heck wrote:2. Burn!

Cool, unique choice. I remember when I was on the official Megadeth forum before it was shut down and so many posters just laid into how much they hated this song. Not sure why, it rocks.

99 Ways to die is a good song but the propaganda is annoying.

Isn't the propaganda only in the video though, and not the song lyrics?

This is a HARD one!
Megadeth is my favorite band after Tourniquet and depending on the mood there are several albums that would take the top place. The ones that rotate in that list are KIMB, Peace Sells, Youthanasia, The System Has Failed and Endgame.

It might be even harder to choose the top5 songs...

Ok, let's try this anyway...


Album: Peace Sells

Songs:
1 - Holy Wars
2 - Last Rites / Loved to Deth
3 - Dystopia
4 - Bad Omen
5 - Tears in a Vial

Oh it pains me to not list songs like Breakpoint, Family Tree, Tornado of Souls, Looking Down the Cross, 1320, Dread and the Fugitive Mind, The Disintegrators, Mary Jane... and even Dance in the Rain from Super Collider and Ecstasy from Risk (the chorus in that song is not good at all but the rest of the song is great).

Album cover: The original KIMB cover with the real skull. Even though I love the painted covers of, say, Peace Sells and The System Has Failed, I have a soft spot for album covers that have a photograph of real things. I think the original version feels way more sinister than the new version (I know it was supposed to be a drawing instead of a photograph in the first place but I still dig the original very much). I think the photograph fits the mood of KIMB much better than the painting. It's very raw just like the whole album is.

Rust In Peace and Countdown To Extinction are my go to albums.

ToB, hard to know if the lyrics were about guns but after the video that's all I can think of when I hear it.

Nice to see Tears in a Vial on someone's list.

Album: So Far, So Good, So What.

Songs: 

- Hook In Mouth.
- In My Darkest Hour.
- Train of Consequences.
