Metallica is interesting. I'm a fan of the group, and pretty much love the library (still struggle with St. Anger though). Problem for me is that I didn't open my ears up until the early/mid 90's, so I don't really know what the critics were thinking back in the formative years.
If an album like Master of Puppets got slagged, I'd have to question whether the critic a) actually listened to it, of b) just doesn't like metal/hard rock.
I could see some eyebrows being raised with 'And Justice For All'. That one took a bit of getting used to. It was almost like they were trying to hard to get some edginess back into the sound. That and a production that wouldn't have been my personal choice at first glance. In the end its a very good record, just needs to wear on you.

Maybe St. Anger needs more 'wearing time'....

And Rolling Stone ran a love/hate relationship with Led Zeppelin throughout the 70's. That is, until 1980, when John Bonham passed, and THEN they realized how hip and popular Zeppelin had been.Ed VitaleOn Wed, Sep 15, 2010 at 8:36 PM, itsgaryman <gchbama@yahoo.com> wrote:
What was the group most panned(disliked) by the critics, that achieved the most success?
I believe that honor goes to Led Zeppelin.
