Glad to see UYI starting to be on these lists. I think they should be rated higher, if not for the music, then for the boldness of releasing two albums on the same day. I know it happens periodically nowadays, but back then it was unheard of.

appetite should've made number one, not metallica, and the illusions should've been ranked higher. but hell, how many bands can flaut a #2 ranking as the greatest metal record ever, PLUS have additional 2 albums on tha list. that's right, nobody but guns n' fucking roses. :smoking:

Ummmmmmmmmmmmm ... Metallica had the #1 album on there PLUS THREE more.  ::)

lol, guns are ten times better and the illusions weren't that metal anyway. 8)

where can i see this list

james cant sing :rofl:

now there's a true statement if ever there was one.

is there a point to what you just said? it doesnt change the fact that what you said in your 1st reply was ignorant to the very list in front of your eyes.  :confused:

and as for guns being ten times "better" then metallica , thats just subjective and nothing more then opinion. Go to a metallica board and the majority will say metallica are ten times better. So theres not much point to these lists when you get down to brass tacks.

yes. i didn't read the actual list you picky little whining bitch.

Thats just ignorance. Not the name calling but the fact you didnt bother to read the list before making an asinine reply about it. The fact that when called on it brought you down to the level of name calling and flaming says alot about your personality and is an infraction of the rules here.

Hopefully a mod will have a talk with you about it.  : ok:

hopefully you will get out of virtual kindergarten soon.

If I would pick a 1#best album by Metallica it would be Master of Puppets. The Black album is an Mtv-whore album, it's overplayed too fucking much. Although I do like the songs Struggle within and Holier than Thou . It's a shame James is no longer a master at heavy riffs.

I'll graduate on August 15th.  : ok:

How about getting back on topic now instead of continuing your little "internet fight" ?  ::)

IMHO , the same can be said for UYI. Geez , were those singles ever overplayed?! And then again , WTTJ , SCOM and PC were maybe in a lil bit too heavy rotation themselves.

"you started it"
i'll go call a mod now

August, your comments are starting to get out of line. Alot of stuff you say is positive towards CD, and you make a few good points, but there is NO reason to personally insult anybody on this forum. Just because someone corrects one of your statements, it doesn't mean you have to resort to name calling. As my Grandma used to say, "If you cant take the heat, get the hell out of the kitchen!"

I know it's imposible for these mags to put every "rock n' roll" act in their proper genre, but it's always strange to see Pearl Jam come in higher than Pantera & Megadeath on a "metal" list. ?:confused:

Please. You remarked , without even reading the list that nobody else could claim having 3 albums on there. I just pointed out the fact that metallica had four on there , one of them being number one.

If thats "starting" something then sir I ask you work on your people skills.

And please , back on topic now please?

Here we go again. :no: Anything even resembling Rock N' Roll gets labeled as "Metal" once again. Hah. :-X

I don't really read those magazines about their opinion on albums, I always disagree with them . I wouldn't put Nirvana ?on that list.

Although there's metal bands I love but I don't listen to every metal band. That's what I can't stand about some Metalheads unlike me, they say if you don't like a specific metal band, you're not considered a metalhead. I 'm a metalhead too but I expand my taste in music not only like the same thing.

Saul you're right. I think UYI was played to the point of overkill even more than the Black album. I remember them doing videos for Illusions when Spaghetti had just been released.

If nirvana were on my list I'd put them at, oh wait I cant count that high. :rofl:

Do people still even read Hit Parader?  Talk about a trashy rag.

A few years ago AFD was number one on the Hit Parader top 100, and Metallica was #2 or 3. And I think at one time KISS ALIVE was the #1 album. So it's basicly the same CDs, but it changes. It?s all kind of arbitrary, what?s the #1 album at any given time. On another note, I feel Metallica is wayyy overrated, but I can see why they?d pick the black album.  Good to see someone giving props to UYI. I wish SPIN and ROLLING STONE would follow suit.

 The reason legit mags ignore the UYI's is because they r 2 seperate albums that just happened to be released on the same day. It's nice that HP puts them together, but they're wrong. Technically, they have different titles so u have to judge them seperately. And seperately they have no business being anywhere near any alltime great lists.

It's the same thing with the term "rock star," and how people like Eminem and 50 Cent are allowed to be deemed such, merely because they're famous, have money, and are allegedly "bad to the bone." I roll my eyes every time a list like this comes out. It's always subjective, and I wish they never did it. I wish the only lists that came out were objective ones, like the best-selling albums, or the albums most people own, or the albums that either made it or broke it for certain bands. I enjoy early Pearl Jam, but they're the furthest thing from metal. Why do these rags feel obligated to always mention these huge, classic bands in their especially non-vague titled lists (metal), when they are clearly the furthest thing from it. Korn is another one; a band who have said they'd like to distance themselves from the term/type of music. Another reason why I fail to see the point of these types of lists is because these albums are all massively popular and are usually in everyone's collection already. Why rank the albums when people are always going to be discontent with where their favorite album falls if it's not #1? It just gets so old. But these types of lists have been produced for years... decades... so it's not anything new, but it IS still a trend that I wish would cease.

Guys, don't wanna sound like a smart ass, but i already posted GNR making it in Hit Parader Top 100 a while back.   : ok:

hyperion, I think I remember that. Maybe this is a new article or something.

How did Queen make the list? They're not metal  :confused:

also funny to see GN'R ranked so high up in a genre they don't belong in!

Sorry hyperionmax2003.? My bad.? :-[
