There has been a fair amount of Metallica I've liked, but ever since the 
PR-fiasco back around the time of Napster I haven't been able to bring 
myself to listen to them anymore. *Not* out of deliberate spite or 
difference-of-opinion, but I just have trouble seeing them the same way 
anymore. I dunno...

But like I said in another branch, I'm more a Megadeth kinda guy anyway. 
Mainly the albums "Countdown to Extinction" and (other Megadeth fans are 
probably gonna lynch me for saying this) "Cryptic Writings". Although 
they're still not one of my favorite bands. Those would be more like Iron 
Maiden (mainly the newer stuff, but also Powerslave and Seventh Son), 
earlier Nine Inch Nails (With Teeth and Year Zero weren't bad, but they were 
the beginning of a downfall), KMFDM (both old- and new-style), and My Life 
With The Thrill Kill Kult. (And yea, a lot of that's not really metal.)
