Its funny how a lot of people (including myself) have to put Metallica in their list, but place it last so it doesn't get left out completely. I don't know why that's funny, but it is.

I don't listen to them as much as I did back in the day, but I bump Kill 'Em All too regularly to leave them out.

I've always, considered black sabbath a hard rock band and not metal,

And here I thought you were all Scorpions and Bon Jovi :)

I have to say I've never been able to get into Sepultura for the same reason I've never been a major Slayer fan, (I just don't care for the chromatics in the musical scales they use.)

Perhaps I should start a help William like Sepultura thread
