OK, I tend to classify heavy metal into two categories: good bands, and lousy
bands.  Some examples from both categories are in order:

Lousy: Huey Louis, Twisted Sister, AC/DC, etc.

Good : Led Zeppelin, Iron Butterfly, Mountain (any fans out there??),
	Blue Oyster Cult, Van Halen (at times).

I'm not sure how I go about categorizing, but I believe that it is highly
correlated with musical talent.
