And to further muddy the waters, there's the fact that any new(ish) band nowadays which sounds like early Sabbath is classified as doom metal, not heavy metal (unless you're using metal/heavy metal in the broadest possible sense, which I usually do).
If I had to name one band which is the living embodiment of (traditional) heavy metal, it's Judas Priest.
I grew up listening to pantera and Metallica. Sure that's a bit vanilla compared to some stuff these days but some people found the hot club of France shocking.

I'd rather put Iron Maiden in that category. There was too much following suit with Priest - from early blues rock, through hard rock/classic heavy metal and dabbling with synthesizers to modern almost-thrash metal in the early 90s, and so on.

I find that the only thing I really dislike is the really screamy stuff, which isn't my thing, or people who think everything is shit except metal (but then people saying everything is shit except the stuff they like annoys me full stop).
The lovely thing about the age of streaming is you could spend a week listening to symphonic metal then a week listening to Taylor Swift then a week listening to Blur - it's all there right for the listening.
