1st time seeing this thread. I made a Top 20 and managed to narrow it down to a Top 15.
The Red and the Black made the cut.
Which is amazing to say about a song where I think the 1st 4:30 stinks. It should have been an instrumental. But the non-vocal parts are just that gloriously triumphant...
I once did a similar exercise however I left out No Prayer for the Dying and Fear of the Dark as I don't like those albums.
That being the case, here are the 5 minutes or less songs:
Futureal 3:00
The Rainmaker 3:48
Wildest Dreams 3:52
The Fallen Angel 4:00
Days of Future Past 4:03
Man on the...
I tried to make a top 10 IM list about a year ago. I couldn’t do it, but I made a top 15. Both of these songs were on that list.
But between the two He’ll On Earth is my favorite. It manages to spark emotions in a deeply poignant way.
1. Somewhere In Time
2. Piece of Mind
3. Senjutsu
4. The Final Frontier
5. Dance of Death
6. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
7. Powerslave
8. The Book of Souls
9. Number of the Beast
10. Killers
11. Iron Maiden
12. Virtual XI
13. Brave New World
14. A Matter of Life and Death
15. The X Factor
16...
Happy to see someone else list Transylvania.
That studio version of that song struck me as just ok however when I first heard the BOH version I was blown away.
And I still am when I hear it now.
I'll agree with all of these with the possible exception of Out of the Shadows.
And I'll throw in The Educated Fool, Gates of Tomorrow and Isle of Avalon.
I'd been trying to avoid the live videos but I surrender.
What's the best version to watch the concert straight through on Youtube? By that I mean songs in order of the live show.
I first saw Metallica as an opening act in June 1988 on the Van Halen’s Monsters of Rock tour. They were fucking brilliant. Check out this setlist, wow.

Scorpions kicked ass that day too. Unfortunately...
For me it’s Fear of the Dark from this list.
And I increasingly find myself skipping Run to the Hills and The Trooper, very good songs but repetition fatigue has set in.
The finals in the Worlds match Switz / US, a tough call for me because I'm U.S. but the Swiss team is led by players from my NHL team the New Jersey Devils: Timo Meier, Jonas Siegenthaler and Nico Hischier (Devils' Captain but unfortunately injured earlier in the tournament). Either way I'm...
I fully expected CSIT once they announced the focus was on Somewhere in Time / Senjutsu. It was the opener on the SIT tour which I saw as a teenager. I'm also glad they played Celts although I'd like to see Parchment one day.
My two biggest surprises were 'The Prisoner' and 'Can I Play With...
