Metallica

[Suffice]

Metallica is one of the few Heavy Metal bands that i really like. Espeically their older shit. THeir new stuff sounds too redneckish for me, but check out the songs in this list:

1. Enter Sandman - Their greatest hit ever. this is the quintessence of heavy metal, this is the shit that precipitated their downfall thou
2. Battery - This is some great thrash shit from thier "Master of Puppets" CD. A little too hardcore for some, but awesome
3. Damage, INC. - i'm not really feeling the song that much, until the guitar solo kicks in. Thats the fastest solo i've ever heard
4. From Whom The Bell Tolls - This shit is classic  right here. U MUST hear this if you're a fan of Metallica and still haven't.
5. King Nothing - Their attempt to diverge from their already deeply-set redneck style. GOod song, i have to admit
6. Mama Said - A great ballad from one of their worst albums, "Load"
7. Nothing Else Matters - One of my favorite songs of all time. A timeless classic, a ballad like no other.
8. One - the best song from their political album "...And justice for all"
9. Sad But True - A great Heavy ass Metal song from the Black album.
10. Sanitarium - The Best song from "Master of Puppets". As the title suggests, its' about a crazy guy.
11. The call of Ktulu - Great track. One of my favorite metallica songs, and metal songs in general. It's only instrumental though.
12. The Unforgiven - My second favorite metallica song after "NOthing Else Matters". incredible melodies here, great solo
13. The Unforgiven 2 - Not as good as the original, but it's still better than most of thier new shit.
14. Turn the Page - The best song from the Redneck phase
15. Until it Sleeps - A very mild song compared to their older thrash shit.
16. Fade to Black - The best song off the "Ride the lightning" CD. it's 7 minutes long, and it's fuckin amazing.
17. Wherever i may roam - Great Heavy song from the Black album. A little too heavy for many listeners though.
18. I Disappear - this was on the MIssion Impossible 2 soundtrack, so u mighta heard this. good song.

Alright, this concludes my favorite rock bands series, for now. post your opinions, additions.

yeah Metallica is one of my favourite bands - theyve had alot more staying power then most other bands and a great live band.

i love pretty much all the songs on your list - Master Of Puppets and Hero Of The Day are also great. As is their version of the 'Star Wars Imperial March.' Enter Sandman is overrated.

Fuel was the song that made me go like 

but I dont listen to them that much hardly anymore.. Enter Sandman is defenetly the best. I've always liked the unforgiven 2 also..  good band, im just not into them anymore, I listen to them once and a while on the rare occasion, but play their songs on guitar often
