God, I never really go on FB anymore, but I gotta check out Ry's post! Great list Eeeeric. I'll have to think about it myself, because while there is certain cross overs (and you and your gang are probably the main force in introducing me to that kind of music) I probably have some major differences from your list.
Metallica though, I remember somehow finding out about Master of Puppets while I was still at Lincoln and making my dad listen to the tape with me while he drove me to school in the mornings. What kind of cheesy kid thinks his dad is gonna like Master of Puppets. That was an amazing tape.
