    Grunge the original

    #NeilYoung

    I like rock and country rock the best. Big fan of some metal

    IMO punk is well punk.

    Metal started ramping up when I was in college (early 80's), as I was getting into older stuff (Stones, Beatles, Byrds, Who, Doors), and also into Punk/New Wave, with the dawn of Mtv. I have grown to like some of it (Motorhead, Metallica, and a few others), but it just didn't resonate with me as a genre...

    If the Ozzy version of black Sabbath is metal then that strengthens it a lot for me. I pretty much like the standard metal songs otherwise...Metallica in other words.

    Cuntry rock and roots rock are by far my favorites of the genre.

    But early punk appeals way more to my sensibilities than metal. 3 chords and the truth.

    Sabbath invented metal so therefore metal.

    Thats a neverending debate though. They weren't the first to rev up the blues and weren't the first to feature a jazz drummer. Progenitor of metal is a label I see more frequently, but the same label can apply to Led Zep, Deep Purple and others...hell even Hendrix and Santana.

    I feel like Sabbath became more metallic over time, mainly after Paranoid. I really know fuckall though.

    Hard to say, my vinyl collection (mostly bought back in the day) tends to favor Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Rainbow, etc. but also a decent selection of the Ramones. I've also got a lot of shit albums that I bought because I liked the videos at the time. As an old guy I prefer southern/country rock.

    Need more shredding. Punk sounds like shitty garage band music.

    Neither rather easily. Mix in country, and you've got the three genres that are ear poison to me.

    The line between early metal and loud blues rock is pretty blurry. Cream, Zep, Deep Purple all still had some bluesy "swing" to their sound, but Sabbath stripped that out entirely. I still consider Zep and Deep Purple to be early metal, but it's messy for some. With Sabbath it's completely clear where they fit.

    There's no mutual exclusivity here @PurpleThrobber . I have an extensive collection of panty dropping yacht rock albums.

    You nailed it for me…I am a big proponent of the “swing”, and I don’t hear it in most metal. You mention Cream, LZ, DP…three of the greatest drummers ever, Bill Ward in there too. Jazz guys make it swing
