Not sure you would characterize the likes of Aerosmith and Deep Purple heavy metal bands. Hard rock maybe :roll:

The guys in Zep (experts :) ) have come out and said that perhaps only 10% of their catalogue could be considered Heavy Metal.
So I would say that you are correct :)

That makes sense. I think that is a fair characterization of their sound, a little harder then prog rock, which I consider the Moody Blues to be pioneers of.

If you haven't seen it yet try to get Moody Blues Live from the Royal Albert Hall. Just a great musical production with the orchestra and everything. Definitely one of my favorite DVDs.

They're still sounding great today too - the DVD you mentioned is great. They have several good ones. I saw them last July and it was honestly one of the best shows last summer. They sound great vocally and of course musically.

Maybe I would add DeathAngel and UFO to that list but I wouldn't know who to replace. I guess it would have to be the top 27 Heavy Metal bands
