menawati: Metal Roots - Influential Pre-80's

menawati 10.28.13	Tried to keep this pre-1980 before thrash and all that. So Void, Napalm Death and stuff like that wont be in here. Also Manowar (viking metal influence) were 1980 formed I think so outside this.
evilford 10.28.13	great list inb4 feature
DominionMM1 10.28.13	sweet list but where's budgie?
menawati 10.28.13	nearly put Budgie in but they were pretty unpopular
Judio! 10.28.13	Sweet list, although somehow I knew all of this already haha.
Atari 10.28.13	I love the kinks
menawati 10.28.13	"Sweet list, although somehow I knew all of this already haha." Thanks, yes nothing very obscure in there. If you look at stuff after 1980 when many metal subgenres happen then it explodes a bit and all sorts of obscure stuff could be mentioned (thats why I didnt do post 1980 too much work haha)
manosg 10.28.13	This is an awesome list right here. I'll throw some names for consideration and you tell me: Saxon Blue Oyster Cult Budgie [2] Scorpions Whitesnake
manosg 10.28.13	Also, Alice Cooper. How did I forget about him?
menawati 10.28.13	thanks mano, considered most of those especially alice for influencing glam probably should have him in there, scorpions is a good shout too
menawati 10.28.13	didnt want to blithely just put all the most well known 70s metal acts, was trying to think of how influential they were
SgtPepper 10.28.13	Nice list, Mena. A lot of good stuff here. I'd put Sir Lord Baltimore in here as well. They were short-lived, but pretty heavy and even toured with Sabbath in the '70s. Anyone interested in checking them out here: youtube.com/watch?v=0yFGGXMFp0w
SgtPepper 10.28.13	also, feature :D
adarkishman 10.28.13	good list but metal sucks
slidenslip 10.28.13	^listen to this man,people
JamieTwort 10.28.13	Nice list, mena. I remember Notrap did a list like this some time ago but focused purely on metal's early influences and the foundations of the genre such as the first few albums on this list.
rockandmetaljunkie 10.28.13	Good list but you miss some important bands like Mountain and Sir Lord Baltimore. Also, I would replace Zeppelin's HoTH for with their second album. A nice effort anyways....
rockandmetaljunkie 10.28.13	Damn, this list reminded me some good stuff I wanna dig. I have heard everything this list mentions except for 1,2,9 and 30.
menawati 10.28.13	"replace Zeppelin's HoTH for with their second " didnt really think much about the albums I chose but HotH is ok I spose because it had the funk in it, Mountain and Baltimore are indeed good calls though
rockandmetaljunkie 10.28.13	"didnt really think much about the albums I chose but HotH is ok I spose because it had the funk in it" I'm pretty sure you did just that, I'm only saying that LZ II was more influential (for Metal) because it was a more guitar driven and riff-oriented album.
rockandmetaljunkie 10.28.13	I would also recommend you to listen to Link Wray. One of the first guitarists who relied exclusively in the power chord.
menawati 10.28.13	yes you're right, i couldnt be assed to check on sput whether someone had entered Led Zeppelin 2 or II tho when i typed in the album
Friday13th 10.28.13	King Crimson just based on Schizoid Man's laurels. How about Cromagnon? I found the song "Caledonia" on some rateyourmusic list and that is some insane proto-metal.
tommygun 10.28.13	great fuckin list
Jethro42 10.29.13	m/
MisterTornado 10.29.13	hard jams inc
BenMorrison 10.29.13	I would say that The Doors was influential too Listen to: Five to One Break on Through Not to Touch the Earth
greg84 10.29.13	Great list. I'm ashamed to admit that I don't know some of these.
Tyrael 10.29.13	lol greg
KILL 10.29.13	awesome list, could never get into 28 n 29 tho
deathofasalesman 10.29.13	19. The Ripper. Metal.
Nagrarok 10.29.13	Nice list. 4 and 15 are two bands I still need to get familiar with.
rockandmetaljunkie 10.29.13	I think you'll love 4 Nag.
VinVal 10.30.13	the beatles' "helter skelter" was one of the first "Hard rock" songs ever recorded, i'm sure the appeal had some influence on the genre. Cool list, I always wanted know if Kiss' facepaint and general attire had an influence on the early BM bands
pjquinones747 10.30.13	Master list is master list
rockandmetaljunkie 10.30.13	"Kiss' facepaint and general attire had an influence on the early BM bands" The attire as well as the whole concept of their lives surely had an impact on the Shock Rock genre, if such a musical field exists.
pyroflare77 10.30.13	No Flower Travellin' Band?
MO 10.30.13	great list dude
SCREAM! 10.31.13	Pretty good list but I was one major gripe: "Black Sabbath Black Sabbath The first true metal band. The blues has been all squeezed out." The blues influence in Iommi's guitar work (especially a lot of his solos) is HUGE. No way did Sabbath squeeze the blues out. They just took the bluesy, hard rock formula and made it sound a lot more sinister. I'd say Priest is where the jazz/blues influences pretty much disappeared (disregarding the fact that basically every rock band is an evolution of blues)
SCREAM! 10.31.13	wow, I have one major gripe*
menawati 10.31.13	ok SCREAM, obviously blues based guitarists influenced Iommi and he used the blues scale but I stand by my statement, he played in fifths much more and he did that tritone thing and the music took on a much darker edge
Drpibb 11.01.13	where's budgie?!
InbredJed 11.02.13	sweet list but where's budgie? [652464]
DrHouseSchuldiner 11.02.13	Great list needs Sir Lord Baltimore's Kingdom Come
InbredJed 11.02.13	The Stooges so hard!
SrightryEpic 11.03.13	seconding Flower Travellin' Band

JamieTwort 11.05.13	Flower Travellin' Band are great yeah, particularly Satori.
Itsonlyme 11.13.17	Great list, although like any other never 'complete'. Sums up nearly all the bands I like(d) from 60' and 70's.
