As per popular demand Human and No Leaf Clover from S&M have been included this time (Lulu is here for decoration too ) PLAYLIST USED FOR VIDEO: open.spotify.com/playlist/4x4xenHyN33PRpczK0LK3N enjoy ! :D
It’s no surprise it’s the most listened to song from Ride, it’s definitely more suitable for the average listener because it’s really slow, but still a very powerful tune. Buts it’s far from my favorites
But at least Leper Messiah isn’t, I always love that song. But MOP album is all great. But to me The Thing That Should Not Be would easily be my least listened from that.
The ranking is not what really matters for their discography is insane (not many bad songs), and there are +100 songs they've made that are going from really good to legendary. I'm Ok with song even from the 5 first legendary albums being ranked underneath some more modern albums. It's just a matter of personal preferences. The issue on this list is the numbers of people who likes those songs: Any good Metallica song should have been at least liked over 100 million times on Spotify. Only 22 of their songs (if you include the 2 covers "Whiskey in the Jar" and "Turn the Page", overwise it's only 20 songs) have reached this popularity so far, with perhaps "The 4 Horsemen" which should reach that threshold within a couple of days... It's up to us, Metallica fans to make sure younger generations that have no interest in records and that just picks whatever song they wish to listen to on their streaming service gets to know about all the songs that are way behind that +100 million likes...
Stone Dead Forever on the Garage Inc. Rebel of Babylon on the Beyond magnetic The Remember Tomorrow cover from Iron Maiden being the least favorite non album/non EP track of the list And is Poor Twisted Me really the weakest song on the Load album (compared for instance to Cure)? Not so sure about that either...

4:50 - #107, The Outlaw Torn, if you haven't heard it, give it a listen. I've been a fan of Metallica since Ride the Lightning and this song is in my top 20 for sure.
Wow thanks for compiling this. Listening to so many great Metallica songs in small snippets. Genuinely surprised how low some of my favourite were outside the top 100. Just goes to show how many great songs Metallica have created or covered.
Room of mirrors being the least streamed songs from 72 seasons when imo it’s the best song from the album and one of the best Metallica songs of this millennium is insane
Same here. I'm 40 and have been listening to Metallica since I was like 14 and as much as I love Metallica, I haven't heard a Lulu song and never will other than the snippets here.
I don't understand all these unfounded criticisms, I've listened to the album several times and yet I don't think it's as bad as you say, maybe it's not good but it's not that terrible either. And then that album was recorded with Lou Reed, so it was a collaboration and they had to find an agreement to satisfy both their musical tastes. Maybe if only Metallica had done it without Lou Reed it would have been better.
