Metallica did indeed influence prog metal, but really they had a broad influence on metal in general.
To my mind, the first four albums have something to do with prog to varying degrees.
The album Metallica retained a bit of thrash metal here and there (notably on Sad But True, which is essentially groove metal, a genre that is derived from thrash metal).
I'll vote Load for least proggy....a lot to do with it being extremely stripped down in arrangement really.

I 100% agree with you. The Black Album isn't very proggy at all, but I still enjoy it so I voted St. Anger (trust me if you've never heard it, you don't want to).LOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOL

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

I think many of the albums (With the exception of St. Anger-which is really a horrible album) have an influence on the prog metal genre (especially their newest one). Just wondering what others thought.TongueTongueTongueTongueTongueTongueTongueTongue
