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.

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.)

No covers placed so none of the covers I picked made the cut. The only Metallica original on my list which didn't make the top 25 was "Trapped Under Ice" which is unfortunate.
Still, this was fun!

I feel a bit bad not having voted for Unforgiven as it's the first Metallica song I loved - my friend played it for me on his Walkman at school and I was bowled over, I remember it very vividly. Huge moment in my music fandom. I still love the spaghetti western vibe on the choruses, but the verses are pretty ploddy really.

thanks for a GREAT pollout pplains, many laughs, fun posts
not sufficiently familiar w/ tallica's work to comment intelligently but that for whom the bell tolls live vid is amazing and reminds me of the live show I caught @ roskilde festival 2013 which was a funtastic riff-fest for 70.000 people and esp me and my friend airguitaring for hours in the front pit hammered drunk woohoo!http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/metallica/2013/festivalpladsen-roskilde-denmark-53d96f81.html
On a side not Lulu is what got me interested in metallica, and it helped turn me on to a lot of heavy metal, which is something I've really appreciated as a concertgoer since, attending doom festivals and thrash shows

Kinda want to address this. I think she would have been happy with the choice. We were headbangers. So like, I don't feel like any slight was done to the deceased. She didn't die from suicide, so the lyrics were off the mark, but I think we were all just 14-year-olds doing our best to cope. Still, I haven't had much taste for the song since.
Anyway, been watching so much backstage crap from these guys. Last night I googled up Year and a Half in the Life of Metallica to have on in the background while I was cooking dinner. Found a youtube that was an hour and a half long. That looked about right to me so I clicked play and went into the other room to start chopping up cucumbers. After about 10 minutes, I realize this ain't right so I go back to my computer to check it. It's the Year and a Half in the Life OUTTAKES REEL. A Year and a Half is just not enough for a diehard Metallica fan.

I might have shared this on ILM before, but I once had a dream that the Scissor Sisters did a cover of 'Escape' and it was a massive hit.
Did Escape get any votes?
― the joke should be over once the kid is eaten. (chap), Thursday, 9 July 2015 13:58 (eight years ago) link
"Escape" only got two or three votes, mine included.
Which is a shame because I had this one all booted up and ready to go for it.

I mean, hell, we've got a former member of Exodus here and everything.
Speaking of which, can't stop watching "Kirk's Birthday". I'm only now catching that Lars is not talking about some "A.C. Anderson" but "H.C. Andersen" - as in Hans Christan Andersen.
Never heard him referred to by his initials before. Like some dude complaining how we haven't hung any E.A. Poe posters up at his birthday party.
