I used to think that Heavy Metal was just unmitigated crap until I came across a group called Apocalyptica, and their first CD: "plays Metallica by four cellos". It was the first time I'd actually heard the variation and quality of the music instead of the clash-bang of over-done bass levels. I'd recommend the CD to anyone who has doubts about the potential of Heavy Metal.
(But I still hate car radios and those people who think I should be listening along with them to their iPods.)
Apocalyptica is amazing! I like their versions of the songs better than the originals. I'm not a Metallica fan, but I give Metallica credit for introducing me to the genre.
