Is Metallica the greatest heavy metal band ever?

[pamith]

not classified as heavy metal but this is my thing

Not bad!

Pantera played there and produced the greatest live breakdown in music history.

It's impossible to pick one, but i think Pantera was a once in a lifetime creation IMO.

So simple, yet complex.

So much energy, with emotion.

Cowboy's from hell and Vulgar display of power are legendary.

Then you have Maiden, Megadeth, Metallica, etc.

A lot of good options.

My brother and I have a top 10 list, a list you would choose if you could only listen to 10 albums for the rest of your life.

Pantera's Cowboy's From Hell is on it.

Cemetary Gates is one of the reasons I picked up a guitar.

Yet I've seen Metallica 5 times.

Everything before the Black album is masterful.

I cannot disagree with any of this.

Ratt & Roll one of the best albums ever!

I love heavy metal and hard rock, but I don't really like Metallica. Iron Maiden is good yes, and so is AC/DC. Listening to Metallica makes my mood worse, Iron Maiden and AC/DC improve my mood. Alice in Chains and Soundgarden probably don't qualify as heavy metal but they're awesome.

What do you think it is about Metallica which makes their music depressing to you?

I don't find anything depressing at all about Metallica, but can easily say the subject matter around Fade to Black, MoP, Fight Fire with Fire, Creeping Death, Disposable Heroes, Sanitarium, Right the Lightning, One, Harvester of Sorrow, Blackened etc.......is not the most uplifting subject matter lol

Unless you're really into suicide, drug addiction, plague, war, executions, global destruction, etc.

I find the album ''Kill 'em All'' quite uplifting.

I find the album ''Kill 'em All'' quite uplifting.

Notice how I did not include songs from that one.

Most of Kill 'em All" is just power metal songs without really heavy subject matter.  Ride - AJFA got a bit deeper.

Late to the convo, and I think introducing some true punks - Anthrax:

Opening track to "Sons of Fun" - not a gay movie, a billabong surf vid - early 90's super sick sound track.

Awesome! Currently listening to Metallica (master of puppets) \m/
