Well, Heavy Metal was original part of the "Underground" movement in rock music, and that started in the late 60's. Bands like King Crimson were part of this movement too. And the late lamented Jimi Hendrix was still around then, and his influence on music at that time was phenomenal.
I completely agree with you on that, if they would have not innovate and tried new things the music today would be completely different.

We'd probably still have Frank Sinatra sound-alikes singing My Way! Oops! Go to any karaoke pub, and they're still around!

Brynne: no worries, I always knew you were female. I'd be VERY surprised if you were male actually!
Missdoh: no, YOU don't REALLY need to state your gender. It's quite obvious!
Zephyr: don't know many women who know about the Zephyr Zodiac. I know even less who'd use it as an avatar!
KellyQ: you anglo-saxons and your unisex names! Argh! In Greece there are MALE names and FEMALE names. No way you'd confuse one for the other.
Oh, I'm male btw! My avatar is a CD single cover by a german heavy metal band, Blind Guardian, showing an Elf crossing the icy paths of...ugh, I forgot the name! The cover is inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion, as was the full-length album (Nightfall in Middle-Earth) the band released after the single.
Ironic that you mention the Greek names being only male or female because when I was a kid I went to school with three other Kellys, all boys! I hated it! I always thought I'd change my name to Cassandra (Greek name definitely) when I was an adult. Little did I realize that by that point, I wouldn't care that I had " a boy name". ;D

It isn't just Anglo-Saxons! Think of how many Spanish and Spanish American men have the name Maria! And how many Frenchmen, and French descended Americans/Canadians etc., have the name Marie!
At least when the name was in common usage in the UK, it was spelt Marion as opposed to the female spelling Marian.
