I listened to St Anger a while ago. The only real problems with it are song length and the songs themselves. It sounded like audio schizophrenia in places. No where near the worst album ever though.

I hear this statement a lot and I don't think it's true. Listen to their title track or "Wheels of Confusion/The Straightener" or "A National Acrobat". Those songs transcend hard rock-they're sludgy, doomy, HEAVY as all hell masterpieces of music.
...Crap, I've gotta go listen to some Sabbath now.

Yeah. I spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to classify music in order to be able to just push play and get some special genre or mood or sub-genre playing. A lot of music is very difficult to categorize, even into top genres, but Black Sabbath is one of the easiest. They are definitely heavy metal in any common definition of that term, even if narrowing the genre down after it having evolved during 40 years.

Led Zeppelin is one of the best bands ever, but they're not really metal...
G&R's Appetite for Destruction is probably the best hard rock album ever. But I wouldn't call them the best metal band, because after Slash left, they became racist idiots.
So... Aerosmith?

Were they still going after Slash left? (Not counting Chinese Democracy, I thought all the original members left on the same day)

In what universe is Guns 'N Roses hard rock and Aerosmith metal?
Even if Aerosmith was a metal band...c'mon, duder. They're not even the best hard rock band as it is.

Best metal bands, wide definition:
1. AC/DC (too much roll in their rock to be straight metal)
2. Iron Maiden (heavy metal by any definition)
3. Van Halen (hard rockers)
4. Led Zeppelin (hm pioneers but a long way from metal as defined today)
5. Aerosmith (started as borderline metal, then evolved into hard rock balladeers)
Best metal bands, narrow definition:
1. Iron Maiden
2. Metallica
3. Black Sabbath
4. Accept
5. Disturbed

Agreed. You could have at least picked a prog metal band like Dream Theater.
