that calling either one of them the best hard rock band is a bit of a stretch. I can understand you liking them the best, but... whatever.
Actually, I would think that most people would rank a band like Aerosmith or AC/DC as the "best hard rock act."

I'd definitely pick Zeppelin or Tull over any of those bands. I wouldn't pick Aerosmith or Queen, but I think that a lot of people would choose them.
