Did Metallica sell out with their eponymous album?

Some Metallica Fanatics will tell you that their self titled album was the beginning of them selling out. I say just the oposite. Once they figured out the recipe for a great metal tune they could have repeated indefinately to make all the cash they wanted. Intead, their music was influenced by the culture around them, other's music, and aspects of personal life. That is what music should be all about.

Nice post on the re-emergence of Take That.

There must be a moral to the story somewhere. After being one of the most successful boy bands, after splitting and having only very minor success as solo artists (with the exception of Robbie Williams), Take That reformed last year and were awarded with a Brit award in February 2007.
