Evolution of Metal (1970s-2020s)

[AlanStevens-echr]

I think 70s metal is the best kind. You have Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple (Somewhat Queen?)

[krinque]

80s or 90s was the best time for metal

[josephstalin]

No representation for harsh vocals (a key element of most metal) is crazy

[ChrisFehn--SlipKnoT]

My favourite metal song from 1970s-2010s

1970:
Black Sabbath - Paranoid

1980:
Metallica - For Whom The Bell Tolls

1990:
Slipknot - Eyeless

2000:
Slipknot - Dead Memories

2010:
Avenged Sevenfold - Buried Alive

[CubilloMEN]

no offense but I think there would be a better representative for 2010's metal than Hail to the King, as this is a song heavily influenced by the classic 80's sound

[liamhardigan]

70s is was and always will be the best

[Dezzahtrix]

teardrinker reminds me of that old slasher game called brutal legend and the group of enemies in the game by the same name

[tayojb]

70's is the best in my opinion but the 60's had some good metal like helter skelter from the Beatles

[megalutadorprozao]

My favourite metal songs 1970s-2020s
1970s: Black Sabbath - Paranoid
1980s: Judas Priest - Breaking The Law
1990s: Rammstein - Du Hast
2000s: Avenged Sevenfold - Afterlife
2010s: Avenged Sevenfold - Nightmare
2020s: Blind Channel - Darkside (yes, this is alternative metal)

[cassidygrey]

Ghost could’ve been for 2010s, definitely Meliora

[TEMPORARILY_SHUT_DOWN]

1970 was more bohemian rhapsody beacuse live aid with queen like idk why freddie and the band didnt get over 17 awards

[bRETTfAVREatgbnyjmni]

System Of A Down should have represented 2000s. No doubt

[saint_punc]

Anyone who doesn't like Heavy Metal, is a chicken.

[anthrax_]

2010 was the worst in my opinion, i love my the present timeline

[onethousanddaysofsodom]

I think this is not an evolution, but a degradation of metal

[Gungui]

Metal nowadays is so overeat, it doesn't sound good

[waynefay]

no evolution at all!
they all basically sound the same
I see no progression at all in this clip
