whiplash
jump in the fire
orion
metal militia
basically anything from the first 3 albums, and maybe 'blackened' from and justice for all..opinion:
i found that metal got pretty fuckin tired sounding after awhile, and i just couldn't stand listening to it anymore...Metallica being one of the main reasons...now i'm not the type that wants a band to produce the same stuff every album...but damn...i do appreciate a little integrity...a little artistic integrity goes a long way...so when i first heard 'enter sandman'...well..that was the end of the road for me...metallica, and the whole genre pretty much had just jumped the shark...a friend once told me, that you could tell when a era in music was coming to an end, when the artists in a certain genre start making 'concept' albums...
prog rock on a grand scale, like pink floyd and genesis kind of died after 'the wall' and 'the lamb lies down on broadway'
or hair metal, when queensryche did 'operation mindcrime'
anyhow....metallica didnt' even wait for the concept album...they took thrash and speed metal and wrote the 'pour some sugar on me' for their genre...ok....thats too many 'genres' in one post...
