1980-1990

I liked the 80s early 90s best.

80's, no contest.

'83 and '84.

you should only listen to kill 'em all, everything else is crap.

Everything until the Black Album, from there it's not as goodDarthkaiser

Personally, I never enjoyed Metallica even when they were a legit Thrash band and not making power ballads...

Their first 2 records were decent...

Metallica formed in 1981, and released their first album in 1983.

Their first five albums are spectacular: Kill Em All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, And Justice For All, and Black album.

These two are the absolute best of Metallica.

Also, since their first album is in '83 (Kill Em All) and the Black Album released in '91, Metallica's best years are from 1983-1991wiifan001

Dave Mustaine is insulted.. the best years are 1980-1991

there's no contest - their early work is by far the best!

EDIT: And since Kill Em All didn't release until '83, I consider '83 to be the mark the start of their Golden Years, and before that was their "founding years." So, 1983-1991 for me.

1980-1991

1. Kill 'em All
2. Ride the Lightning
3. Master of Puppets
4. ...And Justice For All
5. Black album

Black Album (the 1991 album that made them mainstream) was a good Album (imo). But this is was the beginning of their "downfall" into mainstreamism. After this, the band had really changed their style......for mediocrity.

There's no debate about it. Anyone who KNOWS metal should NOT even debate about that.

The first four albums are their only decent albums. Everything else is crap.

84-91.

So i guess 80's.

St Anger is their best album though.

I would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those meddling kids.

first 4 albums only

The years when the albums "Metallica," "Load," "Garage Inc.," "S&M" and "Death Magnetic" were released.foxhound_fox

Best album by Metallica? Easy: And Justice For All...that was a freakin' masterpiece.

So I guess 1988 would be my pick.

I liked when the Black Album came out too. I still remember watching the Mtv premier of Enter Sandman. It was huge.

And yes, I am that old.

84-91.

So i guess 80's.

St Anger is their best album though.

On topic, after black album they took a much more hard rock approach, while some singles were (I love Fuel) most of it was just meh. Death MAgnetic however it great and hopes the next allbum follows that up with the same heaviness and sound.

To me the last good album Metallica made was "And Justice For All". Everything after that was downhill for them. I remember being all pumped for the release of The Black Album. I got it the day it released. I took that thing home, popped open the CD player and put it in. Listened to the first song...ok that sucks...second song.....sucks too, ect. ect.. I ended up throwing the album in the trash a week later.
