You may wanna reconsider using URLs as thread headers.

Anyway, it's just another dopey, meaningless list by someone who has listened to FAR too much classic rock/top 40 radio for his own good. "Enter Sandman"? And ZZ Top has had MUCH better riffs than "Sharp Dressed Man". "Just Got Paid", for example, blows SDM out of the water.

I'd swap out Master of Puppets for Enter Sandman. And, how is neither Cat Scratch Fever nor Stranglehold not on that list.
