Creeping Death is so rad
Isometimes it blends with Blackened in my head which is pretty much the best mashup ever

When I was a kid, there was this sports talk host on the radio who'd have Metallica playing in the background on Friday nights during his show, and "One" was a staple. For young me, listening to this spooky moody song in the dark was an otherworldly, invigorating atmosphere.

That said, I hope the one (pun!) from MOP beats the one from RTL for #1.

I even used to have a cassette I recorded off of the television, so I could have a version with "What is democracy?" dropped in here and there.
yeah that video was scary & awesome

I had the "two of one" cassette. Don't remember much about it, but sometimes when the moon is right, Lars' "...and Jason Robards as, uh, the dad" cycles on repeat through my head.

Special thanks again to VegemiteGrrl for providing the spreadsheet that makes tabulating these polls a snap. Thanks to all who voted and to all who helped write that timeline in the OP.
I've done a Hüsker Dü poll and a Metallica one now. Think I'm going to go volunteer for George Benson next.

favorite Album: Ride the Lightning
Shark Jumping: 1) Their stupid Napster stance2) Some Kind of Monster. Don't get me wrong, I love the documentary but bandwise it kinda bummed me out. 3) playing that stupid fucking Antarctica show4) whatever that movie was last yearTbh they have jumped the shark so many times it all started seeming like normal Metallica behavior from the late 90's on.

I got the top five, but not in the right order. Best album: Master of Puppets, shark-jump: Cliff's death. (I still like AJFA, in its own obsessive, claustrophobic way. And Garage Days, obviously! But the band really lost something and never got it back when Cliff died.)

mr veg has a story about him & his friends getting blind drunk when they got the news about Cliff. One his friends got super duuuper drunk and super duuuper upset & started beating himself over the head with a frying pan :(

Also, Brad, "The Outlaw Torn" used to be one of my favorite Load tracks, though the 10:48 version on that one single was better.
