5. Seek And DestroySeek and Destroy comes in at number 5 on my list. released on Metallica’s debut album "Kill 'Em All" in 1983. The song is considered one of the band's signature tracks and remains one of the most frequently played live numbers. In the key of A minor, the opening riff is a popular choice for metalheads learning to grind axe. Gate keeping lords adore this era of metallica, maintaining anything past the black album is heinous garbage."Searchin', seek and destroy!" The lyrics are about the thrill of hunting down and annihilating one's enemies. Full of violent imagery and aggressive language, like "We'll hunt you down without mercy / Hunt you down all nightmare long." Don't actually do that tho...better to stay in mom's basement and fine tune your keyboard warrior skills muhahah

4. Enter Sandman
Kirk Hammet's, "enter sandman" comes in at number 4. The track can be found on the white album, I mean the black album, released in 1991. Come on shred... The brilliant build in the compositional structure gets you pumped for the oh so satisfying drop. Recorded in the key of E, using the blues scale, try learning this on guitar to flex on your friends. Lyrically, "Enter Sandman" is a dark and unsettling song that explores themes of fear, nightmares, and the darkness that lurks within the human psyche. Don't get it twisted gatekeepers, the truth is, this song has been credited with helping to popularize heavy metal music with a wider audience.  Sell out sell out sell out!!! 

3. One
"One" is a powerful and heart wrenching (wrench) song by Metallica, released on their fourth studio album "…And Justice for All" in 1988. The song is known for its haunting melodies, intricate guitar work, and intense lyrics. The lyrics explore the horrors of war and the toll it takes on those who fight. I just have ONE complaint...Can we get a two on the next album tallica?

2. For Whom The Bell Tolls
"For Whom the Bell Tolls" earns a number 2 slot for me. Released in 1984 as the second track  on "Ride the Lightning." The lyrics were inspired by the novel of the same name by Ernest Hemingway, which tells the story of an American soldier fighting in the Spanish Civil War.The song's opening features a bell tolling, which was recorded at the Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, and sets the ominous tone for the track. The lyrics describe the experience of soldiers in battle and the toll it takes on them mentally and physically. Musically, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is known for its driving bass line, which was written by Metallica's bassist Cliff Burton. The song also features fast-paced, galloping guitar riffs and powerful drumming by Lars Ulrich. Wait...lars plays drums?

1. Master Of Puppets
The most iconic Metallica song of all time in my humble and extremely arrogant opinion is MOP. "Master of Puppets" was released on Metallica's 1986 album of the same name. The song is widely considered one of the band's greatest achievements, and it has become a staple of their live shows. It even made an appearance in the hit Netflix series, "stranger things", helping metal penetrate the mainstream. Sell out, sell out. Musically, "Master of Puppets" is a tour de force of heavy metal musicianship, featuring intricate guitar riffs, pounding drums, and a driving bass line. Can you even downpick bru? Lyrically, "Master of Puppets" is a song about addiction and the ways in which we can become enslaved by our own vices and desires. 
"Master of Puppets" has been praised for its technical prowess, its memorable melodies, and its powerful lyrics. The song has also become an important part of Metallica's legacy, and it has been credited with helping to establish the band as one of the most important and influential heavy metal acts of all time.
