Apollo 02.25.12	This needs to be featured good job man
DominionMM1 02.25.12	you really went all out for this list, huh?
TheNotrap 02.25.12	Thanks a lot Apollo. @Dominion Yep, I'm diggin the 60's proto-metal stuff.
ChuckyTruant 02.25.12	Forgot Rush.
xenocide. 02.25.12	This needs to be featured[2]
ChuckyTruant 02.25.12	Oh wait pre sabbath. Nevermind about Rush
TheNotrap 02.25.12	If you follow the songs it's funny how we realize Metal will happen with or without Sabbath's debut.
JamieTwort 02.25.12	Awesome list dude.
TheNotrap 02.25.12	Thanks a lot JT. If you wish listen to the songs you don't know. You will love all of them for sure.
JamieTwort 02.26.12	I will do. This needs to be featured [3]
Motiv3 02.26.12	awesome list.
JamieTwort 02.26.12	If I was to add a few: Taste - Sugar Mama Black Cat Bones - Good Lookin' Woman Free - The Hunter
LegendofPittman 02.26.12	Freaking awesome list.
Nagrarok 02.26.12	Nicely done, You Really Got Me is probably the earliest form of a metal riff.
TheNotrap 02.26.12	Thanks a lot guys. When I get home I will check those 3 JT, specially Black Cat Bones. Agreed Nagrarok, that's the reason I pick You Really Got Me to start the list.
TheSpirit 02.26.12	wow, awesome list dude.
TheNotrap 02.26.12	Thanks Spirit. Good calls indeed JT. Props for Gallagher's vocals and loud distortion, definitely proto-metal stuff.
TheNotrap 02.26.12	Guys don't miss some songs here like: The 31 Flavors - Distortions of Darkness http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pb-7Gw6iGs Listen to this pre-sabbath loud distorted guitar Jacula - Triumphatus Sad http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rg5U1-nQHsE 60's true Heavy Metal stuff The Open Mind - Magic Potion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RQM4r9mo6o Probably the introduction of double-bass drums in rock music
Emim 02.26.12	pos
BigHans 02.27.12	sick list dude. Why the fuck isnt this featured?
TheNotrap 02.27.12	Thinking the same thing...oh well...the users approval are more than enough for me. Thanks Hans.
Dreamflight 02.27.12	Awsome. Keep it coming dude.
KILL 02.27.12	sweet
stabbler 02.27.12	nice work
Inveigh 02.27.12	this should be featured asap, list fucking rules props for all of the inclusions, but especially Blue Cheer
TheNotrap 02.27.12	Thanks guys.
Jethro42 02.27.12	Best list ever. Very well done, sir!
TheNotrap 02.27.12	Thanks buddy! When you have some time check the songs you don't know, I believe you will like most of them.
Jethro42 02.27.12	Also Why the fuck isnt this featured? [123]
Jethro42 02.27.12	Sup we posted at the very same time haha. Sure I will do. Have you heard that summertime Blues version yet? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea0759BeJ2U
TheNotrap 02.27.12	Yeah, I believe it's a rockabilly anthem right?
TheNotrap 02.27.12	And check this out: Aphrodite's Child - Magic Mirror http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cl8EdOVFr1E Did you know Demis Roussos did some serious hard rock/prog in the 60's?
Jethro42 02.27.12	''Yeah, I believe it's a rockabilly anthem right?'' Possibly, I couldnt tell. I think it's the best version ever though. Thanks for the link, I'll check it out later on. Never heard about Dennis Roussos.
rockandmetaljunkie 02.28.12	Well crafted list dude. When i first saw it i instantly remember the discussion we had made and the inducement i had made to you to search for the roots of metal because you really like the genre. I have already listen to most of these songs and bands and all i can say is this: It has been an amazing journey. I'm sure you too enjoyed the ride. Cream's debut has also several amazing tracks: spoonful the heaviest track, sweet wine has an amazing solo, and i feel free is awesome as well. The last track was an inspiration for Zeppelin's Moby Dick and Sabbath's Rat Salad. "The Open Mind - Magic Potion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RQM4r9mo6o Probably the introduction of double-bass drums in rock music" Gringer Baker of Cream introduced double-bass drumming. I would replace Hendrix's Crosstown Traffic with Voodoo Child (Slight Return). If you loved Jeff Beck's debut album add Beck-Ola to your list. lol even though i don't know what a feature list is, this needs to be featured [4]
TheNotrap 02.28.12	Thanks for your feedback man your opinion is always appreciated. Yeah I remember our chat quite well. Just by curiosity can you tell me what Cream song Gringer Baker used the double-bass drumming? I need to check that.
rockandmetaljunkie 02.28.12	You forgot to add an essential track: Mountain's Mississippi Queen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFhM1XZsh6o Dig their debut once you have some free time. Also don't forget to dig Sir Lord Baltimore's debut. Both albums are amazing.
rockandmetaljunkie 02.28.12	"Just by curiosity can you tell me what Cream song Gringer Baker used the double-bass drumming? I need to check that." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toad_(instrumental) Check the page. I asked a friend of mine who is a drummer, and he told me that this, is the first recorded track in history of Rock music featuring a double-bass.
TheNotrap 02.28.12	Man I've got material to make another list. Just picked 60 songs I found essential in one way or another. These are pre-sabbath songs, I believe Sir Lord Baltimore's debut was released in 1970. Indeed Kingdom Come is an essential work.
rockandmetaljunkie 02.28.12	"These are pre-sabbath songs, I believe Sir Lord Baltimore's debut was released in 1970." That's true, and i never said it's like proto-metal or something. But, like you said it's an essential work and such albums deserve some digging.
TheNotrap 02.28.12	yeah impressive drum solo. Difficult to tell but yes I believe he uses the double-bass on the solo. But if you listen to The Open Mind's Magic Potion the double-bass drumming is used during the song, a standard metal technique used mostly in the 80's.
JamieTwort 02.29.12	Just listened to Magic Potion. Rules hard.
TheNotrap 02.29.12	Indeed JT. If you wish listen also to Jacula - Triumphatus Sad and The 31 Flavors - Distortions of Darkness. Impressive distorted guitars. Pre-Iommi obscure stuff.
JamieTwort 02.29.12	Listening to Jacula now, sounds almost like early doom metal at times. Great stuff.
Activista anti-MTV 02.29.12	good list... looks like shit doesn't hit the fan until '69
TheNotrap 02.29.12	@JT And take a look into Coven's occult imagery: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bs_jvO9uevQ Horns up! Indeed Activista, 1969 was definitely the proto-metal year, however we find baby steps since the early 60's.
Activista anti-MTV 02.29.12	i guess i have always been pretty obstinate that sabbath started metal, but it's pretty clear that many of its origins were elsewhere. i subscribe to the interpretation that sabbath took all the different elements and made them into a cohesive whole - the metal. in high school, i read an unofficial history of metal that started with black sabbath and followed it through the creation of death and black metal... i would love to find that book again... it was written by one of Lemmy Kilmister's disciples (a roadie) who achieved considerable fame among the mainstream media for doing something out of the ordinary (exactly what, I don't remember)... very good read, and if i can remember what book it was/who the author was i will be sure to post it, because it looks as though there might be some interest in this edition...
TheNotrap 02.29.12	You're right. Sabbath's debut is the first true metal album (even with tons of blues rock and jazz links) but many previous bands already started to explore that new path. If you wish follow the songs chronologically. That book seems interesting man. Share with us.
Activista anti-MTV 03.01.12	http://www.amazon.com/Sound-Beast-Complete-Headbanging-History/dp/0380811278 [i]Sound of the Beast: The Complete Headbanging History of Heavy Metal[/i] by Ian Christe = 400-500 pages if i remember correctly I can't remember what happened with Ian Christe and Lemmy but something happened that was bizarre, and that's how he was introduced to the world. If I remember correctly, he was a kid at the time... I don't remember. Cheers! PS: I am going to try to get a hold of one of these copies again! It was very informative. I remember that it gave a lot of details! Bands, big names, etc. A good read! I highly recommend it for every metal head. I am not as big a metal head as I used to be, but this is still definitely a high reading priority!
Activista anti-MTV 03.01.12	There's a few bands on here that I haven't listened to, but the Stooges were sludge-y as hell yet they don't receive a lot of credit for that innovation among metal-heads... nice addition to the list!
GnFnRs87 03.02.12	Good list man, props for Deep Purple, Alice Cooper, Hendrix and Floyd
Hawks 03.02.12	This needs to be featured [4]
Activista anti-MTV 03.02.12	^Yep
TheNotrap 03.03.12	Thanks guys. This is already featured. User's featured..that's enough for me. Love you all.
