Best Metallica songs

[wolf550e]

i have no idea since i dont like them, but, i am willing to listen to 5 of their best titles and then dicide (after my friend requested me to)
please post top 5 metallica hits (or best songs if not the same)

 

[TheShiz]

One, Nothing else Matters, Fade to Black, master of puppets, for whom the bell tolls.

 

[Chef0083]

That would depend on which Metallica you are refering to. Many people consider their older records MUCH better than the new stuff even though they were not "hits."

My top 5:
5. Sanitarium
4. Master of Puppets
3. Ride the Lightning
2. One
1. Fade to Black

There you go,, hope you like!

[Schola]

5. Master of Puppets
4. One
3. Nothing Else Matters
2. Unforgiven
1. Harvester of Sorrow
or if you like Bass solos, plug Anethesa off Kill em' all in there

Schola

 

[AndrewR]

Nothing Else Matters, Unforgiven, Sleepz (the version of the song on the S&M album -- awesome!) -- off the top of my head.

If you want to get a good idea of Metallica, just listen to the Black album. That's what started me, and it's tremendous. Also, check out S&M which is truly a work of art. I like the remakes of the older songs on there more than the originals.

Metallica is probably the best band for listening to while working out.

 

[BeHeMOTH]

Chef0083 & Schola, hit it on the head listen to their lists and you get a good core of Metallica. Also Creeping Death, leper messiah, Damage INC.,Hit the Lights,last caress green hell to name a few more.

 

[Jumpem]

1. The Unforgiven
2. Until It Sleeps
3. The Memory Remains
4. For Whom The Bell Tolls
5. The Frayed Ends Of Sanity

That's only for right now, my favorite Metallica songs just keep rotating, get sick of some, listen to some others. It's easy when an uber-band has 125+ tracks released since 1983.

 

[skywhr]

I like every Metallica song Ive ever downloaded from Napster, basically old Metallica. Seek & Destroy, Welcome Home:Sanitarium, One and And justice for All

 

[Schola]

I totally forgot about Last Carress Green Hell. That song is totally awesome.
Schola

 

[syf3r]

what about 'am i evil?' ...? no one ever mentions the early 80's metallica stuff anymore, before they became mainstream. oh, and 'last caress/green hell' is a cover song, but i'm sure you knew you that. everything on garage days, garage days revisited, and garage days re-revisited are cover songs.
how about stuff from their first albums... kill 'em all... no life till leather... ???

-syf3r.

 

[Chef0083]

If your going there you can't forget " The 4 Horsemen".......YEAH BABY!

 

[SKiller]

Hmmm...
1. Nothing Else Matters
2. Creeping Death
3. Wherever I May Roam
4. Fade To Black
5. Enter Sandman
6. One
7. Unforgiven
8. The Four Horsemen
9. For Whom The Bell Tolls
10. Until It Sleeps

It's hard to choose

 

[Schola]

Ya I knew about them being covers. He also asked for our top 5, and thats what i listed, I have every album and love Kill em' all. Espically the Bass Solo.
Schola

 

[RJRD2]

Get master of puppets, ride the lightning and kill em all cd's .Stay away from anything from the black album to current..They all suck!!! Enter Sandman..Gimme a break..Thats total poop...Metallicrap sucks balls now..They should retire..

 

[Harrisment]

They weren't bad back in the day, but the last few years their music has been just plain bad

 

[syf3r]

harrisement and rjrd2:

i agree. as soon as they went mainstream they started to suck bigtime. then as soon as mtv started playing them... well, enough said.

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

Best list:

1. Ride The Lightning
2. One
3. Master Of Puppets
4. From Whom The Bell Tolls
5. Fade To Black

In that order!

 

[convex]

pop in justice and be happy, then just move back through the albums. anything after justice is pretty much just loafs of dog turds.

 

[Double Trouble]

I haven't heard anyone mention this one, but I think their best song might have been a remake of an old song by a group called Budgie - "Breadfan". After that, For Whom The Bell Tolls is good and One is a classic.....

 

[UsandThem]

Half of the people here must be young to like post "Black" Metallica (may the real Metallica RIP).

Here are mine:

5. Green Hell (Seek and Destroy)
4. Master of Puppets
3. One
2. Jump in the Fire
1. To Live is to Die (no lyrics, but awesome)

 

[convex]

"real metallica" died right after the justice tour

 

[vi edit]

In no particular order

1) Breadfan
2) Seek and destroy
3) Whiplash
4) Am I evil
5) One
6) Fade to Black
7) Creeping death - but only if done live
8) Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
9) Call of the Ktulu (S&M) version
10) Master of Puppets

 

[KMurphy]

Blitzkrieg
Breadfan
Master of Puppets
Seek & Destroy
Four Horsemen
Trapped Under Ice
Lepper Messiah

 

[billandopus]

Best?

"what about 'am i evil?' ...? no one ever mentions the early 80's metallica stuff anymore, before they became mainstream. oh, and 'last caress/green hell' is a cover song"

Am I Evil is a cover song, it isn't even on the original Kill 'em All album though it was on the original Garage Days(the one with Dave Mustaine playing lead guitar before Kirk joined the band).

"1. To Live is to Die (no lyrics, but awesome)"

"When a man lies, he murders some part of the world. These are the pale fates which men miscall their lives. All this I can not bear to witness any longer. Can not the kingdom of salvation take me home?"

Cliff Burton- 1986(unfinished lyrics that are in the song)

Several mentions of Breadfan, and while that is my favorite(man was that a b!tch to find in the US until Garage Inc came out), I wouldn't say it is the best.

For Whom The Bell Tolls

Creeping Death

Call of the Ktulu(instrumental)

Welcome Home(Sanitarium)

Master of Puppets

That isn't a list of my favorites, but what I consider to be their best songs. Call of the Ktulu would quite likely rank higher if it wasn't for the fact that instrumentals tend to make people think less of a "song".
