You mention how the “Black” album heralded them into the mainstream & brought worldwide success. This was made clear to me the year it was released. I was living in Germany in the Army & came home on leave. I got into my mom’s car with her and saw this CD on the console. I said “Oh, did Steve (my younger brother) leave his Metallica CD in here?” And my mom said “No, thats mine. I love that Enter Sandman song.” 😳😳😂
Gents, first of all, I can’t argue with anyone picking the first 5 albums as the top 5 Metallica albums. However, I do really like “Death Magnetic” from 2008. That album melts faces almost from top to bottom and I fell like it often gets over looked. Very heavy, well-written, great edgy sound. Very good return to their roots in the new millennium. Additionally, I know and understand the pushback with the Black album because I really became a fan during the Justice years. But, “Sad But True’ is soooo freaking great that it trumps a lot for me. That song is an absolute ball cruncher! My list: 5. Lightning/Kill ‘em All 4. Justice 3. Death Magnetic 2. Black 1. Puppets
And BTW if you haven’t already, a top ten under rated Hard Rock bands list could be great. (If you dont include King’s X on it, I’ll have to boycott! 😂😂)
I LOVE King's X. We've done an "Underdogs" show, Episode 35. This was before we started the TH-cam Channel, but you can listen to it anywhere you get podcasts.
y'all are crazy.. the answers are 1. Kill ‘Em All
2. Master of Puppets
3. Ride the Lightning
4. And Justice For All
5. Black Album
Yep… we’re CRAY!
@@vinylventures5943 should have also ranked the bottom 3 metallica albums!

Absolutely a mass appeal album. Even Mom rocks out!

Great list, one of us would like Black higher.
