It's hard to explain how "Metal" started. Many say Black Sabbath... and actually I agree with that. But for me when I was a young lad of 8 or 9 (young metalhead I was lol) THIS was the fucking song (please excuse my lingo hehe) that I'll always remember. It was on AM radio everywhere (although a shortened version). This is from LZ's LZ II album. As I got older (in my teens) in the 70's I bought all of their albums, the hype was true...

Led Zeppelin was the greatest band in the land. Jimmy Page on guitar, Robert Plant on vocs, John Paul Jones on bass and keys and of course the backbone of the band... John Bonham on the skins. There will never ever be another band like this. As I've raved about many times lol, I did get to see them Sunday July 17th 1977 in our old now imploded and demolished Kingdome but to tell ya the truth, they weren't up to their old glory daze. Or maybe my expectations were so high... dunno, long time ago. But again.... THIS damn song.... WOWWWWWWWW!!!!!!! :)
