So heres my Metallica feature:
The first time I ever heard Metal was back in high school when I was about 13 or 14, a guy gave me a custom made compilation of Metallica tracks which I thought was long lost when I recentley found it (& have since lost it again lol). Amongst the first tracks I heard were 'Fuel', 'Fade To Black', 'Of Wolf & Man'....& more I cant remember.
I have since went out and got all their albums: my favourite is 'Ride The Lightning', 'Kill E'm All' is also immense. 'Re-Load' & the most recent one 'Death Magnetic' are also amongst my favourites.
I also love S&M- such an epic album.
Metal purists may slate them for cutting their hair/going commercial or whatever but I am a music purist & to me the music was still amazing as was the S&M concert.
Heres a true classic & my favourite version of this song:
Another f*cking classic- S&M again.
Going back a bit now, this ones off my favourite album of theirs of the same name. Words cannot express the joy I feel everytime I hear that opening riff.
Another kick ass song from 'Ride The Lightning'.
As you can tell I love S&M versions the best.
Another off Ride The Lightning: I love the lyrics to this song.
When it comes to 'RTL' the list in endless..
Finally:
It took me a while before I eventually got 'Kill E'm All'. Very good debut.
This is my favourite track of Kill Em' All.
Other good ones include:

Finally, whatever people say about their new album I think it is excellent and one of the best they've ever done.
Definitley better than St Anger although there are some good tracks on that album that I think get overlooked often:
I love this song & I think the video is pretty cool.
Apart from those songs St Anger sucks IMO.
Death Magnetic:
This song has one of the best intro riffs Ive heard from them in years.
Amazing track
The Unforgiven III! Similar feel to the two previous songs, they dont say 'Unforgiven 3' in it though.
There you have it, hope you enjoyed my 'Metallica feature'.
Some may argue I left out classics such as 'One' or tracks off Master Of Puppets but I dont really care for either album TBH.
