That sure was easier than typing all the bands I listen to! I think there were only two categories where I don’t have something in my collection from - Black Metal and Grindcore. Only reason I have a Morbid Angel CD (Death Metal) is because I won it at a happy hour drawing around 1991. Probably listened to it once, if that.

In the "Definitive Tree", starting from the roots, the only branches I didn't/don't follow are the "Stoner" and "First Wave of Dark Metal" branches, and their outgrowths.

So that was the local cat house name.

More than likely he was in his mom's basement, because he was too shy and awkward to get a date with a real girl on Saturday nights!

OH MY!

One of the best concerts I had the pleasure of attending was Johnny Cash. Late 70s, maybe? We had the Stones in town, but they were never on my must see group, could not stand Jagger.

And now I know the Soundtracks they play in Hell. Get to Church boys, eternity is a L-O-N-G time to have to listen to this music.

Metal has nothing to do with the devil.
I'm a 61 year old metal head. It doesn't mean I/we worship the devil or dont attend church...

Since the late 60s it has been some form of Rock and carried into all Genres at this point. My favorite thing about streaming music today is, I can wake up and decide Who, What, Time Period and for how long I'm going to listen. Unlike
(Tik Tok, X, Facebook and the many others) it is technology that is worthwhile. Led Zeppelin would probably sit at the top of my list of artists all Genres.
