It is almost pointless to do a “best of” list for Metallica because all of their stuff before the Black Album is so good, you could almost say that their first four albums and EP are their “best of” list. But I was listening to Metallica on the way to the book store yesterday, and I’m listening to them now, and I’ve put some thought into it. So if I were producing a Metallica “best of” album, the set would go as follows:
- “Whiplash” (from Kill ‘Em All)
- “Breadfan” (from “Garage Days Revisited)
- “Stone Cold Crazy” (from Garage Days Revisited)
- “Hit the Lights” (from Kill ‘Em All)
- “Fade to Black” (from Ride the Lightning)
- “Master of Puppets” (from Master of Puppets)
- “Welcome Home (Sanitarium)” (from Master of Puppets)
- “Damage, Inc.” (from Master of Puppets)
- “One” (from And Justice For All)
- “To Live Is To Die” (from And Justice For All)
And of course, no “best of” album is complete without a few “bonus” tracks. Call them “honorable mentions”:
- “Last Caress / Green Hell” (from Garage Days, Revisited)
- “So What?” (from Garage Days, Revisited)
- “Battery” (from Master of Puppets)
- “Enter Sandman” (from The Black Album, but only because it’s Mariano Rivera’s theme song)
So there you have it. My “best of” list for Metallica. Now for my “best of Enya” list…
