Metal

Metal is an umbrella term (a super-genre) used to refer to a broad range of musical genres, with heavy metal being the predominant implication. However, it usually needs further clarification, since numerous subgenres of metal may vary dramatically in almost every aspect, ranging from vocals and lyrical themes to instruments and song structures.

I have a theory! Those guys (kids?) who tag some not-quite-metal bands as "metal" usually don't listen to metal at all, so the most metal-like band in their list would be "metal". Because people who really listen to metal can recognize more bands and styles so they would tag them more specific and never simply "metal".

The first 8 bands, expect of Maiden and Megadeth, shouldn't be listed at top artists, though I like some of them. They are way better metal bands than those ones.
