brucie - Great Balls of Fire was an absolutely inspired nomination. Bravo! We can thank the great Jerry Lee Lewis for being one of the most early and historically significant headbangers of all time with his frenetic performances, and for telling all of England it could "k*ss his *ss". He was a headbanger before his time, and should serve as an inspiration to succeeding generations of angry young men who love loud music, mind-altering substances, sex, and violence.

He also set a piano on fire onstage to outdo Chuck Berry, thus paving the way for other noisy, if talented idiots (like Hendrix and The Who) to do similarly destructive things in their pursuit of fame and notoriety. It's amazing what too much testosterone can drive people to, isn't it? :-)
