Interesting list... I actually liked Chinese Democracy, but Metallica has been in a freefall when it comes to producing new material for the last 20 years.

Between the Napster controversy and putting out shitty albums, I would argue that Axl Rose has alienated fewer fans in the last two decades than Metallica has.

 

And the colored girls say... DARKNESS IMPRISONING ME, ALL THAT I SEE, ABSOLUTE HORROR, I CANNOT LIVE, I CANNOT DIE...

 

Reserve a spot on there for this album. The song linked here is awful.

 

Black Shatner? William Sabbath?

 

Wait, Lou Reed has fans?

 

I certainly didn't mind Chinese Democracy. St. Anger, however, remains the worst album I have ever paid full price for. (I have picked loads of shit out of cut-out bins over the years but you don't expect anything great to come out of there.) As separate albums, Load and Reload were self-indulgent messes but there are enough good songs scattered over each to make one good album.

 

I've heard all of Metallica's albums since 1991, and I've seen them in concert 10 or 11 times over the years and without thinking about it, I can't name a single new song of theirs from the last 20 years. I remember there were a couple on Load that I thought were OK, but the worst songs on Kill Em All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, And Justice for All and the Black Album are better than the best stuff they've produced since then.

 

I love Lou Reed. "Perfect Day" is one of my favorite songs.

 

Rock and Roll Animal is one of the best live albums ever made. Love "Coney Island Baby" and "I Love You, Suzanne" too. And "Walk On The Wild Side" obviously.

 

A "Best of Lou Reed" compilation would be terrific.

A "Worst of Lou Reed" compilation could be used as a torture device.
