They started out as a metal band, but became non-metal with "Down on the Upside", which, not coincidentally, signaled the end of their career.

BUT THEY HAVE A GRAMMY TO PROVE IT.

Zeppelin may be harder hitting than Leppard or the Crue, but that doesn't mean they're metal. The latter two bands were both the lamest kind of metal, but they're still easy to classify, while Zeppelin played all different kinds of music and had a great many decidely non-metal characteristics.
Interesting. I would say no, no, yes.

Yes.
A no for me.

Unfortunately, yes.

AC/DC and Def Leppard are borderline.

No.
Agree on the first three, but Nightwish is a yes.

I've heard it a million times. I understand perfectly. BOC is a rock band. Winger was a cheese-metal band. BOC is a thousand times better, but it doesn't make them metal.Metal is a genre of music, not a badge of honor.
Definitions can evolve.

Yes.NIN - no, with the exception of the "Broken" EP and a few tunes on "Downward Spiral" - they're kind of on the fringe. Ministry is also like this, but I would say they have enough metal in them to be a yes. Same with Rammstein and KMFDM.

So GAY.Still, all those bands of the 80s are metal - from Ratt to Dokken to even Damn Yankees. As gay as they were, they were still hair metal.

No.Yes. But Kyuss was real metal, whereas QOTSA is very borderline.

Sorry Clayton, I respect your opinion on the subject, but I've been around here long enough to respect Evilgrin's more.:(
Every other subject, you're the clear winner.

You're making what I think is a valuable distinction:a) metal bands, and
b) bands who have metal songs in their repetoire
...
So here, you're addressing the acts that fall within (a).
If you were interested in addressing the (b) bands, this thread could venture far and wide -- Neil Young, Foreigner, Rush, Queen, Heart -- and heck, even Prince -- have done metal. They just aren't metal.

No, I don't have any Blue Oyster Cult. Where were you last week?
