My Ranking of Megadeth’s Discography

Megadeth are another huge favorite of mine.

I’ve been a fan since I was a teenager, which is when I became a fan of many of the bands/artists I am ranking on this website.

Dave Mustaine (vocals/guitar/songwriter/co-producer) has had many lineups, but he’s always picked great musicians to bring his musical vision to life.

And as I much as I love Metallica, I think Megadeth have probably been more consistently great with their discography.

Here is my ranking of their albums.

1. Rust In Peace
2. Countdown To Extinction
3. Risk
4. Cryptic Writings
5. The World Needs A Hero
6. The System Has Failed
7. United Abominations
8. Endgame
9. Killing Is My Business…And Business Is Good
10. Peace Sells…But Who’s Buying
11. Super Collider
12. Dystopia
13. The Sick, The Dying…And The Dead
14. Youthanasia
15. Thirteen (Th1rt3en)
16. So Far, So Good…So What!
17. Hidden Treasures
18. Rude Awakening
19. Capitol Punishment (compilation with 2 new songs)
20. The Big Four:  Live From Sulfia, Bulgaria (Live album/DVD set with Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax)
21. That One Night:  Live In Buenos Aires
22. Rust In Peace Live
23. Countdown To Extinction Live
24. MD. 45  The Craving (a side project Dave did in the 1990s.  There are two versions.  One with singer Lee Ving and the other Dave re-did the vocals.)

I will always be a Megadeth fan.  Dave Mustaine is a phenomenal musician and songwriter.  His voice is not for everyone, but I like it and it’s perfect for his songs.

Rattlehead!!!  If you’re a fan, you get it.
