Black Sabbath? Led Zeppelin? Alice Cooper? The Beatles?! The Who? Some other band?
Tell me what you think and why.

For those of you who are skeptical about The Beatles' claim to inventing Heavy Metal, you should listen to 'Helter Skelter" on _The White Album_ and to "She's So Heavy" on _Abbey Road_.
Whether you call those songs "heavy metal" or not, it is clear that they had a profound influence on the genre thoughout the 70's and even some of the 80's.

And Quiet Riot was not the first band with twin lead guitars. Judas Priest had two lead guitars and heavy drums and their first album came out in '74. Quiet Riot's debut didn't come out until '77.

No. Black people invented different instruments that each and each human being Rock and Roll music makes use of yet they did not invent the genres themselves. Henry Ford perfected the assembly line, does that advise he created each thing that has been created with an assembly line because the 1920's?

I do know where phase came from
It comes from the phrase "Heavy metal thunder "
BORN TO BE WILD
From the 1968 release "Steppenwolf"
Words and music by Mars Bonfire
Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die
Born to be wild
Born to be wild

hmmm. it would have to be black sabbath. i think most modern metal bands would agree. slayer, metallica, and pantera were all deeply infulenced by black sabbath. these bands opened the doors to other genres, such as death, black, doom, and all the other metal subgenres.

the roots stem from Elvis Presley (a white front to make it popular) and further back to black artists and scat/ragtime.
I'd have to say the Beatles changed rock, and then as they evolved, Zepplin took over.
