Favorite Metallica Songs

The instrumental thread from a couple of weeks ago had me thinking about this one, but I forgot about it until I saw the Van Halen thread.

There are so many possibilities, but I'll do my personal top ten:

10. Harvester of Sorrow

9. Enter Sandman

8. Motorbreath

7. Unforgiven

6. For Whom the Bell Tolls

5. Nothing Else Matters

4. Master of Puppets

3. Fade to Black

2. Creeping Death

1. One

6-10 can change at the drop of a dime, but 1-5 have been set for as long as I can remember.

"All Nightmare Long" is the only song they released since 2000 with a chance at the top 10, but that's not to say I don't like a lot of the others as well.

I'll have to think a little to produce a Top 10, but Master Of Puppets is definitely #1 on my list. I think it is their best song and their best album.

Master of Puppets is a great album, but Ride the Lightning has always been my favorite.

Favorite Disposable Hereos...have to think for the rest.

I'll have to think a little to produce a Top 10, but Master Of Puppets is definitely #1 on my list. I think it is their best song and their best album.

1. Welcome Home

2. Master of Puppets

3. Fade to Black (maybe)

from here on it's pretty much anything prior to the Metallica album. I liked alot of the Songs on Metallica alright but it seems like to be this is when their sound started changing.

One by far my favorite.

Others I really like in no order:

Don't Tread On Me

Fade To Black

Nothing Else Matters

Welcome Home

Unforgiven 1

For Whom The Bell Tolls

Where I May Rome

Unforgiven

Enter Sandman, well the whole black album.

Creeping Death

Welcome Home

One

Four Horsemen

Harvester of Sorrow

Justice for All

In any order...

The Frayed Ends of Sanity

I know I picked more than 10.So this a my list of Metallica songs I can listen to and get the same energy every time.

And yes I could handle never hearing enter sandman again including Sweet Home Alabama and Stairway to Heaven!

I think Metallica is a great example To Each His Own. Some people love it all. Some people love everything "pre Black Albumn". Some love the Black Albumn more than any. Some including me love the Black albumn and the stuff before but nothing after other than maybe a song or two. They are music icons that's for sure. Everytime I here One I think back to my buddies and me in middle schol taping Night Tracks or Friday Night Videos to catch that video. We were in awe of Metallica then.

Yea I also love the Black Album.The Problem I have with it is the Music videos from the album.I waited for two years for that album to come out.I have to say I was disappointed when I watched the Enter Sandman video preview that was aired the night before the release of the album.I did like Sad but true,Where ever I may roam,Nothing Else Matters and The Unforgiven.But After a while those songs became overkill.IMO what makes so many old school Metallica fans dislike the black album is not the music but the videos that got blown up in your face every 15 minutes.My favorite songs on that album had no videos made and are on my list.I have it on vinyl and I must say it is one of the best sounding albums I have ever listen too.

Some ones I like a lot that aren't usually on the beaten path are:

Prince Charming

Hero of the Day

God That Failed

Until It Sleeps

Sad but True

Of Wolf and Man

No Leaf Clover

Probably my favorite is Wherever I May Roam. Can't hear that song and not think of playing laser tag. They used to blast the Black Album over and over. Most of the big time songs I love, like Unforgiven and Unforgiven II, etc. I used to like Enter Sandman, but now I really have to temper hearing it. For Whom the Bell Tolls is what we open a lot of our highlight films with.

Love Metallica, but they have been almost painful to hear in the last decade.

In no order...

Master of Puppets

Battery

One

Harvester of Sorrow

Enter sandman

That Was Just Your Life

Seek and Destroy

King Nothing

Hero of the Day

Ride the Lightning

Fade to Black

For Whom the Bell Tolls
