Be sure to check out Guns N' Roses, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Eagles, Iron Maiden, and too many to name.
Metallica and Iron Maiden were very influencial to metal during the '80s. Metallica pushed metal mainstream in the US, while Iron Maiden did the same in the UK.
You might also want to check out the big 4 thrashers of the 80s, known commonly as Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer. They provided a very important step in the development of thrash metal. Be sure to check out "Master of Puppets", "Ride the Lightning", and "Orion" by Metallica. I don't know too much about Megadeth so I can't comment on that. "Room for One More" and "I'm the Man" are pretty catchy songs by Anthrax. "Raining Blood", "South of Heaven" and "Angel of Death" and also must-haves from Slayer.
Led Zeppelin were extremely influencial in the '70s. They helped make Rock N' Roll heavy. They were probably the first to try anything even remotely like metal. Needless to say, this caused a chain reactions throughout the times. Some catchy tunes include "Communication Breakdown", "Whole Lotta Love", "Since I've been loving you", "Black Dog", "Misty Mountain Hop", and of course, the epic and beautiful "Stairway to Heaven".
Pink Floyd were another influence in the '70s, this time on Progressive rock. They had many concept albums. In a way, they were very experimental - having long songs that carried onto each other, and telling stories through a whole album - although this maybe a bit more common nowadays, it was a very experimental thing back then. Pink Floyd's offspring included bands such as Genesis, Yes, and expanding to the Progressive Metal genre, Rush, Symphony X, Dream Theater and many more. Pink Floyd songs that are good for beginners include "Comfortably Numb", "Time", and "The Great Gig in the Sky".
I guess that gives a basic coverage. Of course, there are much more bands worth exploring.
