About Me

My interest as respects this personal blog begins and ends with one common thread...music. It's no more than than an opinionated outlet for my own musical inclinations and tastes. Feel free to take a tune or leave a tune...I've always been one to share the good stuff.

Top 20 Metallica Songs

NOTE: As can probably be ascertained by this list, I find the first four Metallica albums vastly superior to their later efforts. Just personal preference but The Black Album marked a conscious effort to appeal to a wider audience and the follow-up efforts just haven't delivered the classic thrash hallmark that drew me to Metallica. I fully understand and respect an artist's desire to evolve sonically and creatively over time. As a fan, I simply prefer the formulas concocted on Kill 'Em All, Ride The Lightning, Master of Puppets, and ...And Justice For All. Those four albums are stellar in their own different ways and paved the way to make Metallica the biggest heavy metal band of all time.
