“There’s so many good solos. I really like when the riff is changing. Holy Wars is not a bad choice too. By the way wake up dead should be in top 3.”

Vote for Tornado of Souls - Rust in Peace 4) Tornado of Souls - Rust in Peace

“I agree that the solo is amazing; Not only does it sound awesome, but it was also put together incredibly well. Did anyone else notice that the solo lasts exactly 60 seconds and is subtly structured into 6 equal parts at 10 second each? Just a little trivia I realized while listening closely one day. Anyway, it flows very well, too. Best Megadeth song overall!”

GregRock

“I love this song. The solo is amazing and so is the singing.”

YaleMetal

“Fast... and to the point... simply awesome”

Vote for In My Darkest Hour - So Far, So Good... So What? 7) In My Darkest Hour - So Far, So Good... So What?

“So Far, So Good... So What? is considered sort of a disapointment. I really don’t know why. Mary Jane and the cover of Anarchy in the U. K aren’t very good but the rest is fantastic and with great songs like Set the world afire, hook in the mouth, Into the Lungs of Hell, and of course this classic In My Darkest Hour. Amazing song!”

Chris113

“dave wrote this song to his friend cliff burton who died”

tolkki

“This song is amazingly sinister; it blows anything Metallica can make out of the water”
