Not really much to say. Metallica was the heavy metal band that brought heavy metal to the world in general.
Good song-writing, great compositions (I'm seriously looking for the cello quartet version of the black album) and flair gave them their well-earned success.
HOF for sure.

I know they are a huge metal band, but I used to like them a whole lot. But, then I completely lost interest in metal, but I remember how great they were... partly. So, I vote good for Metallica.

Needs two polls:
1. During Cliff
2. After Cliff
Then the answer would be:
1. Cool
2. Get a New Profession
Since Enter Sandman was posted and Lars is and was (even during the good years) the worst drummer to ever be called good, I vote get a new profession.

Metallica is deffinately a Rock of Fame band.They brought metal to the world.
Their first few albums were great,but after the Black album they sorta went a lil soft.No matter though, Metallica will always be in my library of top ten most listened to artists.

Whiskey in the Jar is the most annoying song I've ever heard on 94.5 The Buzz. They were good, key word is good. But now I just plain don't like them. Maybe it's time they hung up their instruments and called it a day.

Hall 'o Fame. Metallica really got metal going, which sparked a big revolution in music (Early 90's anyone?)

I put HoF only because Kill Em All, Ride the Lightening and Master of Puppets. All of there other albums where mostly filler. They were very good in the early mid 80's but then dropped off big time and became some of the snobby musicians around. They didn't invent Trash like people claim.. they just made it popular. Slayer, Exodus, Overkill and Venom were better and came first. But, Kill Em All, Ride the Lightening and MoP were so good they get HoF.
EDIT: Also since a song off one of their worse albums was posted I'll post what I think was there best.
When I think Metallica I think of this song.
I love this song, it's a lyrical juggernaut.
Kicking Mustaine out was the biggest mistake they made.

If it wasn't for it, we didn't have Megadeth.
Anyway, Metallica is clearly HoF to me. Ante-Black Album era was a almost unmatched masterpiece, that made them legends.
And I have to say that, although I think that post-...And Justice for all era was quite weak, I don't mind listening to one or two music from that era.

They never really stuck out or did anything amazing for me, once a band has that many albums under a reasonably similar sound it all just blurs together. They did push heavy metal into the limelight but that's not particularly a good thing, they hardly pioneered the genre itself. It's a 'cool' from me.

Talking about the musical mainstream. Knowing that heavy metal exists is different from actually listening to it willingly. This is not to slight Sabbath... it's just that Metallica pushed metal into the mainstream... into pop radio and MTV. It's the metal that non-metalheads actually listened to.

I dug Metallica when I was younger, but I honestly cant event listen to them anymore. After getting into Dream Theater/Meshuggah/Opeth/etc, Metallica is boring and predictable.

They would have to be HOF whether you like them or not just for their contribution to the music industry (not including, ahem napster).
Personally i think they have gone downhill since And Justice For All.
I saw them in Melbourne on the Justice tour 1989, I think from memory, and to this day it's still the best concert I have seen and i've seen a lot of bands over the years
What a shame that Cliff died in that bus crash, he was an amazing bass player.

The third option with 'genre/style' substituted for 'artist' sums up my feelings pretty succinctly.
Fuel & I disappear are two Metallica songs that I do like, but that probably shows more than anything that i'm not that much of a Metallica fan, based on the comments above.

I have a Metallica tattoo, son! Hall of fame for sure. If it wasn't for Metallica I'd have never heard the Misfits and gotten into punk. That would've been a shamed.
Also, Kill Em All = Best Thrash Album. Ever.
