Top Ten Songs that Weren't as Influential as Most People Think
I agree - this was only the beginning of doom metal and not the entire heavy metal. Doom has always been one of the smallest metal subgenres. Most of the metal songs don't sound like this song at all. So how exactly this song invented metal? (Try with Hard Lovin' Man by Deep Purple, 1970).
Not the beginning of heavy metal, the beginning of doom metal, which wasn't that successful metal genre. And not similar to the lately metal bands' music.
This song is a important song for metal but its not good
Just because a song is heavier than the average level by a band doesn't mean it's metal
The list title changed
I agree - Stone Cold Crazy by Queen is much closer to thrash and it came out before Symptom of the Universe. Symptom of the Universe isn't very close to thrash - thrash is a very aggressive and "angry" genre but Symptom of the Universe isn't aggressive. Ozzy sings with pain in his voice and not with aggression or anger. Besides, a significant part of the song is not metal at all, let alone thrash.
Not the First Thrash song, only the Riff is Thrashy a little bit. Stone Cold Crazy is closer to thrash.
I feel like most people know it wasn't the first grunge anyway. Also how "new" a song is doesn't define how influential it was popularizing a music genre is still important.
This song isn't the first grunge song. Not even Nirvana's first song.
As far as I can tell, the main influnce of teen spirit was to populatize alternate rock, which I am greatful for.
The lyrics of this song is weird,hello hello hello.I don't think its meaningful
I agree with this, too - lyrics are part of the literature and nobody can invent a music genre with a literature genre. Amon Amarth sing about vikings but they aren't a viking metal band - they are a melodic death metal band.
Same with Helter Skelter. Just a little expansion: just because it's about vikings, it's not viking metal.
It's not that popular song, but it's considered as a black metal song from 1969. It's just a heavy psych song with harsher vocals, and the guitar track isn't that fast and loud like in a really black metal song.
Like seriously, I get why people like this song, but it was not in any way groundbreaking. That level of songwriting had already been achieved a decade earlier, in 1966 by The Beach Boys and in 1967 by The Beatles. Also, the lyrics of the song are quite nonsensical (which Freddie Mercury himself admitted) and the song isn't very organic. Freddie Mercury himself again admitted it's just three songs spliced together. It just works because it's supposed to.
I don't need to say nothing. Overrated.
Everyone is still talking about Let it Go after ALMOST SIX YEARS. If you had a newborn baby when Frozen came out the baby would now be in school.
