Metallica is one of the biggest bands ever.<\/p>

Aside from Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, and Iron Maiden, Metallica are definitely the biggest Metal band in the world and ever really.<\/p>

Having said that, they are quite polarizing.<\/p>

Many love them, but also many love their first three albums, and hate just about everything else they’ve done.<\/p>

Me?\u00a0 I love most of it and don’t hate any of it (even the album they backed Lou Reed on, Lulu, is sometimes OK.)<\/p>

Metallica are definitely another huge favorite of mine, and since I’m ranking some of my favorite bands\/artists discographies, I have to rank Metallica’s too.<\/p>

Here we go.<\/p>

  1. Master Of Puppets<\/li>
  2. Kill Em All<\/li>
  3. Ride The Lightning<\/li>
  4. Load<\/li>
  5. Garage Inc.<\/li>
  6. Death Magnetic\/Beyond Magnetic EP (I’m ranking them together.)<\/li>
  7. Reload<\/li>
  8. St. Anger<\/li>
  9. 72 Seasons<\/li>
  10. And Justice For All<\/li>
  11. Metallica (The Black Album)<\/li>
  12. Hardwired…To Self Destruct<\/li>
  13. S&M (Live Album)\/I Disappear Single from M-I 2 Soundtrack (I’m ranking them together.)<\/li>
  14. The Big Four:\u00a0 Live From Sulfia, Bulgaria (Live album\/DVD set with Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax)<\/li>
  15. Live Shit Binge And Purge<\/li>
  16. Through The Never Soundtrack<\/li>
  17. S&M 2<\/li>
  18. Lulu (It’s really a Lou Reed album, but Metallica was his band for the album.)<\/li><\/ol>

    There you go.\u00a0 Metallica rules!!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
