Proto - Metal :
As I would definite it would be bands that were not metal themselves per say, but very instrumental in helping to influence the future shape of the genre .I know that bands such as Deep Purple, Black Sabbath , Uriah Heep, etc. are debatable as to whether they actually were METAL bands or proto metal ( especially Sabbath who is generally considered metal by most .) so I will try to stick to the more unsung bands of the era who exhibited these same qualities.
