I've listened to Metallica for years, but I have just started getting into metal over the past year.
What I like: Megadeth (Rust in Peace, KIMB, So far so good, basically everything except Risk) ;Metallica(Master of Puppets, Ride the Lightning, Justice for All); Dream Theater; Pantera (Only a few songs I really enjoy: Cemetery Gates, Walk, Cowboys from Hell); various Black Sabbath on occassion; Avenged Sevenfold (City of Evil)
Albums I have that are ok in small doses: Metal Church(Metal Church); Testament (Practice what you preach & Souls of Black)
Have and Don't like: Slayer(Reign in Blood); Anthrax (Amongst the living); Venom (Black Metal)
A few favorite songs: In My Darkest Hour, Holy Wars, Cemetery Gates, Master of Puppets, The Call of Ktulu
I'm been browsing this forum and there are just too many recommendations for me to make a good decision on which 3-4 albums to purchase first. I enjoy guitar solos, I am less into screaming and looking for more clean vocals. I like the thrash style from Megadeth and early Metallica, but I haven't really got hooked on the other thrash bands I've tried. I like dream theater's instrumentals and they make up for the vocals being a bit to airy and sometimes just annoying.
These are what I have been looking at so far, but feel free to suggest something else:
Adagio- Underworld 2003 Next Profundis
Symphony X (maybe the odyssey)
Slayer- South of Heaven(heard one song of this album on Pandora I liked, forgot which one it was though) & Seasons in the Abyss
Dark Angel- Time Does Not Heal- Darkness Descends
Andromeda-extension of the wish
Kreator
Nevermore
Opeth
Wintersun-Wintersun
Ensiferum-Ensiferum
