I find songs like Let's Roll and some of the ones on Living With War more offensively bad...
RITFW must be close to Born In The USA as one of the most misinterpreted songs of all time.

The teenager in me still hates the song. The bloke who actually bothered to listen all the way through to Adrenalize decades later and who loves that album... well he doesn't mind so much. It's a catchy ditty- no more, no less.
In retrospect, Adrenalize was the end of their megastar period and they went downhill (commercially speaking) surprisingly quickly after that.
The track that's a tribute to Steve Clarke, White Lightning, is one of my favourite DL tracks.
I worshipped Metallica and learnt guitar to the first 4 albums, and then they released this. I respect the impact it had and appreciate the effect it had on their career but it was just so... basic. Radio friendly when the whole point of Metallica for me was that they were the opposite of radio rock.
It was a sell out and I've never settled with it.
They've had loads of singles but it's the only one that you hear getting played and despite their massive success and 40 year career is probably the only song of theirs that a lot of folk can name.
I did actually like the Black Album but with the 30 year anniversary I'll no doubt have to endure Sandman ad nauseum for the next wee while.
Reminded by something else... I like The Killers a lot, but I really don't like Mr. Brightside - and didn't even before it got played to death by half the cover bands in the world. But I dislike Glamorous Indie Rock'n'Roll more.

For some reason that song annoys me.

I admire Spandau Ballet as well, I'm very fond of the 80's, but guess which 2 Spandau songs I hate most
I love Queen, but think I'll smash my head against a wall if I hear "Somebody to Love" again.
Don't mind The Killers but yes, Mr Brightside has gotten to "that" status.

I still like some of the other hits around 82 to 84, but Gold and True really didn't float my boat. I still recognise the songwriting talent that created it, though.
Through the Barricades and How Many Lies from 86 were really great songs, but yes, still a world away from their original sound.
