What band first got you into Metal?

Like most of the metalheads on MB, it all started with Metallica. I hated metal wit a passion (my two younger brothers loved it) until I was fifteenish. I was doing some chores and didn't have my iPod on me, so I asked my little brother for his. I chose Metallica's Ride The Lightning completely at random, and all of a sudden, it made sense. I was in awe.

After Metallica, I got into Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Megadeth, Anthrax (more or less in that order). After that I got into more experimental music, which has opened the doors for me to accept some of the more extreme subgenres of metal. I'm no expert by any means (and thus, really appreciate Unknown Soldier and Batlord, since I can basically take notes off of whatever they post), and am still exploring the genre. Tally ho.
