It's 'ok'... that's all.

It's a nice collection of classic tracks especially for rock/metal afficionados.... but EITHER it's horribly inaccurate or is biased to what the Americans think.. and I'm sorry... but generally they don't do hard rock/ metal very well at all.

When they start putting Van Halen and Aerosmith in the same category as AC/DC, Zepp and Purple.. then someone is on something.

Halen and Aerosmith.. while perfectly acceptable as American heavy rock.. late Glam Rock even... they shouldn't be under Hard Rock as somekind of progenitors of the genre/s.

Here's one for the metalheads though...

DiAnno or Dickinson?

Anyone interested in the subject should track down Rock Family Tree.. from somewhere.

OH.. and any Brits over say... 37.. Go listen to.. Nantucket Sleighride (to Owen Coffin) By Mountain.. I love a look of surprise.

This looks cool. I'll look into it more later. But it does look like it's going to spark no end of subgenre debates.

Which are pretty much pointless :D

Nice, though a bit band lacking.
I like the idea of putting most of the sh%t on a different island.;)

Is Soilwork in this thing anywhere?

Give him some credit, he remembered Sweet.

Incidentally, as usual, in a metal discussion Manowar gets slighted as usual!

I was a DiAnno fan.. mind you I think the start of the New Brittish Wave was the best.. I was a Denim and Leather Kid.

Dickinson was too operatic at times.. DiAnno was just raw voice... Iron Maiden's popularity for me wained mostly when they got Gers in as their third guitar.. I was brought up on Maiden Maiden and Killers.

Cool :)

However, somewhat lacking in the Doom Metal department - should have at least included Stoner Doom, especially since Stoner is already there (perhaps I've simply missed it?). Also, I think it's going a bit far with "djent" and "trance metal". Also, would disagree with "post-metal". But that's about it :)

@Aliasalpha
Should be under Melodic Death, but for some reason it isn't - and neither are In Flames or Dark Tranquility, which is a glaring oversight in my opinion.

@Aaron86
I'd think it obvious to everyone that Power Metal is Chaotic Good :p

I'd say they peaked with seventh son...

Am i a lousy seeker, or does Technical Thrash not exist, and bands like Coroner are a creation of my imagination? If so, my imagination is bloody genius.
Not even going to comment on the lack of MF. Anyhow, it is more biased than i've thought, but still neat
