I think kill em all was what introduced me to them when I was 9 (and later seeing them on an episode of Saturday night live), but my entire summer of 2000 consisted of listening to the black album and S&M, and trying to force other kids to listen to Metallica as well. So although it was more polished and commercially acceptable than their older work, I enjoyed it just as much, and could still probably sit down and have a listen even though it's been years...
