The guys in Deep Purple refer to it as "The Dan-dan-dan" song...

All I want to say is that even the rocks know this song ("Smoke..." of course)

I think Deep Purple have to be here in MMA as proto metal, but a few albums must be billed as non metal IMO!

Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Uriah Heep set the boundaries of what we call Hard Rock & Metal. All the others follow them.

Without them there would be no metal - they helped pioneer it

Oh sure! Defining band for metal. Just not evil and raw enough for my taste. Prefer Sabbath and Zeppelin. Edited by bonnek - 25 Apr 2010 at 12:57pm |

"Speed King" is the first Power Metal song that was ever conceived and recorded!!! And "Fireball" was the first Prog Metal album that was ever conceived and recorded!!!

Yes, deffinitely. While I'd say they're heavy rock rather than metal they certainly played a part in the development of the genre and highly influential to many metal bands to come.

Indeed - Blue Cheer are often cited as metal pioneers - yet the music is a trashy, grungy kind of heavy blues/psych.
They did have the volume, I'll give them that... legend has it that they turned the air around them into something like lithium-flavoured candyfloss, and could be heard from 10 miles away - not sure if they ever made it to 11...

I got one more >>> BLUE CHEER
But youy're right "and while the "heavy" is indisputable, the "metal" is highly questionable."

my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicted musicians to crazy ones....

It's a common fallacy that Steppenwolf were the originators of the term;
It was either an unconfirmed journalist of 1967 who described Hendrix's music as "Heavy metal falling from the skies" (or something like that - like I say, it's unconfirmed, but I've heard this rumour many times, and there's no smoke without fire)
- or it was the album Hapshash and the Coloured Coat, featuring the Human Host and the Heavy Metal Kids, released in 1967. The music isn't metal - not even close - but the band previously gave Hendrix his debut gig in the UK, played music that was undoubtedly heavy for the time, and went on to become a major root of metal music, influencing Sabbath, Purple, Zep, Blue Oyster Cult and Judas Priest.
I'd support Mountain. Cream - and probably The Doors and The Who - in proto - but would be a bit wary of too many hard rock acts in there; Bands like Free, Fuzzy Duck, Leafhound, Bakerloo, Quatermass, May Blitz, Sir Lord Baltimore et al are bound to come up for scrutiny, and while the "heavy" is indisputable, the "metal" is highly questionable.

Purple were hard rock, much like Zep or Heep I don't see those three as metalbands, but then again I can't picture a metal site not acknowledging these bands (and Atomic Rooster and High Tide etc....) on the site
Much like Steppenwolf.... not metal music..... but they coined the term.... this makes tghem unavoidable
Should Mountain, Cream and West, Brude & Laing be included as well in the pioneering rome they had??
