Best Song Off This Album, Poll # 12: Metallica - Ride the Lightning (1984)

[Canadian Air Force]

Normally I would alternate between decades, but this week will feature albums from the 80's and 70's once again. I'm going with a theme for this week, metal classics.



Metallica was one of the first bands I ever got into, but I'm more of a casual fan of the band now. Ride the Lightning will always be a personal favorite of mine.

I want to ask you folks a question. Would any of you object to greatest hits albums or live albums making an appearance? I have a few in mind.
