Title: Your favorites of these 80's Metallica songs
Post by: KevShmev on February 26, 2018, 08:47:45 PM
Yes, I intentionally left off two songs, which would likely get the most votes. :coolio

You can vote for up to 7.

I will go with:

Disposable Heroes
The Call of Ktulu
Orion
For Whom the Bell Tolls
Fade to Black
Leper Messiah
Welcome Home (Sanitarium)

Toughest one for me yet, since you finally found a band I'm a huge fan of.

Went with...

Creeping Death
Blackened
Four Horsemen
Sanitarium
To Live is to Die
Leper Messiah
Fade to Black


However you didn't include my favorite song from the first 4 albums. Dyer's Eve.

I hate that when you hit reply, the list disappears.   I can't remember more than 2 items when I go the grocery store...and you're expecting me to remember *7* Metallica songs from a list of a couple dozen?    Never gonna happen.

I opened a separate tab to reply so I could go back and forth.

This was incredibly difficult for me. Metallica is part of the very fabric of my being. They’re my all time favorite band and to pick just seven songs is near impossible.

Bell
Fade
Battery (had a hard time choosing between this and Orion, but that intro is so epic)
Thing (took a long time to click, but is one of my faves now)
Sanitarium
Blackened
Justice

Voted also for:
Damage Inc

Battery and Blackened are my two all-time favorite Metallica songs.

Ktulu, Fade to Black, The Four Horseman, Fight Fire With Fire were no brainers for me. Eye of the Beholder just edged out Welcome Home for my last vote.

Now that was hard! So many great tracks that it was hard to whittle it down to 7. Ultimately, I went with:
Disposable Heroes
The Four Horseman
Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
..And Justice for All
Eye of the Beholder
The Call of Ktulu
For Whom the Bell Tolls

I thought this was going to be tricky, but when I actually scanned down the list, it was pretty straightforward. It would have been tough choosing which 2 to cut if Master of Puppets and One were on the list though.

Creeping Death
Blackened
Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
..And Justice for All
Battery
Ride the Lightning
For Whom the Bell Tolls

Honourable mentions to The Four Horsemen, Fade to Black and To Live is to Die.

Surprised to see Fade to Black so high. I always felt that one was a bit “meh” compared to their other ballads/songs in general.
Title: Re: Your favorites of these 80's Metallica songs
Post by: pg1067 on February 27, 2018, 11:00:36 AM
Yes, I intentionally left off two songs, which would likely get the most votes. :coolio

Guessing you're referring to Motorbreath and Trapped Under Ice.






Or maybe Master of Puppets and One (I'd have voted for the former but not the latter).  I chose:

Damage
Creeping Death (my all-time favorite Metallica song and, I assume, mandatory listening at Passover observances)
Blackened
Four Horsemen
Battery
Ktulu
Bell (mostly because I loved playing this when I was in a band way back when)

Too many honorable mentions to mention

I'll occasionally use Adami's second tab approach, but I always have my email client open on a second monitor, so more often than not I just compose in that window and C/P it back over. I'll occasionally use that approach for multi-quoting, as well.

My problem with polls here is that the results should scale to screen width. Compare Whiplash's measly 1 vote to Kthulu's 12 and you can barely tell the difference. Or, SMF could simply re-order the results.

Anyhoo:
Creeping
Justice
Orion
To LIve is to Die
Battery
Harvester
Fade

Not much love for Harvester around these parts. Been a fan ever since I saw them debut it at the Texxas Jam with John Marshall on guitar. Cool shit.

My list:

Damage Inc.
Creeping Death
Blackened
Disposable Heroes
The Four Horseman
The Thing That Should Not Be
For Whom The Bell Tolls

Blackened is my favorite Metallica song.

I could have picked 2 or 3 more. This is a great list. Thanks for not putting Enter Sandman on it.  :biggrin:

You're correct. I misread the thread title (80's Metallica songs).

Creeping Death
Blackened
Battery
Ride the Lightning
The Frayed Ends of Sanity
The Call of Ktulu

Hard to pick just seven as there are so many great songs there. One always holds a special place for me so that definitely would have made my list if it was an option.

I went with the following.

I wasn't really too much of a fan of Fade to Black and For Whom the Bell Tolls in general.
Title: Re: Your favorites of these 80's Metallica songs
Post by: LCArenas on February 27, 2018, 09:44:58 PM
This is a hard one!
Four Horsemen, Fight Fire with Fire, Battery, Ride the Lightning, The Thing that Should Not Be, The Call of Ktulu, Fade to Black

Glad some people picked Thingy, an underrated Metallica song in my opinion.
