What you're forgetting is for every great band, there's always 10 shit one's that try to sound just like everyone else. It was like that when Sabbath started, and it's still like that. Ten years from now, people really won't remember the crappy ones, all they'll remember is the great ones and pine for today when there weren't as many shitty bands. That said, I mainly listen to the older stuff because I don't like having to dig through all of the crap to try and find the good stuff.
I think you might like Anthrax (especially the older stuff), although they're like Metallica in that they've been around for a long time.
