Hundreds of lists of best metal bands/albums on the internet, made by so called metal heads and 1 or 2 of them list one of the most influential metal. I haven't heard manowar, but if they are heavy metal then i would probably like them. I think some of their best work is from their previous albums, but then yeah they're the sole reason i started getting into heavy music, i credit them with getting me.

So a band such as megadeth may have the best guitarist in the world and a band such as iron maiden may have many of the best riffs but compared to melvins or harvey milk, they are lighter than a dandelion. With a heavy christian theme, the band's early albums were inspired by religious imagery and were heavily faith based. The first time i came across sevendust was through a drum magazine because their first two albums melded heavy metal and hip hop in an ingenious way. When heavy metal first emerged at the beginning of the 1970s, naysayers would have never suspected that the bands from those early years would be considered some of the classic metal bands.
