IMHO

Beatles, Stones, CCR = Rock n' Roll

AC/DC, Van Halen, Guns n' Roses = Rock

I agree. Bands like AC/DC. Van Halen, Guns n' Roses, Led Zeppelin, and others, are often categorized as Heavy Metal. But, I never thought of them as such. There like a step above rock n' roll. AC/DC and Zepellin are both heavily influenced by blues and early rock n' roll.

Agree with your summary..

Example…

AC/DC is the best rock band of all time

Pantera is the best heavy metal band of all time

Six Feet Under is the best death metal band of all time

Glad those are examples

Because everyone knows Megadeth is the greatest heavy metal band of all time.
