I have access to some albums by these artists - but could you point me towards some key songs which you think were "metal"?

I think you have a point here - even though DP are considered less influential on Metal than Led Zep or Black Sabbath, I think their influence cannot be so easily discounted. After all, a song like "Highway Star" has been often defined as the archetypal speed metal track - as shown by its cover by Metal Church on their self-titled debut album of 1984.

  IMHo, Rush are the forefathers of progressive metal. You're right, I should've put them there.

Didn't Led Zep start with the heavy stuff first?

   What do you think? Which band was the most influential in the creation of heavy metal? Obviously Black Sabbath was pretty much "guilty" for that but other ideas and influences came from elsewhere. Any thoughts?
