thats kinda debatable....TYA was not metal....but the guy most heavy metal guys from the 80's mention is Tony Iommi from Sabbath....
Lee created the "shredding" style of two handed arpeggio that ALL metal depended on.
Sabbath brought the theatrics and style over substance element that dominated metal. The fact that Motley Crue ever sold a ticket to a show proves that theatrics and antics mattered nearly exclusively.
"The Archies" were more legitimate musicians than Motley Crue.
