Nice list you've got here. I've never though of Deep purple as heavy metal, always classified in hard rock, just checked my iPod. I wonder the same about dream theater, never saw it fit in the metal group.

Funny to see Dio(rip), Ozzy and black sabbath in the same list as alternatives. They're truly not the same thing, but due to the incestuous relationship the two singer had with sabbath, if think of them as part of the same family.

You are not showing enough love for blind guardian.... :( but you have cliff burton covered, so that is fine 👍🏻

Any ways good read and quite good list.
