How is Born to be Wild Hard Rock / Metal? I was voting on this VH1 poll on their site and it was nothing but a popularity contest. Born to Be Wild says the words "heavy metal" so that makes it a metal tune? lol To me that referes to the metal of an engine - That song isn't remotely heavy metal or hard rock.
Where do you think it belongs I agree not metal(this poll didn't mention metal) but certainly hard rock. It's not psychedelic or acid and it's not a pop tune. What am I missing?
I don't think it's "hard" rock. I think it's just 60's rock. I don't usually listen to the song, but when I think of it, all I hear is a 60's organ riff; I don't hear guitar...I don't think it even has a guitar solo...At least one I can remember.
No outstanding guitar, no guitar solo (that I recall), and a "heavy" organ riff are NOT hard rock to me.
I hate the song.
