Ride the Lightning is my favorite Metallica album. Actually when I was in my metal phase I tended to listen more to Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and AC/DC. Don't listen to that stuff much anymore, though--doesn't fit my mood, except maybe some of the more mellow/funky Led Zeppelin tunes. These days I tend to listen to more classical music, jazz, Bing Crosby, a lot slower-paced stuff.

Metallica is classical music, no?

My usual mode is early jazz, classical music -- usually 1840-1935, but also some Baroque.(though we're looking to adopt a baby so right now enjoying my metal while I still can!)

My instrument is piano, so I prefer Ravel, Liszt, Prokofiev, Chopin, Schubert, and on the jazz side, the Duke, Basie, Joplin, Monk.

Big fan of the violin too, esp. the underrated jazz violin. Favorite combo: piano, bass, drums, violin, and a honey-dripping alto like The Divine Miss Sarah Vaughn.
