Metallica was probably the best metal band in the 80s. Master of Puppets is still the best metal album , and that came out in 86 I think.

As far as 'old school' metal, Black Sabbath & Iron Maiden come out on top-impossible to pick just one.

In the US, the threshold for gold is half a million, the threshold for platinum is one million.\n\nSo an album that goes "triple platinum" has sold 3 million+ copies.

Wrong, harleyman.  \n\nLed Zeppelin was the first band who was described as "Heavy Metal". They released albums from 1969 to 1982.  One of the most versatile, hard rocking and timeless bands.\n\nVocals - Robert Plant\nGuitar, other strings - Jimmy Page\nDrums - John Bonham (died 1980)\nBass, Keyboard - John Paul Jones
