1. Ride The Lightning (Not a single bad track)
2. Master Of Puppets (A close second but not as complete as RTL)
3. ...And Justice For All (The best Metallica have done without Cliff)
4. Kill 'Em All (Would have made 3rd even 2nd if it weren't for James Hetfield's under developed voice on this one)
5. The Black Album (As an album its average to mediocre, but some tracks individually are actually good)

I'm probably one of the few who said
Kill 'Em All!!!

However, it is just a personal favorite. Their first 4 are all superb.
We can ignore those middle 3...LOL
I must say Death Magnetic really was a great CD, and while St. Anger dosn't get much love I actually kinda liked it. It was a cool sound, and I LIKE the way the drums sound! Shocked Although I do think Lars is a mediocre drummer at best....

Eh, I'll risk it. I really do believe I am as good as Lars is. I can drum along to any of his songs without any real difficulty. He can do double bass better than I, but I have only played a double pedal set a few times. Besides, I question how much he "knows" about music and is actually just hitting drums..

But thats just my opinion of course

This is Lars Ulrich you're talking about - I'm not sure you're allowed to have an opinion

LOL What can he do to me? I may not not be big either, but I ALSO think im bigger then he is! LOL
And not to get off the subject of Metallica. I am glad to see there is some love here for St. Anger.
I only knew 3 or 4 people besides myself who didn't hate it.

For me its always back and forth between kill em all and master of puppets with ride the lightning following on the heels. Master of Puppets was the first old school metallica album I heard, and than I checked out Kill em all and ride the lightning. I love the songs on all three of those albums. Orion is a masterpiece of instrumental metal. AJFA is a good album but the dry production makes it really hard to enoy as the others. I do however really enjoy blackened, one, to live is to die and dyers eve.
 
I'm curios why Snow Dog would list St.Anger, I can't think of anything enjoyable in that album.

I think I like Kill 'em All -> Justice equally and after that I like them not at all, but I'll give the nod to Puppets because it was the album that absolutely shaped my childhood, as well as being the first album I purchased with my own money.

...And Justice For All is my favourite. 

The first four 80s albums are great. Black album was OK, I didn't mind it. Load and Reload...um...

St Anger I actually didn't hate. There were some good tracks there. Death Magnetic was alright, a decent return to form, not as good as their 80s peak but their best since the Black album.
Hello, mirror. So glad to see you, my friend. It's been a while...

Load has an almost grungy feel in places, not that I don't like thier more traditional stuff as well, but there is something about it which is very satisfying to my ears and I don't quite know why.

And I'm breaking the draw and go with my personal favorite Metallica Album... And Justife for All... I'm also about to see Metallica next week here in Guatemala with Mastodon as a guest band...
 
I want to state that Death Magnetic is a worth album to listen to... maybe my third favorite, just after Master...!!!
 
BTW: I support the idea of a member that Ulrich is an average and mediocre drummer at best... yes... his is...!!!
Change the program inside... Stay in silence is a crime.
