Best Songs From Megadeth's Album Peace Sells... But Who's Buying

The Top Ten
1 Good Mourning / Black Friday

The greatest two and half minutes of serious masterpiece, good mourning, witch makes me to regard it as one of two best songs, including call of ktulu, I ever listened to.

This song is easily the best on peace sells. The creepy intro, the haunting solos, and the brutal thrash at the end easily makes it the top on the album.

It was hard to choose, but it is the absolute band-defining song for Megadeth, every metal fan should listen to this song in order to get into the band.

2 Peace Sells

A song built with the fury of the sex pistols, the aggressiveness of early thrash and the originality of dave mustaine. True metal

Of course the title track is the best. No idea why. I guess it just rocks!

What do you mean I hate Megadeth? Listen to it everyday!

3 Wake Up Dead

Good Mourning / Black Friday is pretty overrated. Great intro and transition to the thrash section, but the thrash section isn't quite as technical as Megadeth normally is... sounds more like Anthrax, and also the lyrics are just disgusting. Wake Up Dead is probably the best song on the album behind the title track, the constant transitions and solos and riffs are just amazing for a song that's not even 4 minutes. Fastest intro to a song ever. Devil's Island is also great and pretty underrated, along with My Last Words.

4 The Conjuring

Dude Peace Sells is my favorite Megadeth album and while I do like Rust in Peace, it took me a while to kind of click with the album, as crazy as may that sound. For Peace Sells, the first song opener got me immediately and song after song this is just masterpiece of an album. In my opinion this is their best album, while Rust is a close second. I think another reason why I prefer this album over Rust is because the Chris and Gar lineup was my favorite and the Marty and Nick is my second favorite. Its hard to choose a favorite for me but ultimately end up choosing the Chris and Gar era, both are awesome though! m/

5 My Last Words

Though it's starts of slow with a very melodic intro and leads in a straightforward manner, it's got a memorable riff and gar samuelson rocking the double bass along Ellefson's amazing bass lines, providing more than enough energy for Dave Mustaine to follow up with one of his best solos.

Very undunerated. Its starts off with the most ingenious build up ever, then opens up to the most badass riff ever created and vocalization ever. It then leads to a great solo, and a perfect bridge.

There's no "best song" in Peace Sells, each one owns but my favourite is this. Everything about it is interesting, memorable and badass.

6 Devil's Island

Devils Island is acculy a prison that is no longer running. In the song, a person is taken to Devils island to get the death penalty. Dave did a great job writing the song because he explains how there is no escape. In my oppion defenenly in the top 5 many top 3 on the album. Very underrated song. I wish Dave played it more often.

My favorites are peace sells, wake up dead, black Friday, and my last words. But I voted this because I think it should be in the top five instead of the Conjuring.

Underrated. This and Peace Sells are my favourite tracks.

7 Bad Omen

This song is awesome. Deserves better than 7th.

Most underrated song on the album.
