That you are correct. As a die hard  fan I love all there albums including there later stuff, but the "Black Album" was the beginning of the end for there thrash sound which they were the greatest at. The best albums by Metallica were Master of Puppets, Kill em All, Ride the Ligtening and And Justice for All...
As of this week I am singing in a band again. It is going to be a lot of fun. We are only working on Cover Songs at the moment but my goal is to get eventually start doing our own songs (I have like a million Thrash songs influenced by Metallica written). At the moment we are doing For Whom the Bells Toll by Metallica and Thunderstruck by AC/DC.
As for the albums that influenced me the most here they are:
Metallica - Master of Puppets 1986 
Metallica - Kill Em All 1983 
Metallica - Ride The Lightning 1984 
Metallica - And Justice For All... 1988 
Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast - 1982 
Megadeth - Peace Sells... But Who's Buying? 1986 
Iced Earth - Burnt Offerings 1995 
Slayer - Reign In Blood 1986 
Slayer - Seasons In The Abyss 1990 
Pink Floyd - The Wall 1979 
Ozzy Osbourne - Blizzard Of Ozz 1980 
Deep Purple - Machine Head 1972

Country:  | Good listing Adler... I would have added the other early Metallica, but after the first, I was hooked, therefore, the others were an automatic given...

Country: | Master of Puppets for me was the greatest they did because it defined the genre of music and it is possibly the best Heavy Metal album ever written.

Country: | Very interesting opinions adler and primus. I do agree that the black album is not some of their thrashiest stuff but it was the album that introduced me to the power that is metallica. I do like all of their stuff. this is just my reason for choosing the black album

Having been a true follower of Metallica since the 80s I love all there albums including Load and ReLoad. I will admit that I was not fond of St. Anger all that much but at the same time I dont expect Metallica to put out the same album every time. That would be boring. I do however prefer the stuff from Kill Em All to And Justice For All...

Classic listing there track... Pink Floyds Wish U Were Here is another that I listened to alot...
"Welcome my son... Welcome, to the machine...." | Right you are Les. Not Geddy. Too many beers. 
I too like Pink Floyd - Animals. But the lyrics and story is much too cerebral. And the recording is not worth a ****. A let down coming from a band whose recordings were considered state of the art. But what about the album Meddle with dark instrumental One of These Days...
"One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces!"
What a story that music tells and only one line of lyrics.

my top 3 | Sgt. Peppers...that definitely was influencing. Everyband in the early 70s tried to mimic it. Nice pick.

Country:  | The albums that made my taste were those I were woken up to by my brother:
Pearl Jam - Ten
Alice in Chains - Dirt
Mother Love Bone - Apple
Temple of the Dog - Temple of the Dog
Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger
Stone Temple Pilots - Core
From those albums my music taste spread to the past and future, from AC/DC to Army of Anyone.
