I dig them, but I've been pretty unhappy with everything they've done since 1989 or so. I know they keep saying that Death Magnetic is a return to their roots, and given it's not as awful as some of their other stuff, but nothing could ever really capture the power of their first 3 albums IMO. Those were just amazing, it was like an entirely different band. The way I see it, the band went downhill after Hetfield got "Singing Lessons" and started to that "yeaaa-heh!!!" thing all the time.
My personal top 10 in no order:
1. Fade To Black
2. Master Of Puppets
3. Orion
4. Creeping Death
5. Motorbreath
6. Ride The Lightning
7. Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
8. Disposable Heroes
9. The Four Horseman
10. Battery
