When I was in high school there was a guy who took a math test & when it was over every answer on his sheet looked like this:

5 X (42-3) + 4927/72 = MOTORHEAD

Well, he didn't do that well on the test, but at least he knew who the best heavy metal band was.

at this point in my life, I like Tool, Kyss and Melvins more than Iron Maiden. But Iron Maiden *was* metal to me. I guess I don't use the term "metal" to talk about heavy music these days. Unless the band is obviously "metal" (like, umm someone like Opeth) - I'm not really all that hung up on labels.. but.. for this topic I guess I am

I hope Led Zeppelin counts!

I hope Led Zeppelin counts!

They're more "hard bluesy rock" than metal per se.

OK then, I change my vote to Alice in Chains

Gotta love their old head banging records.

Sabbath is close, but I chose Judas Priest.

I wish I could have seen Black Sabbath live, never got to see them, but saw Judas Priest many times and they were excellent live.

I wonder if they are really reforming?

I saw Sabbath and Ozzy in the same summer, at the same venue, on the same stage, but not at the same time.
