Well "the best" is a hard question to answer. They're good, yes, and very skilled. But are they "the best?" Compared to what? Other rock bands? All music in general?

I think it would be more helpful to ask why people like or dislike Metallica.

Now if your question was, "Does Metallica rock?" the answer would be a resounding "hell yeah!"

Music isn't really in the realm of good and bad, but rather like and dislike.

Some Metallica is fantastic. Some is horrible. Well, for me, at least!

Many people will differ in their opinions. There are a lot of groups that do a lot more for me than most Metallica does, but I've got to give Master of Puppets and And Justice For All their due. Overall, though? There's plenty of metal I prefer to Metallica... Opeth, Dream Theater, Ulver, Agalloch, the list goes on.
