Today I was chatting with a buddy @ work and he mentioned he had never heard of Heavy Metal (I was as shocked as you are reading this) and was wondering if I could recommend a few songs to give him a feeling of the genre. I went with the following:
1. Queensryche - Queen of the Reich
2. Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name
3. Judas Priest - Painkiller
4. Metallica - Master & Sad But True
5. Slayer - Raining Blood and,
6. Megadeth - Holy Wars
I figure each of these give a good indication of what metal is and what it sounds like - from the harmony guitars, crazy vocals, insane drumming and just being downright HEAVY. Anyone have any others that truly exemplify the metal genre?
