They're the grandfathers of metal, being older than Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple:P.
Is that even possible? Just kidding. Like both those groups - favorite Led Zeppelin is Kashmir. There's something about that Indian / Arabic / Moroccan sound that really appeals to me. And of course, Deep Purple's classic - Smoke on the Water
Kashmir! Oh crap, now I MUST listen to it, you know. I was going to the shower

. It's difficult for me to choose one single song from those bands... Stairway to Heaven, Kashmir, Black Dog.... Child in Time, Highway Star, Perfect Strangers... too many good songs to choose.
And yes, Blue Cheer first album is actually older than Led Zep and Deep Purple ones, so they should actually be called the first metal band. But they're not so well know. In fact, I just discovered them last year.
