Have you seen this amazing video of a 15 year old girl covering Through The Fire And Flames. Click to the four minute mark for the solo.

I would probably make a different list for what would generally be perceived as essential in general but since these are MY favorites...

1. Judas Priest - Victim Of Changes (live)
2. Iron Maiden - Killers
3. Van Halen - Atomic Punk
4. Black Sabbath - Supernaut
5. Faith No More - Surprise! You're Dead
6. Trouble - R.I.P.
7. Midnight Idols - Necropolis (City Of The Dead)
8. Blue Oyster Cult - Seven Screaming Dizbusters (live)
9. Overdrive - Dream Away
10. Dirty Power - LSD

Black Sabbath is the only answer here. The most "essential" metal band ever and it isn't even close. It's obvious most of you have no idea what metal is.

Keep listening to your RATM and "strapping young lads" or whatever and thinking it's metal. You should be listening to Sabbath 1-4 if you want essential.

For the record I am a huge Pantera fan and my user name is actually based on a Sepultura track, so not dogging your list. Just not what I consider essential, but to each his own.

Devin Townsend - Deadhead
Queensryche - Eyes of a Stranger
Gojira - Art of Dying
Meshuggah - New Millennium Cyanide Christ
Dream Theater - Pull Me Under

As much as I hate to admit it sometimes, metal has become a highly fluid and diverse genre of music.

The only real definition of heavy metal is that it is a heavier variation of blues-derived rock 'n' roll. If you want, you could include the alternate tuning requirement, but there are some well known metal bands that occasionally play in standard tuning.

Tempo has proven to be insignificant (i.e. contrast doom to grindcore) and lyrical can encompass everything (e.g. religion, politics, literature, philosophy, history, love, human existence, etc.).

Some of these bands might not fit the category of "heavy metal", a subgenre reserved for the forefathers Black Sabbath and a handful of other bands with few extreme elements in their music, but that doesn't necessarily make them non-metal.
