I will go with six.

As much as I like a lot of material from ...AJFA and the 90's albums, my 10 favorite Metallica songs are all from Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets.

For Whom the Bell Tolls
Fade to Black
Creeping Death
The Call of Ktulu
Master of Puppets
The Thing That Should Not Be
Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
Disposable Heroes
Leper Messiah
Orion

Maybe 5?. I know Damage Inc and Leper Messiah wouldn't make my top10 (I still like both), there's a few that either just make it or not.

Without sitting down and making a compiled Metallica top10, I think either 4 or 5.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #2 on:** May 18, 2021, 06:41:41 AM »

Honestly, just the title track.

I like the whole album, but for the most part, I think it's better as a unit than singly. The title track is sensational, and is easily in my Top 10, but the rest of my Top 10 is populated by my favorite songs from other albums.

Lonk · « **Reply #3 on:** May 18, 2021, 07:00:24 AM »

Looking at the track list and thinking about the other albums, 4 songs.

Fade to Black
Master of Puppets
Disposable Heroes
Orion

Phoenix87x · « **Reply #6 on:** May 18, 2021, 07:55:59 AM »

Battery
Master of puppets
Sanitarium
Orion

The rest of my top ten:

Fade to black
Nothing else matters
Ride the lightning
The 4 horsemen
Unforgiven
For whom the bell tolls

DTA · « **Reply #7 on:** May 18, 2021, 08:21:54 AM »

Zero

Most of my favorites come from Load/Reload/TBA/Lightning but I still really like every single song on MoP with the title track, Battery, and Sanitarium being very close to making the top 10.

Zydar · « **Reply #8 on:** May 18, 2021, 08:26:27 AM »

I'd guess two - Battery and the title track. The album is equally strong overall, except Leper Messiah which is the weak(er) link there for me.

krands85 · « **Reply #9 on:** May 18, 2021, 08:39:15 AM »

Only 2 probably - MoP and Battery - even though it's my favourite Metallica album and one of the best metal albums ever.

Top 10 in chronological order would be something like:

Ride the Lightning
For Whom the Bell Tolls
Creeping Death
Am I Evil?
Battery
Master of Puppets
Blackened
...And Justice for All
One
Spit out the Bone

Welcome Home (Sanitarium) might sneak in if Am I Evil was excluded. Honourable mentions to The Four Horsemen, Fade to Black and The Day that Never Comes.

WildRanger · « **Reply #10 on:** May 18, 2021, 09:01:24 AM »

Probably these 3: Sanitarium, Battery and Disposable Heroes.

IMO the title track is over-praised.

TheCountOfNYC · « **Reply #11 on:** May 18, 2021, 09:39:16 AM »

01: Master of Puppets*
02: Orion*
03: Welcome Home (Sanitarium)*
04: Blackened
05: Sad But True
06: Creeping Death
07: …And Justice For All
08: All Nightmare Long
09: The Four Horsemen
10: Damage Inc.*

Fade to Black is on Ride the Lightning. Sanitarium is the ballad on Master of Puppets.

pg1067 · « **Reply #12 on:** May 18, 2021, 09:48:43 AM »

Hmmm...

My top 10 would for sure include the following:

Creeping Death
Call of Ktulu
Battery
Master of Puppets
Damage, Inc.
Blackened
The Shortest Straw
Dyers Eve

That leaves two spots, which would go to two of the following:

The Four Horsemen
For Whom the Bell Tolls
Fade to Black
Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
Wherever I May Roam
Nothing Else Matters

So...I voted for 3.

Fade to Black is on Ride the Lightning. Sanitarium is the ballad on Master of Puppets.

Took me until you pointed it out to remember that. In that case my answer is 3

425 · « **Reply #14 on:** May 18, 2021, 11:16:28 AM »

Orion probably makes it. Nothing else comes particularly close. This is not among my favorite Metallica albums.

Honestly, just the title track.

Yeah I think so as well. I'd have to sit and do a Top 10, but at first glance, I think this would be the only one that'd make it.

twosuitsluke · « **Reply #16 on:** May 18, 2021, 12:32:28 PM »

Just Master of Puppets and Orion for me. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE every song (not you Leper Messiah) but they just have such a strong catalogue!

Elite · « **Reply #17 on:** May 18, 2021, 12:35:48 PM »

The title-track I guess? and Battery

Damage Inc. and Disposable Heroes are possible, but I'm not sure what other Metallica songs I'd want in my personal top 10 anyway.

Some definitive contenders are Ride the Lightning, Fade to Black, One and Blackened. Wherever I May Roam and Nothing Else Matters as well.

kirksnosehair · « **Reply #18 on:** May 18, 2021, 12:40:27 PM »

I like the heavy one with the wah-soaked pentatonic guitar solo

ZERO - my answer is zero. I don't really have a top 10 list of favorite Metallica songs because I'm not really that much of a fan. But if I had to pick 10 songs none of the songs on this album would be on my list.

bl5150 · « **Reply #19 on:** May 18, 2021, 04:49:37 PM »

Master of Puppets
Disposable Heroes
Sanitarium

EPICVIEW · « **Reply #20 on:** May 18, 2021, 05:20:37 PM »

Classic Album Classic tour.... I went with 4

Dream Team · « **Reply #21 on:** May 18, 2021, 07:31:59 PM »

Lately I tend to like Disposable more than the others. Battery and Damage could also make the list but I have 5 from Lightning, 2 from Justice and 2 from Metal Up Your Ass so . . .

Oh, almost forgot Spit Out The Bone.

Adami · « **Reply #22 on:** May 18, 2021, 07:33:28 PM »

I can't get into rankings, but I can go as far as my top 2 Metallica songs, which are Dyer's Eve and Fixxxer. I love every song off MoP and I assume a few would make my top 10 if I cared to make one. it's a fantastic album, every song.

TAC · « **Reply #23 on:** May 18, 2021, 07:41:53 PM »

Dyer's Eve is amazing!

TAC · « **Reply #24 on:** May 18, 2021, 07:52:56 PM »

Here is my Top 10 in chronological order

Hit The Lights
Whiplash
The Four Horsemen
Creeping Death
Fade To Black
Master Of Puppets
Blackened
One
Dyer's Eve
Frayed Ends Of Sanity

Dyer's Eve is amazing!

It really is. It sad they didn’t play it live back in the 80s or early 90s. It just has no bite when they do it in the 2000s and Lars always skips out on the double bass.

425 · « **Reply #26 on:** May 18, 2021, 08:35:26 PM »

I'll take up the other one: Fixxxer is amazing! You can keep all your thrash classics; that's the most intense chorus in the Metallica discography.

Volante99 · « **Reply #27 on:** May 18, 2021, 09:28:22 PM »

I picked 3
Master of Puppets, Sanitarium, and Disposable Heroes are all top tier ‘tallica for me.

Battery is probably a top 15 though.

Lemme guess- you’re ‘that guy’ who digs ‘the Disappear song’ from that Tom Cruise movie.

Zoom E · « **Reply #29 on:** May 18, 2021, 11:17:28 PM »

At least three. Master of Puppets, Welcome Home (SanitariumJ and Orion.

Trav86 · « **Reply #30 on:** May 19, 2021, 03:34:08 AM »

I had to think about this because I’m not sure if I’ve ever made a Top 10 Metallica Songs list.
I came up with four…

Master of Puppets
Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
Disposable Heroes
Orion

Mladen · « **Reply #31 on:** May 19, 2021, 04:35:07 AM »

Probably only two. The title track and Disposable heroes.

cfmoran13 · « **Reply #32 on:** May 19, 2021, 05:49:10 AM »

Three. Battery, Puppets, Disposable Heroes.

That's a great song and is better than a lot of what's come after it

Album version is KILLER. I’d like to hear other metal bands with capable drummers cover it. I still have a fever dream of Portnoy replacing Ulrich.
