I am prepared to get verbally berated for this....
Metallica
*hurls*
Perhaps it's partially because they are the untimate music sharing Nazis, or because I think it's a disgrace to call it metal. And I am certainly no metal mafiaso, I only like a little bit of it (Acid Bath, In Flames, The Gathering, a few more) But I don't think anyone who likes metal should claim Metallica. All the time I hear "oh well they are sellouts now, but their older stuff is good"
Ok, hardly. Enter Sandman and Whiskey in a Jar are 2 songs I can think of that I like, but for them supposedly being the best metal band of all time, they are so highly dissapointing I never want to have to listen to them again!
