[Danger Mouse]

18. Patti Smith...nice choice

[mitchum]

16. Rolling Stones "Jumpin' Jack Flash" directed in 1968 by Michael...

Lindsay Hogg
Nothing touches it

[Danger Mouse]

17. That's like...my favorite stones song...

...next to 'Gimme Shelter'
I don't even like the stones...i can't stand 90% of their songs...
but jumping jack flash validates their entire career ;)

[carly denise pt deux]

30. That is their best song IMHO.....that bass line /guitar is awesome

Carly

[Broken_Hero]

19. Take on Me, by A-Ha, and One by Metallica nt

[Danger Mouse]

21. One....classic video...

and Metallica's best song, along with 'To Live is to Die'

[Broken_Hero]

22. to live is to die,

is my favorite instrumental by Metallica....

[Danger Mouse]

24. and it's a damn good one at that =)

Metallica used to rock...what happened? =P
I really liked 'Hero of the Day'...though...

[Broken_Hero]

26. I like most of their music

they are still my favorite band...some of their later cds weren't as good as their first ones, but I thought they were still good. People/bands change, and Metallica has changed, just like I have. When I first listened to them in the late 80's, I was a social outcast in Junior High, and their lyrics spoke to me, now I'm grown, got a mortgage, wife, bills...the usual life junk, and I've definately changed during those years...

I don't knock Metallica in the least, I'm just always keeping a watchful eye out for other/younger bands who can produce the same level of music, and so far, it hasn't happened yet, imo, of course...:D
