What are some older metal bands you’d recommend, or even newer ones? (Besides like Iron Maiden who I have on rn lol)

metalcatholic:

Note some of these may be considered as hard rock/ rock n’ roll by today’s standards but I think when they first started they’d be consider metal. 

So I’m gonna give you the list my father gave me; Judas Priest, Dio, AC/DC, Black Sabbath (personally I don’t listen to more than five of their songs), Van Halen, Triumph, Metallica, Megadeth, Saxon, Deep Purple, Scorpions, Uriah Heep, The Who, Thin Lizzy, and Diamond Head
