Back then, I sounded like EvF talking about Orbital. I've grown out of Metallica, but it was my first "favourite" and I can still appreciate a lot of their work.
Metallica ... most definitely on my list of things to do. I prefer what I euphemistically call "nu-metal" (or "crap" by serious metal fans) but I recognise the historical links and the breakthrough/crossover some bands (like Metallica) have made so I have to listen to them. Sometime I will just create a greatest hits compilation (from various dodgy MP3's) and blitz myself in the car with them ... if I like them I'll buy some CD's.

I really wouldn't call myself an Incubus fan, and every other album of their's is borderline unlistenable, but this one really struck a chord with me. There are a few throwaway tracks, but the majority of the album bounces around in mood and energy, often resulting in great songs. You have some really laid back melancholy tunes like Mexico and 11am, and then prog-tinged jams like Under My Umbrella. It's just a really great rock album.
I like "Admiration" by them (from the soundtrack of "Stealth").
