This is what is currently in heavy rotation in my cd changer and why:

[97.11.19]
1.  Metallica / ReLoad
    (What else?  It rocks.)

2.  Tool / �nema
    (Awesome vocals, strong guitars, damn addicting.)

3.  Pantera / The Great Southern Trendkill
    (Again Pantera serves up a heaping helping of ass-kicking heavy metal!)

4.  Sepultura / Roots
    (ROOTS!! BLOODY ROOTS!!  A strong offering from the now defunct Brasilian metal mavens.)

5.  Nirvana / Nevermind  (wildcard slot)
    (One of those you forget about, only to rediscover a couple months later.)
