The HARD ROCK & HEAVY METAL Thread Continued

Not my cup of tea at this point in my life. I used to like it in my youth but now would make my tinnitus ring 5 x louder and make me feel more edgy.

Seether- Fake it 

Never went super heavy but did bang it our to Aerosmith, The Who, Cheap Trick, etc... a ton in HS. We'd crank things up in my best bud's Mustang through his Pioneer/Jensen setup on the way to hockey games. Great times! 

They have denied it, but I’ve always liked Deep Purple as i think they were one of the bands that started Heavy Metal I listen to them to this day Not one bad song on their album Machine Head

Is Deep Purple considered heavy metal? If so Lazy’ on Machine Head is my nominee. Agreeing with the poster above that Deep Purple might have given the genre a kick start.
