Of course the volume nob on the amp-inspired packaging goes to 11, but that's just one of the ways in which this enormous box set embraces heavy metal's place as pop's most exuberant and least respected genre. Everything from the embarrassing (W.A.S.P.'s Animal (F**k Like a Beast)) to the profound (Metallica's Whiplash) to the embarrassingly profound (Spinal Tap's Big Bottom) is included on these four discs, creating a legitimate history of head-banging. Get it for Grandma, but only if she's already deaf.
