The Top Ten Metallica Songs

According to a site I found, these are

10. Sad But True, Metallica
9. ...And Justice for All, ...And Justice for All
8. For Whom the Bell Tolls, Ride the Lightning
7. Creeping Death, Ride The Lightning
6. Enter Sandman, Metallica
5. Nothing Else Matters, Metallica
4. The Unforgiven, Metallica
3. Seek and Destroy, Kill 'em All
2. One, ...And Justice For All
1. Master of Puppets, Master of Puppets

To which I say - despite the fact that ...And Justice for All has singlehandedly proved that I do not in fact have ADD, neither it nor The Unforgiven really should be on this list. Also, in general Metallica is overrepresented and Master of Puppets is underrepresented. Come to think of it, I'm not sure what Sad But True is doing on that list either. If you want a heavy slow song, think The Thing That Should Not Be. Also on the list somewhere should be Battery. Plus one of the classic instrumentals - I'd go with The Call of Ktulu, but that's just me.

With that in mind, I hereby present my version of the top 10 Metallica songs


10. Battery, Master of Puppets
9. The Call of Ktulu, Ride the Lightning
8. For Whom the Bell Tolls, Ride the Lightning
7. The Thing That Should Not Be, Master of Puppets
6. Nothing Else Matters, Metallica
5. Seek And Destroy, Kill 'Em All
4. Creeping Death, Ride the Lightning
3. Enter Sandman, Metallica
2. One, ...And Justice for All
1. Master of Puppets, Master of Puppets

...gee, can you tell that Lightning and Puppets are two of my favorite albums?

Post-Craig Review: Dr. No

 Back to the very beginning. This is a lie. "The beginning" would surely be a review of Ian Fleming's 1953 novel Casino Royale...
