Metal fans - Need some help here (Megadeth)

edited April 2007 in Other Music
So, I've recently found that I actually have enjoyed almost every Megadeth song I've ever heard. That being said, I don't know what most of them are. Once upon a time, I owned the Cryptic Writings CD (it was alright), and I have heard Symphony of Destruction, Peace Sells..., Hangar 18 (thank you Guitar Hero II), Crush (or is it Crush 'Em?), Kick the Chair, The Mechanix, and maybe a couple other songs. So, if I were to buy a 'deth CD or two, which would you guys recommend? When it comes to my tastes in metal, I particularly like:

MetallicA (pre 90's stuff)
PanterA (particularly Cowboys through Far Beyond Driven)
Lamb of God
Killswitch Engage
Sepultura
Fear Factory

and will admit to listening to bands like Mudvayne, Slipknot, and Korn (the first three albums really), though I know a lot of people don't necessarily consider those bands to be "metal".

Thanks guys.


(edited to add Sepultura and FF - can't believe I forgot those two great bands!)

    From what you just typed, I'd say you'd fucking LOVE "Rust in Peace."

    "Holy Wars" fucking kills. Check it out:

    Definitely go with "Rust in Peace" with "Symphony of Destruction" as a follow.

    "Rust in Peace" kicks major ass from "Holy Wars...The Punishment Due" throughout the whole album. Very tight.

    Thanks guys. The video link you posted fanch has pretty much sold me on getting "Rust in Peace".

    everytime i see megadeth, all these people are screaming, "DAVE MUSTAINE IS GOD!!!!" at the stage.

    I politely told them that while Mustaine is cool and all, that title goes to MR ACE FREHLEY.

    Countdown to extinction and Youthanasia the best 2 in my opinion
    Seems the more you make
    equals the loneliness you get

    you have to be kidding.

    "The System Has Failed" is better than that mess.

    mustane sounds like he's holding a shit while singing
    Oh dear dad
    Can you see me now
    I am myself
    Like you somehow
    I'll ride the wave
    Where it takes me
    I'll hold the pain
    Release me

    I like Chris Poland's guitar on Peace Sells. Rust in Peace is a must have from Megadeth. Countdown to Extinction rocks. Short album of cover songs called Hidden Treasures is pretty good.

    Get the first five albums:

    Killing Is My Business...And Business Is Good!
    Peace Sells...But Who's Buying?
    So Far...So Good...So What!
    Rust In Peace
    Countdown To Extinction

    Of these, my favorites are Rust In Peace and Peace Sells.
    So Far has one of their greatest songs, entitled "In My Darkest Hour."

    I've heard that "In My Darkest Hours" is about Cliff Burton. Not sure how I feel about that if it's true, but it's a kick ass song nonetheless.
