Is 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath' it their best? The debate rages on...

The second half of what was supposed to be a double album for Metallica.

Revisit the story behind the album.

On Nov. 13, 2001, Rob Zombie followed up his debut record with the venerable 'The Sinister Urge.'

Korn's sophomore set 'Life Is Peachy' gave them the commercial breakthrough to go along with the critical accolades.

On Sept. 27, 1986, Metallica's Cliff Burton was killed in a bus crash.

Sophomore slump? We don't think so. In fact, System of a Down's 'Toxicity' put them on the musical map reaching new followers everywhere.

Turmoil, disaffection, misanthropy and self-indulgence have always been creative tools for Slipknot.

On Sept. 7, 1988, Metallica released '...And Justice For All,' their first album without Cliff Burton.

On Aug. 7, 1986, the lawsuit against Ozzy Osbourne over the death of a fan who had listened to the song 'Suicide Solution' came to its resolution.

One of the biggest albums ever.

How would Metallica follow up 'Kill 'Em All'? On July 27, 1984, we got 'Ride the Lightning.'
