Funny you should mention it.

Same dude who voted SBT #1 threw that one in there as well.
Was never the same after I learned it wasn't "Sand Patrol". It wasn't among the trio of black albums songs that slid off of my ballot (Of Wolf and Man, which placed above, probably should have been). A hell of a song though, undermined by being way overplayed during its heyday. Is there a black album single that wasn't overplayed though?

Seek & Destroy would have been my #1

Man, I just don't get SBT.
I snickered at Of Wolf & Man like the needlessly stuck-up Metallicaficinado that I consider myself to be, but even that "Off to the pool deck eyyyyye go... " has a catchy gallop to it.
This one though --- that's it, I'm calling it. Sorry, but it's my least favorite song on this countdown.

lol revealing myself as untrue here but i was introduced to metallica mostly through that first apocalyptica record, and the riff for "harvester of sorrow" was basically simultaneously the meanest and prettiest thing i'd ever heard played on a cello

I remember being kind of intrigued / scared by Metallica due to the mulleted guy with the METAL UP YOUR ASS muscle-t in my study hall circa 1987. But somehow I ended up with a cassette of RTL a year later - I have no idea where it came from - and I used to listen to that or the Doors Greatest Hits tapes on my yellow walkman when I mowed my grandmother's lawn.
Still would have voted for Puppets over Lightning, no question. My favorite record from any band often ends up being the one I heard first, this is one of the rare exceptions.

For some reason whenever I heard Escape, I always had a made-up video in my head of James driving shirtless through a desert full of cacti singing at top volume and driving a shitty brown 70s van with one of those diamond shaped windows in the side.

Everyone, please give a "warm" welcome to our first multi-#1 entry.
i found the riff of "fight fire with fire" so confusing as a kid
― insufficiently familiar with xgau's work to comment intelligently (BradNelson), Tuesday, 7 July 2015 19:34 (eight years ago) link
i can believe you voted for "we did it again" but i'm really surprised you like "sad but true" that much
― insufficiently familiar with xgau's work to comment intelligently (BradNelson), Tuesday, 7 July 2015 19:35 (eight years ago) link
jesus that '86 version starts so fucking fast.
― lil urbane (Jordan), Tuesday, 7 July 2015 19:36 (eight years ago) link
honestly i have a hard time feeling the downbeat on some their super fast thrash tunes with the snare on the upbeat. not a lot to hold on to. FFwF in particular, the accents in the verses always get twisted around in my head to be on the downbeat.

so i think master of puppets may have been my first mp3 ever. a guy named XxMattYxX (i think) who i knew through a n64 cheat code forum sent it to me using aim file transfer. it took like 5 hours on a dialup

that's the story i want to share for now. more to come when i feel like it

great results. some grade-a killer songs in the list so far. hopefully we've seen the last of the Black album as i think its best three tracks have been represented (might have been more sympathetic to The Unforgiven back in the day as one of the better numbers, but it sits awkwardly with me now).
