^ Electronic dance music is horribly overlooked as a valid form of musical expression. Happy Hardcore particularly so.

Electronic music is the future of music.

Frank Zappa's Freak Out! is the best and most influential album of the 60s.

No one could play guitar like Frank Zappa. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seBNQwKswI0

Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon is overrated (although I used to sing its praises).

I sometimes wish Fugazi had just thought 'fuck it' and signed to one of the major labels salivating over them in the '90s so more people could have heard how absolutely fucking awesome they were.

This. Fugazi were phenomenal.

Indeed, ...And Justice For all is my favourite Metallica album which might be an unpopular opinion in itself.

I think that they should've ended on The Black Album, then release Garage Inc. and a best of as their final farewell compilations. A popular opinion perhaps?

I think most Metallica fans would agree The Black Album was the last truly great thing they did (though many aren't keen on that either - some because of the ballads and perceived commercial direction, some for more serious reasons such James' decision to start wearing cowboy boots). I'm still glad they never split up though. Load and Re-Load were disappointing overall but there's still a handful of awesome tracks on each (The House That Jack Built and Where The Wild Things Are being my two particular favourites from that era) Death Magnetic was a brilliant record and they're still fantastic (and fantastically loud) live. St Anger on the other hand, well, there's not a lot I can say on that one because, despite listening to it a fair few times I literally can't remember anything about it.

I actually love The Black Album. Load and Reload have some good 'uns on it. My only quibble with Death Magnetic was the loudness war and compression, though there's a torrent going round which 'fixes' this issue.

St. Anger is (in some aspects) like Lulu in my opinion, the way both sound like just a series of outtake riffs lazily compiled together.
