Thanks for this list. It isn't a complete list of all heavy metal bands but it a great start.

I strongly disagree with your decision. I have heard some "country" that could be considered heavy metal!

I guess I was confused about what "heavy metal" was. I thought some of those were just Rock and Roll.
Sorry

I do ton agree with the decision about "no heavy metal bands" because the challenge name is "My favourite band" and not " My favourite no heavy metal band". I love all music, but, if that are rules, well, i post the list that was in Wikipedia... but... iagree with mof7 (in her other post) about the concept of "heavy metal"...

Rules are rules and the challenge owners have the right to reinforce their rules as they wish I guess.
Just look at a lot of the other challenges they make rules and everyone does their own thing and get away with it.

If we want to get pedantic about the rules, then is there a difference between a GROUP and a BAND

I actually heard "RAP" in a country song today! Blew my mind. LOL.......now where would you put that?
Sep 5, 2007

Well personally I would put it in the trash......
