Top 10 Rock and Metal Albums Where the Title Track Isn't the Best Song

The Top Ten
1 Ride the Lightning - Metallica

This album is so good that several songs deserve to be called "the best song on the album". I can't decide between For Whom the Bell Tolls and Ride the Lightning - both are great songs.

For me the best song is For Whom the Bell Tolls with Fade to Black being a Very close 2nd

I like For Whom the Bell Tolls best.

Nah, gotta disagree here.

2 Back in Black - AC/DC

I would say You Shook Me All Night Long is the best track from this album

For me the best song was Hells Bells

My favorite is Shoot to Thrill.

3 Holy Diver - Dio

Holy Diver is most famous song but I personally like Rainbow in the Dark. Caught in the Middle is also a very good song.

I personally like Rainbow in the Dark more but the title track is damn close

I like Don't Talk to Strangers best off the album.

I like holy diver best

4 The Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden

Hallowed Be Thy Name is better than the title track.

Hallowed Be Thy Name no doubt,

Hallowed Be Thy Name

5 Symbolic - Death

Sacred Serenity and crystal mountain.

Crystal Mountain

6 Screaming for Vengeance - Judas Priest

The Hellion/Electric Eye or You've Got Another Thing Comin

I like both this and You've Got Another Thing Comin'.

7 Master of Puppets - Metallica

My favorite is probably Welcome Home (Sanitarium) with Disposable Heroes being a close second.

Disposable Heroes is my favorite.

The Thing that Should Not Be.

Welcome Home (Sanitarium)

8 Rust In Peace - Megadeth

Poison was the Cure also pretty good... that riff which starts at 1:01 is very fast and technical

Hangar 18, Tornado of Souls and Lucretia.

My favorite is tornado of souls.

My favorite is Tornado of Souls.

9 ...And Justice for All - Metallica
