* Music/LedZeppelin (While the band members expressed their disdain for the "heavy metal" label, they were an important link between the heavier forms of rock of the 60s and the early metal of the 70s and they're frequently cited as an UrExample alongside Blue Cheer and Steppenwolf)



* Music/ThinLizzy (their 80s albums are generally considered to be the most "metal", and their dueling-lead-guitar sound would be hugely influential on subsequent metal bands)

Traditional heavy metal (also referred to as '''trad metal''', '''classic metal''', or simply '''heavy metal''') is metal music played in its original style. Generally considered to be not a sub-genre of metal, but the main genre of it, trad metal is characterized by most of the traits metal originally was known for, including blues-inspired riffs, distorted guitars, melodic vocals with an added bombastic edge, and psychedelic rock influences, particularly in the earliest of metal bands. However, after the numerous subsets of heavy metal began to spawn, fans and music critics alike began to refer to the traditional style of metal as its own separate genre, especially after many then-newer bands began to adopt the sound despite emerging years after metal came to be.
