They are by far MORE (?) than Heavy Metal. Personally, I wouldnt call Led Zepplin a Heavy Metal band either. A few contemporary heavy metal bands are listed below: 1) Scorpions (my favorite, and one of the more talented heavy metal bands) 2) Krokus (less talent, but louder) 3) Motley Crue (very loud, but more talent than Krokus) 4) Judas Priest (one of the vetrans of heavy metal) 5) Iron Maiden (a lot like Priest, but not as proven) 6) Kiss (they were out of the limelight for awhile, but they're back) 7) Black Sabbath (heavy, heavy metal, they were better years back) 8) Ozzy Osbourne (formerly of Black Sabbath, now on his own - little talent) Talent in heavy metal can be disputed for years, but I refer to originality within the songs, singing on key (definitely), and variety and creativeness, as well as being able to "jam". These are just a few of the more popular ones now. If I've missed somebody's favorite, I apologize. -Steve
