i guess everyone is entitled to their opinion...

i take your opinion with a grain of salt, since you seem to be a huge fan of southern rock, so....
you cant deny that albums like Master of puppets and Ride the Lightning are bad... you cant.

Run-D.M.C.
.....
DJ Fontana

I don't necessarily agree with SFTS, and the word pop didn't spring to mind, but you do have a metallica obsession

Metallica would be good if they just got a new singer, like:

And George Michael!

Seriously though, the Rock Hall of Fame has been a joke(and a money making venture) for a long time... Isn't Madonna an inductee?

In the wise words of the Sex Pistols, "that hall of fame is a urine* stain".

*They used a naughtier word, but you get the picture.

...Metallica? ...Rock and Roll?

No.

I would understand them being in a heavy metal hall of fame, but they don't belong in a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

As a matter of fact, so don't a lot of people (Elton John, Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mack -- Prince?! What the hell is he doing in Rock and Roll?!) So, yeah, I guess I don't have a problem with the RnR Hall of Fame inducting Metallica.

Edit: I should add I'm not saying anyone's taste in music is worse than mine. Just that there's a limit to what Rock and Roll is; it can't include the entire modern musical spectrum or it becomes meaningless.

That was a long time ago...

...let me be a geek and put this in Lord of the Rings terms:

Pre 1995: Metallica = Smeagol

Post 1995: Metallica = Golum

Once a innocent happy hobbitt-y creature (heavy metal band) they were lured by the one ring (lots of money) and were totally consumed by it. No matter what happens, despite glimpses of their old self, their souls have been forever tainted and their bodies altered (haircuts) and they may never be their old self again.

If I may repeat Lars's word: 'Oh no my precious, they want to take our moneyses'

They are as Rock and Roll as Britney Spears and Pink
