1) Disturbed
2) Godsmack
3) Metallica
Disturbed is right now my fav. Their new CD Indestructible is quite awesome. I have their previous 3 and put together my own "extra" CD with all their B-Sides and Soundtrack songs.
I still like Metallica, and even mostly liked Load and Reload, but St. Anger is awful. I somewhat like maybe 3 songs off of that CD, and I too wonder if their one coming out this fall will be worth the effort. If it's anything like St. Anger then no way. Even so, they're still awesome live. I didn't get to catch them at Bonaroo, but I saw them 4 years ago when they last were in Nashville, and it was quite impressive. Although honestly I though Godsmack sounded better live. In fact right now my dream concert would be a twin bill of Godsmack and Disturbed.
Oh and just outside the top 3 would definitely be 311. I've been listening to them since right before they hit it big in 1996 with "Down", though I must say their last 2 CDs have been meh. Especially Don't Tread on Me. Evolver is ok, but DTOM is IMHO by far their worst CD.
