METALLICA
Inducted on February 17, 2017

First song played on the Loop: “One”

Reasons for induction
1. Transformed heavy metal music in the 1980s
2. Relentless growth. Metallica has never stopped taking chances, growing and making kickass music. The 2016 release “Hardwired… to Self-Destruct” finds Metallica at the top of their game; no easy feat for a band that’s been around since the early 80s.
3. Proving that heavy music is commercially viable by becoming the biggest metal band ever.
