Top 10 Best Covers from The Metallica Blacklist

In 2021, Metallica released a collection of cover versions of songs from the Black Album. What do you think are the best covers on that project?
The Top Ten
1 Sad But True - St. Vincent

St. Vincent really has a gift for putting her own spin into something and making it work each time.

2 Enter Sandman - Rina Sawayama

This version is really insane! Rina Sawayama is one of those artists who can do anything, and boy does she kill it on this cover.

3 Nothing Else Matters - Phoebe Bridgers

Hands down the best "Nothing Else Matters" cover of this whole project.

4 Of Wolf and Man - Goodnight, Texas
5 Holier Than Thou - Corey Taylor

Easily my favourite and the only song I liked from this piece of garbage album.

6 Through the Never - The Hu

This band is from Mongolia and sings "Through the Never" in their native language. You should give it a listen!

7 Wherever I May Roam - Chase & Status
8 The Unforgiven - Cage the Elephant
9 My Friend of Misery - Kamasi Washington
10 Don't Tread on Else Matter - SebastiAn
The Contenders
11 Holier Than Thou - OFF!
12 The Unforgiven - Moses Sumney

Moses Sumney's music is usually very layered, and his style is very well transposed on his version of this iconic power-ballad.

13 Nothing Else Matters - My Morning Jacket
14 Enter Sandman - Ghost

I was surprised by how "soft" this cover was considering that Ghost are considered a metal band. It's pretty good though.

15 Holier Than Thou - PUP

Great cover by an indie band.

16 Nothing Else Matters - Mon Laferte
17 Enter Sandman - Mac DeMarco
18 Sad But True - Mexican Institute of Sound
19 Sad But True - Royal Blood
20 Wherever I May Roam - Jon Pardi
21 Nothing Else Matters - Miley Cyrus
22 My Friend of Misery - Cherry Glazerr
23 Sad But True - Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit
24 Enter Sandman - Juanes
25 Enter Sandman - Alessia Cara & The Warning
