One
A stirring statement about the effects of war, One is a classic in any category. Not just one of the best Metallica songs, it's one of the best metal songs ever.

Master of Puppets
From the album of the same name, Master of Puppets is pure aggression. Whether on vinyl, CD, or live, this song will get the blood pumping.

For Whom the Bell Tolls
My favorite Metallica song, For Whom the Bell Tolls anchors a strong sophomore album. Twenty-four years after its release, the opening two minutes of the song still blow me away.

Creeping Death
Any heavy metal song that references the Plagues of Egypt is fine by me. Creeping Death is the band's most frequently played song.

Disposable Heroes
Another war-related song by the band. Heavy, fast, and loud, this song just flat-out rocks.

The Day That Never Comes
The first half of the song is one of my favorite ballad type beginnings to any song ever written but as the song progresses the intensity, anxiety, speed, and complexity of the band takes over thus making it one of the most memorable songs Metallica has written.
