I don't write off metal because I only like a couple of bands, I still look for good stuff.

I would counter that you could be using your time more productively--like watching the Phillies stomp the Reds...

Ohhhkay!

'New Dawn Fades' played first when I added it back to my iTunes library and I'm digging this groove. And I already really like the next track, 'She's Lost Control'...

"She's Lost Control" is a great song. Fantastic bassline there.

It's my favorite of all of the Joy Division songs I've heard!

Yeah, I think "She's Lost Control" is probably the best song on Unknown Pleasures.

This one might get me in trouble with the purists but I preferred Judas Priest when Tim 'Ripper' Owens fronted them than Rob Halford. My first Judas Priest album was Jugulator (1997) and that completely set the tone as far as what I was expecting from the band. I'll still admit that albums like British Steel (1980) and Sad Wings of Destiny (1976) are brilliant, but Jugulator (1997) was my first, and often your first will be your favourite. Tim 'Ripper' Owens' voice just really worked for me, it was aggressive, melodic, and really stood out. Not only that but the rest of the band really pushed the envelope in terms of heaviness, surpassing nearly all the bands they had inspired, which is always a sight to be seen.

Jugulator was pretty much a hit and miss album for me. Death Row is an underrated classic though.
