I first listened to Metallica when I was getting into metal around 2005/06. Kerrang! featured a cover album of Master of Puppets which I thought sounded pretty cool, so I bought an album from the band itself (And Justice For All) and loved it. Ever since then, I've discovered some of my favourite albums of all time and others which aren't so great...
