A lot of Black Sabbath fans here.

They were definitely pioneers.

I was able to see them at The Warehouse in New Orleans. The title song of their first album Black Sabbath is widely recognized as the/a progenitor of the genre.

I think this oldie gets little love for its place in the pantheon.

Hard rock?

Something from Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, AC/DC or Queen.

If we're going heavy rock for Smashing Pumpkins probably have to go with Geek, USA. But weirdly, even Smashing Pumpkins heavy songs don't feel like heavy rock. I think it's because of Billy's voice. It's too soft and nasally for the songs have a truly heavy rock feel.


XYU... one of their best songs ever... also Heavy Metal Machine... Pumpkins had plenty of good Heavy Rock songs. From '99 to '01 I rarely listened to anything BUT Pumpkins.
