What is Enter Sandman?

When a band's most successful song (usually not they're best) becomes they're only known song among non fans.

Joe: "Hey what's your favorite Metallica song?"
Alex: "Oh you know Enter Sandman."
Joe: " Really? I think Fade to Black or Master of Puppents is better."
Alex: "I've never heard those ones."
Joe: "The Enter Sandman Effect." *sigh*

What does "Enter Sandman" mean?

This effect occurs when a song becomes tarnished by the amount of times you hear it, no matter how good the song may be it ends up annoying you. You realise the effect mostly on songs you initially like.

The Enter Sandman Effect occurs most notably (in my opinion) with:
Enter Sandman - Metallica
The Pretender - Foo Fighters

Enter Sandman - definition

quite the controversial tune. it is Metallica's first song off of their self-titled fifth album AKA the black album. Some claim that it is the song with which they sold out, others claim it is their magnum opus, and still others just think of it as another song from the album. it is really up to you. it has some iconic guitar riffs, solid drumming, terrifying (lyrically) vocals, and a fairly epic guitar solo.

1. Guy:aw, dude, i dont listen to metallica any more because they sold out with enter sandman.

2. Guy: holy shit, enter sandman is the greatest song EVAR!!!111!!!

3. Guy:enter sandman? oh yeah, i remember that from the black album.

One of Metallica's most popular songs, off of their self-titled album, more commonly known as the Black Album. I am no longer able to sleep because of this song.

Shit, Enter Sandman is a great song, but now I get nightmares every fucking night. Damn you James Hetfield!
