Im not really concerned that Queen are not on there....

would of been nice to see queen 2....

but what can you do when fools can be kings.[/QUOTE]
What has Queen 2 to do with heavy metal ?

 Queen is not really a "heavy metal" band to begin with.. so that is why you won't see them on there. You can't really classify most of their material in any one rock category, the music is so varied... it would be more upsetting if they didn't crack the top 100 of a rock 'n roll list.[/QUOTE]

Queen never did heavy metal ALBUMS, just a couple of heavy metal SONGS

What do you mean MOP and Painkiller  aren't heavy metal??? I hoped you meant it in the sense that they're thrash/speed metal....
Saxon is NWOBHM and definitely metal. Do you mean to tell me you consider Slipknot more metal than Saxon? Twisted Sister, despite being glam, is one of the few glam metal bands who could actually qualify as actual metal(1st two albums) along with WASP and early Motley Crue. I think they suck but they're definitely metal. Def Leppard on the other hand are not...(but their debut album is NWOBHM).
Accept is also pure headbanging metal and the album you've "discredited" is actually their most popular containing the epic "Princess of the Dawn". Rainbow's "Rising" is also heavy metal. The album has Stargazer ffs. That song's considered proto-Power Metal.

Hi Saif, yes, I consider them METAL but not HEAVY METAL.
E.g. Master Of Puppets is speed / trash / power metal, Painkiller is speed metal, etc.

what pink floyd is doing there???

[/QUOTE] Thanks for clarifying that, that's what I thought at first but was left confused when you said some bands weren't even close to metal...

BTW, MOP isn't power metal, at least not in the modern definition of the genre.

this is list of best heavy metal albums and a lot of metal genres are on it (nwobhm, speed, trash) along with some hard rock albums like back in black, taken by force, appetite for destruction... there's all genres of metal and it should be that way when this kind of polls are created
