For me Dio is number one the powerful vocals and unique lyrics, Iron Maiden would be like a 1b as soon as you hear the guitars you know it’s Maiden. Then Priest and Motörhead would round out my Rushmore. Sabbath would be honorable mention. I got into the hair metal a little back in the 80’s when it first got started but all the copycat crap soured me pretty quick. My unpopular take is Metallica is boring and monotonous
