Ok ... this was initially intended for the prog metal team, but I don't see why it shouldn't be public. Each of you can name the 10 bands which you feel are the most important proto prog / prog related bands in the genre of Metal. Feel free to edit your posts if you discover a band mentioned by someone else that you didn't think of at first. I'll wait a few days and then we'll see which bands are indeed the most important ones.

I'll post my list later ... I need some time to think about it.Smile

Great idea, Mike! Thumbs Up So, there's my list:

Judas Priest (circa "Sad Wings of Destiny")
Iron Maiden (from "The Number of the Beast" onwards)
Metallica (from "Ride the Lightning" to "And Justice for All)
Megadeth (from "Peace Sells..." onwards)

Rainbow would not probably qualify as Metal, but I would include them all the same.

Judas Priest (Sad Wings, Sin after Sin etc)
Rainbow (Dio era) although that is probably hard rock.
Blue Oyster Cult (again probably hard rock)

Well, I'm interested. I'm not into the "Metal" genre; but I still feel interested into such information. I would really like to know wich are, historically, the bands that are considered like "proto - something". Every time I try to listen to Dreamtheater, I kind of see some Kansas traits in the music. I guess Kansas can be proto - metal somehow. Plus, the song "De Futura" from Magma's UDU WUDU has a very hard bass line from the middle section to the end, it kind of makes me think a bit about a certain metal sound; but it also mybe just mi impression, since I'm not articulated in the subject.

Of course you can also mention Rock bands ... but imagine those bands listed as "Proto Prog Metal" or "Prog Related Metal" and decide if that makes sense.

Maybe Scorpions (the early years with Uli Jon Roth)
Yngwie Malmsteen (First real neo classic metal guitarist)
Maybe Maiden...difficult to decide.
I see Metallica as the pioneers of thrash, not really prog related.

High Tide; their first album "Sea Shanties" from 1969 is the first prog metal album.

I think High Tide may be proto-prog-metal rather than simply proto-metal. Their music is much more sophisticated than, say, early Black Sabbath. As to Led Zep, I would put them straight in Proto-Prog - how do you call "No Quarter", anyway?Wink

Mike, the ones I posted.........I believe are Proto Metal bands, in other words have some elements of Prog Metal but still not fully developed almost as Prog Metal in embryonic state. LOL
 
About the rest, each member knows.

Maiden and Megadeth.  Althought I'm somewhat curious on how true Megadeth's relation to prog is.  Metallica is probably my favorite proto-prog metal band, but I only care for a few songs, not their albums on the whole.
