[Inso]

Amen to metallica.

There are more but can't think of right now...

 

[Belligerent]

Metallica (KeA, RtL, MoP)
In Flames (Jester, Whoracle)

ugh im drawing a blank

 

[TheBountyKiller]

Well, I don't dislike them but the early work was definitely better:

Anthrax
Metallica
Megadeth
Slayer
Iron Maiden
Queensryche
Judas Priest
Guns n roses
Skid row

 

[Slayed Necros]

Therion
Amorphis
Tiamat
Samael
Katatonia
Emperor
Edge of Sanity
Enslaved

Probably a lot more.

 

[IntoPhagist]

Drawing Blanks but they're are plenty

 

[wandering_taco]

probably invitation to be flamed but I still occassionally get the urge to throw on slipknots old stuff

 

[Hail The Wizard!]

Cannibal Corpse as well actually.

 

[DarkBliss]

Metallica have five great albums under their belt, all of varying degrees of ruledom

AJFA>KEA=RTL>MOP=self/titled

Also, Belligerent, if you like three albums from a certain artist, how can you say that you dislike him? Hell, I can claim to be a fan of a band even if I only like one of their records. It's not like there are many artists with extensive and highly consistent discographies.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Anthrax. First two albums are fun (and I like Persistence of Time as well) but as a whole the band can fuck off and die.

 

[-CC-]

Therion
Entombed
Unearth (their debut was good, thats it)

 

[Hail The Wizard!]

Anthrax. First two albums are fun (and I like Persistence of Time as well) but as a whole the band can fuck off and die.

You speak the truth!

 

[Addo_Of_Nex]

At the Gates
Immortal
Death (to some extent)

 

[RedinTheSky]

Metallica - First Four and Garage Days
Megadeth - Up To Countdown
In Flames - Up to The Jester Race
Amorphis - First Two and Mini Albums
Therion - Beyond Sanctorum, Symphony Masses ( Haven't heard Of Darkness )
Ulver - First Three
Satyricon - First Three and Mediggo
Children of Bodom - First Two
Slayer - First Two (Seasons is passable but nowhere near as good)
Pantera - Power Metal and Cowboys From Hell
Sepultura - Up to Arise

There are a lot more, I'm sure, and definitely some in non metal too.

 

[divine_torture]

Dimmu Borgir
Lamb of God
Dying Fetus
Obituary

 

[Badbird]

As much as I dislike the band Pantera. Cowboys From Hell was a great album.

 

[Lateralus14]

I don't really have a lot where I just like a debut and nothing else but I dislike

Metallica - past AJFA
Slayer - past RiB
In Flames - past Whoracle
Emperor - past Anthems
Amorphis - past Tales (sometimes just past Isthmus..)
Darkthrone - past TH

And don't dislike but notice a massive drop in liking with

Bathory - past Hammerheart
Katatonia - past BMD (hell I love TD and really like NITND, but it's still nothing to the two doom full lengths, which are some of my all time favorite albums..)

 

[ArneZ]

Metallica
Iron Maiden
Guns n roses

Early In Flames, COB and Dragonforce were also better before then they are now, but I still dont dislike them at all. There are also tons of other bands, but also the other way around.

 

[The Ozzman]

As much as I dislike the band Pantera. Cowboys From Hell was a great album.

Pretty much the only thing worth getting from Pantera other than Power Metal (but that is oop)
