6. A band that should be thought of as Heavy Metal, but rarely are:
I know I have a good answer to this, but can't think right now.
7. A band that shouldn't be thought of as Heavy Metal, but regularly are:
Led Zeppelin
a few others, but I've already written too much
8. British or American: British bands like The Who, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple (and other Acid-Rock progenitors who really started it off in any popular sense...Jimi started off playing in the UK too) and then Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden really defined and refined the genre, so British.
9. Sonic Youth's most Heavy Metal song (no covers):
Hands down, "'Cross The Breeze." This doesn't apply to myself, but I've often wondered how many people that are here would have never became Sonic Youth fans if this song had never been recorded.
