My question to you all is, have you ever heard an album or song and wondered how you 'got by' in the past not knowing of the music in question? For instance, you discover a band and you really love the music they make. You wonder how you enjoyed music in this way before you made this discovery.

I think this is only possible in hindsight as you don't know any better. You can't think, "Wow, I can't wait to discover this amazing band and have them completely reinvent my outlook on music!". But I find, when I hear a new band or song which I really love, it contrasts with everything else and makes it seem pretty, average.

I don't even know what I am talking about here.

The following album had the same effect on me in that the music is so amazing that it made me forget about many classic hard rocking/metal albums of yesteryear, although this "feeling" does have a tendency to happen every now and then...

I don't know how I ever lived without Dark Empire. They're one of the best bands to form in this decade, in my opinion. How I survived without their two albums is a mystery for me to this day. They're just pure metal magic.

Ensiferum and Sabaton is for me biggest discovery at last time. And band without can´t I live? That is Judas Priest, my favorite one.

I think In Flames was really that band for me. THat was really when I started to turn onto the more extreme forms of metal. Before that it was more "friendly" metal, like thrash and traditional heavy, as well as some power.

Metal in general. When I was 16 and first heard death metal, I thought to myself "How did I not know about this? This is awesome!"

after that, specific bands would be Avenger, Rotting Christ, Hell-Born, and Bolt Thrower and some others.

I have no idea how I survived without Opeth. They influenced me deeply and Mikael Akerfeldt is my idol, he gets my full respect.

Numbskull

The year: 1977

The group/album: Black Sabbath/We sold our souls for rock-n-roll

I had been listening to bands like April Wine, Aerosmith, Boston....
And then I heard Black Sabbath. It was so dark and heavy. The bass and guitar sounded like something straight from hell. Ozzy's haunting wail sounded like a tortured soul trapped in hell. At the time I thought ...man is this some evil music. It was like I had found the key that opened a lock and the metal poured in. Then, there was Judas Priest with their speed and power - and, Halfords searing vocals.

Rammstein is ridiculous. Everyone loves them, yet their musicianship is pretty low. They barely alternate between two riffs a song and the techno keyboards everyone likes. They're pretty much a gimmick. Catchy songs, Lindemann's bass voice, German lyrics (seriously, kids think they're so cool for listening to "German metal") and stage performances akin to KISS.

I like them too, they're great at making catchy and addicting music, but there's no need to praise them as some metal masters.

Well thats the industrial genre, two riffs a song and no solo and their stage performance is way more superior than KISS, I haven't seen anyone else do the things they do on stage.

Yet bands like Godflesh pull it off much better. Also, being a good actor =/= being a good musician.

He never claimed they they're 'musical wizards' or 'masters' as you say or even 'good' musicians, all he said was that he wish he had heard about them earlier.

Sorry, it was worded in such a way that it sounded like he found something particularly great in them.

Hardly. Just because I don't listen to some more extreme metal genres, doesn't mean I never tried.
