I think Metallica takes this bracket. Black album is full of decently hard rocking, entertaining, immaculately performed, easily listenable hits. Everything before it is amazing on a different level.
 
I see we have lots of assholes in here. 3 votes for Black Keyes is laughable. Idiots (except pookie).
 
Superfan @Swaye where do you come down on Black album & beyond?

Black album was great, nothing like the first 4 which were otherworldly. Beyond Black they have had some good stuff on their last coupe of albums. Load and Re-load were abortions.

I think if you gave St. Anger, Death Magnetic and Hardwired a chance you would like some of it. It isn't Master of Puppets or Ride The Lightning legendary shit, but it is good. Load, Reload and S&M you can flush into a toilet.
 
the Black Keys do more creative stuff and I like blues-influenced music

In spite of my vote for Metallica, I prolly listen to the first 3 Black Keys records than Metallica's stuff. I fully appreciate and get Metallica and they are the #2 "true" metal band of all time (I consider Zep and AC DC as more "hard rock / metal"). But I really have to be in the right mood to listen. I was listening to Kill 'em All on the way home and thought I might crash my old SUV off the Aurora Bridge.

I love S&M.

I once loudly exclaimed that at work during a Metallica discussion. If anyone overheard that and took it out of context I didn't get any offers.

If crashing an old SUV off the Aurora Bridge while headbanging "Am I Evil" is wrong, I don't want to be right.
 
Yella (I like to make you sound like an NWA member), listen to the following songs in this order.

1) Fade to Black
2) For Whom The Bell Tolls
3) Blackened
4) Master of Puppets
5) Battery

Slow and steady to mindnumbingly awesome. If by 5 you are not completely invigorated and ready to charge a hill and kill everything at the top, then you are doing it wrong.

I am not cultured like you and when I heard an orchestra playing Creeping Death I puked on my date.

He was pissed.
