Speaking of which, I thought you might find this interesting:

MTV described Reign in Blood as essential listening, and the album was ranked number 7 on IGN's "Top 25 Most Influential Metal Albums."

Not much. I only like a handfull of bands that are not metal but they are rock: Old 70's Rainbow with Dio,old Kiss (although I don't listen to them anymore)Motorhead,Pentagram,Tank's first album. Thats pretty much about it. I like some old Tom Petty. I'm extremely narrow-minded with music,its all metal pretty much for me but thats what I like,it doesn't bother me that I don't like other genres of music but to each his own eh?

Well,thats open for opinion. "Great stuff" to you may be not so great to me,same with some of my stuff isn't so great to you. There may be some metal that you don't like that I would think your missing out on,but we can only like what we like,just like food.

Metal I don't like?

I just mean if you listen to other types of music, you might find you like it.
