You could always write an essay for the Documents section of the site. What I would really like is that the documents there got a "Comment" facility.

No matter what the decision was, it was always going to be controversial. I'm sure those who were for them being added will respect the final decision, even though they disagree with it.


Cry I'm sad and disagree, but of course I respect the decision you made....

Exactly what I've said, the final decision would end up with the site owners.

Yes, Sabbath are a legend with Ozzy as the Icon. Metallica, though, are the ones that stand as the standard in inventive heavy metal. Sales wise, success wise, & influence wise that have surpassed all but Led Zep in the heavy duty sweepstakes. And if "progginess" were the determining factor, well ... Sabbath were not exactly prog monsters. Whereas a listen to Master of Puppets & And Justice for All clearly exhibit many prog qualities - time / tempo changes, multi part suites (although not the 20 minute version), and "deep" lyrics. Apart from some dissonant chord changes & the occasional "jazzy" interludes, not much of Sabbath come close to prog.
Now for those who think this biased, I am more of a fan of Black Sabbath than Metallica.

well, it depends on the era. Early METALLICA (83-88) is quite metalish, influental and proggy. I'd say Prog-Related, and only because of this era.


I think the Wizard is saying Sabbath kick the living sh*t out of Metallica on almost every level... but I could be wrong

So now we're just discussing where to include them?

Just like Megadeth, Black Sabbath and Judas Priest, Metallica's already acknowledged in the History of Progressive Metal text. I'm all for Andu's suggestion. There's a lot of info here that could make that text better. Undoubtly most people think of Metallica as a band mainly belonging in a non-prog genre, but still related and very influential to Prog-Metal. Very much in  the same way Black Sabbath is historically important to PM, and desereves a mention.

That's true ... they contain glitches and errors. But I don't mind, they're rare and without the book/transcription it would take much, much longer to learn the song.
