To be fair though Megadeth match Metallica first four albums with Peace Sells and Rust In Peace. That isn't talking from a sales or popularity view this is a musical point of view.

Metallica though while a real titan of metal are an interesting band. Gone through numerous sounds in their career from the thrashy side in the 80s, the more commercial blues rock approach in the 1990s and the ridiculous nu metal experiment of St Anger. Its said from me that I respect a band wanting to do different things like they did and I do like Load and Reload more than I did initially. Thing that makes Megadeth edge them out for me though is more a preference thing but they have made more memorable albums with a bit more in the way of memorable songs too. To many Risk was their only real bad patch and they certainly never dabbled with such a disgrace of a collaboration album like Lulu. Many people seem to be negative on Super Collider but in all honesty thats not even a bad album, I find it enjoyable. As for Metallica as said I enjoy Death Magnetic the remastered version I found because the CD version is garbage.

Ok here ya go Riff...you're gonna s***

Metallica for me. I only listen to the stuff before the Black Album. I never could really get into Megadeth. Favorite album is either Ride The Lightning or Master Of Puppets. Favorite song is Fade to Black. I love the acoustic intro to that song. Gives me goose bumps every time I hear it. I also own a pair of Vans with Metallica Kill Em' All artwork on the side of the shoe! I also might be going to see Through The Never this Friday with my dad. So excited!

I feel almost exactly the same way with the exception of liking the 'commercial' black album much better than Master.

A friend of mine played the Ride the Lightning album for me back in about 84 but I never really liked it a whole lot until about 89 or so when I saw them live (and was already warming up to their sound because metal in the 80s was a complete cheese fest). In the early 90s I was actually singing along with some of their stuff but although I respect some of what Mustain did I never really had an ear for his band or more precisely his singing.

Yeah. I wish I could travel back in time to the 70's and 80's and just experience what they were like. I like the Black Album a lot actually. Lots of good songs like "The Unforgiven" and "Nothing Else Matters". Fade To Black is still my favorite though. I never got to see Through The Never yesterday but I hope I can try to get to Gainesville to view it soon! Looks like a great movie.
