In places where metal is part of the culture as a birthplace it’s easy to forget that metal might be prolific but it hasn’t saturated every market yet.

Hands down my favorite track by Metallica. I’m going to check out those bands you mentioned. Always looking for new tunes

No hate here, everyone is entitled to their opinion. You brought up good points and I felt the same way you did for a while but I figure there’s some things we can move past

That’s fair if you grew up in the US and I understand that it is likely that a good number in the community did as well but that wasn’t my experience. Maybe stretch your imagination further than your own borders and things will seem less odd.

Breaking Benjamin feat. Lacey Sturm -Dear Agony

She was the lead singer of a band called Flyleaf, their self titled and second album are worth putting on at least once.

The Clash -London Calling

Speaks for itself I think

Freaking sweet, that was badass

What a sick album. Every once in a while there’s a hardcore punk album worth listening to, they’ve got two IMO

Spin it! Clearly it’s been too long

Out of this world! Drips so much funk you could scoop and eat it with chips on the side

Cash every time. He owned the song so hard it has made Trent Reznor impressed and a little jealous
