Best Metallica Songs Before the Black Album

The Top Ten
1 Master of Puppets

Cliff's last album, and the last time we had the "classic" metallica sound, and don't give me that Justice and Black stuff, they were good, but THIS was GREAT

Great guitar riffs and pretty good drumming from Lars. Love the solo. Second Half of the song is amazing

Great intro,riff and solos.James voice was still young and hadent changed yet.

2 One

Overrated and boring song like most of the Justice songs. Only Blackened,...AJFA and Dyers Eve are making difference on this album. This song shouldn't be this high.

I don't understand why master of puppets gets more votes than this song on every list. It IS the best Metallica song, period!

I'm tired of seeing Master of Puppets in first place on every Metallica list. One is the real deal.

Every guitar player who quit after 2 years' nation anthem

3 Fade to Black

One of the best Metal songs of all time.

4 For Whom the Bell Tolls
5 Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
6 Creeping Death

This song is absolutely killer, no pun intended

Needs to be higher on the list

7 Seek & Destroy

One of the best ever.

8 The Thing That Should Not Be
9 Harvester of Sorrow
10 Ride the Lightning

"Where's Ride the Lightning?! Where's Ride the Lightning?! Why isn't it on the list? WHY?! Who didn't vote for Ride the Lightning? Tell me right now! "
-Kirk Hammett.

The intro is from another universe

The Contenders
11 The Four Horsemen
12 The Call of Ktulu
13 Dyers Eve
14 Blackened
15 Hit the Lights
16 Battery
17 Disposable Heroes
18 ...And Justice for All
19 Orion
20 Escape

I didn't think this would be above Ride The Lightning, Battery,...And Justice For All, Hit the Lights, Orion, The Four Horsemen, Whiplash, or Am I Evil.
