I’d be more partial to tailoring recommendations to an individual’s taste if they had the earnest intention to learn, actually. If they aren’t interested in melodic metal, I wouldn’t be giving them albums by Iron Maiden or Judas Priest to enjoy as I would be looking for what they’ve heard and what fancies them best. That said, I do see the point in showing a person how valuable contemporary sides of the genre can be.

That's fair. Also I know fuckall about metal and Metallica seemed like an easy pick.
