Good list Mathias. Only one there I do not like is Paranoid. I've not heard much Beatles except for their standards.

Let me quote myself (yes, I am drinking)... Black Sabbath would be metal by default.

I must plug my Ayreon "Into the Electric Castle" really quick, but some might consider that metal... Let me give some more noteworthy albums...

Aerosmith "Toys in the Atttic"
ELP "Brain Salad Surgery"
Jimi Hendrix (all, but mainly) "Are You Experienced?"
Led Zeppelin "Houses of the Holy"
Pink Floyd "Dark Side of the Moon"
Chad Wackerman "The View"
Steve Vai "The Ultrazone"
Greg Howe "Greg Howe"
Richie Kotzen "Richie Kotzen"
MVP "Centrifugal Funk"
Lustmord "Heresy"
Van Halen "I"
Dave Martone "When the Aliens Come"
Guthrie Govan "Erotic Cakes"
John Coltrane "Greatest Hits"
Porcupine Tree "In Absentia"
Rush "Hemispheres"
 
If this another one of those threds thats supposed to be something about non metal bands and everyones going to list metal bands or those that preceded the metal age but were so close to metal or bands that were the foundation of metal ? Let me look back..... yep it is, runing about 50/50 so far.

Geeze guys if your gonna step outside "the metal zone" do it with more than one leg...... :erk:

Did you like their last album? They got rid of their atmospheric sound, and just did really simple(lyrically) songs. Also, did you know they broke up because the drummer killed himself? Really tragic...
