Folks from Loudwire have ranked every METALLICA song from worst to best.
Loudwire stated: “Here, we take a deep dive into the band’s discography. We included every song on every studio album; we also ranked the songs from the Beyond Magnetic EP, as well as the “Lords Of Summer” single, the then-new songs included on S&M and “I Disappear.” We didn’t include any of their covers, nor any of their songs from their collaboration with Lou Reed, Lulu.”
