Really? I personally listen to Megadeth hell of a lot more than Metallica and apart from maybe' risk' I like all of their output but we go back a long wayI guess.
 
I'm the same way, it wasn't always like that though. I use to be very pro Metallica back in 2000-2001. I knew of Megadeth and had a few of their albums (Countdown to Extinction, Rust in Peace, Peace Sells... But Who's Buying) etc. As the years went by my love affair with Metallica came to an end but I was finding myself enjoying Megadeth far more, funny how that happens.
 
Saves the Day - In Reverie
Not a fan of this band, but this album blew me away and made me take them seriously. One of my favorites of this decade. Unfortunatly most of their fanbase hated it and they went back to their earlier sound.

The Ataris - Welcome the Night
Pop punk singer Kris Roe gets a whole new lineup for his band, listens to alot of Slowdive, Swervedriver, and My Bloody Valentine and creates a wonderful shoegaze influenced, moody rock record - most fans hate it and now he's writing mediocre pop punk again. Another favorite of mine by a band I dont really care for otherwise.

Alice in Chains - Dirt
Let me first say I don't hate or dislike Alice in Chains by any means. This album is just so far above their other material that it warrants mentioning. Aside from the overplayed "Rooster" this might be the best non-Nirvana "Grunge" record - I prefer it to Ten, Superfuzz Bigmuff, and Superunknown

Hopesfall - The Satellite Years
An otherwise lame screamy metalcore band, but on this record they had production help from Matt Talbott of Hum - who was also an obvious influence on the sound. What results is beautiful layered technical guitar work amiRABt a sea of fuzzy heavy guitars, with low-mixed screaming that blenRAB into the music. Aside from Dillinger Escape Plan's Calculating Infinity this is the only other record I love with mostly screaming vocals.
 
A bit of a different spin on an old favourite.

What banRAB have you found to dislike for basically any reason, but still listen to their one gem?

For me it's Pantera's Vulgar Display of Power, this album just crushes the skull and is great for it. I can't get away with anything else by them, but Vulgar Display is just brilliant.
 
Garbage -S/T. The rest of their output is bland but the debut is fantastic.
Happy Mondays-Pills Thrills and Bellyaches. nothing else come close.
Mastodon-Crack The Skye. What else I have heard of them has bored me rigid.
 
That's weird. They have several albums that are fairly similar stylistically to SFTB and, IMHO, they're all somewhat better albums than it. The one's I'm talking about, in case you haven't heard them, are:

Love Of Life (my favorite Swans album)
The Great Annihilator
White Light From The Mouth Of Infinity
Die Tur Ist Zu
 
I despise the sweet holy hell out of Coldplay, but I can't deny that "A Rush of Blood to the Head" pops up in my CD player more often than I'd like to admit.
 
Well technically Jar of Flies is an EP, but I'd agree some of the stuff on there stanRAB up there with Dirt high above the rest of the catalog.
 
man i was debating myself whether i wanted to make this thread a few days ago, but it seems you've beaten me to the punch Comus


but yeah, when i got Arise from Sepultura, i didn't like it, but i recently got Chaos AD and it turned it completely around for me



i think i might cry.......
 
"A Brief History of Rhyme: MC Hawkings Greatest Hits" - MC Hawking

I normally don't like nerdcore that much, but this album was pretty good, however I can't listen to it very often.
