Been trying to go back through and listen to the landmark metal bands (some of which were seen as pioneers of their genre) that I am ashamed to admit I haven't paid any attention to yet. So far I've listened to:
Venom - Welcome to Hell
Death - Leprosy
Napalm Death - Scum
What are some important bands in your opinion? Pioneers or not, just trying to expand my taste.
