Metallica was never my favorite band, but I like their older stuff. I've always been a Rock n Roll fan. Some really early favorites were Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Jimi Hendrix, and even the Beatles. By early High School I'd added bands like Iron Maiden, Metallica, Slayer, and Sepultura to my list.
Then some of my friends got into punk. It took me a while to "convert" but now (17 years later) it's by far my favorite genre of rock. Punks got all the guitar noise I loved about metal, but I find the lyrics much more fun to listen to. I could go into a giant list of my favorites but I'll just say that my punk CD collection is posted on my website. I'm also running a radio station if you'd care to listen.
