Verg that songs stuck in my head now

Any brief examples, MT? No need for a big list or nothing, about one or two bands is good enough.

Well, virtually every band/group/whatever tries to experiment at some point during their careers. It's often these times that people get confused.

The only example I can come up with off the top of my head right now is rather esoteric. When Metallica released Ride the Lightning in 1984, Fade to Black was initially singled out as a track that proved the band was trying to appeal more to a mainstream audience by taking a departure from all-out thrash metal. Turns out that they would go on to release two (and a half) more thrash metal albums which are widely considered to be two (and a half ) of the greatest thrash metal albums of all time. Metallica's sound wouldn't truly undergo a paradigm shift until the early 90s.

What's funny about that is Fade to Black remains a fan-favorite to this day.

you weren't even born in 1984

It's probably their most popular album, if not Master of Puppets. Enter Sandman's a great song.

No, but I do research. I do feel as if I'm talking outta my ass since I wasn't even alive during that time, though.

I do some research too, maybe too much at times about movies, music, and such.

Well, I dunno. I'll look at it this way: Historians don't talk outta their asses, do they?

Okay, I feel better. No, I'm not claiming to be a historian.

I can't tell you how many times I've read a plot synopsis for a book, game, movie, etc., simply because I wanted to understand it better. In the process, I'll oftentimes learn something new about the media that may be completely unrelated to the synopsis.

Same here.
