On the lighter Side:-Music-Heavy Metal

I was introduced to the Heavy Metal genre by a friend and got hooked to it. Although there are many heavy metal groups out there when I was listening but now you can hardly hear one or two, the most enduring of them is Metallica. Heavy Metal was very popular in the 70s and 80s but it got out of favor in the 90s when rap came and never got the popularity back again. Their characteristics was long hair and loud (very) music sometimes accompanied by unintelligible lyrics. I liked it because the music was loud and I got to shake my head like crazy. But to be fair, the music was good too which made it very popular. But it was popular among the biker and the far out crowds and never got into mainstream music scene.

The British invasion of the Heavy Metal era was the best with top bands of the U.K. topping the charts like DIO, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and also other non U.K bands like AC/DC and Scorpions, Faith no more, Megadeth and more. But sadly now that era is gone and only the CDs and the videos on YOUTUBE are the sources you can watch the bygone era.
