Megadeth : ranking all 16 studio albums

My ranking for the Megadeth albums would be 16. Risk 15. United Abominations 14. The System Has Failed 13. Super Collider 12. Thirteen 11. Cryptic Writings 10. The World Needs A Hero 9. The Sick The Dying And The Dead 8. Dystopia 7. Endgame 6. Killing Is My Business And Business Is Good 5. Youthanasia 4. So Far So Good So What 3. Peace Sells But Who’s Buying 2. Rust In Peace 1. Countdown To Extinction

6. Endgame 5. Countdown to Extinction 4. Peace Sells... But Who's Buying? 3. Rust in Peace 2. Killing is My Business... And Business is Good! 1. So Far, So Good... So What! Probably my most listened to band.

I don't think I've ever actually heard Super Collider & Thirteen, one of these days I'll get around to it. I don't mind Risk at all, every band with this longevity has it's blips and something has to be last in a ranking. Very much enjoyed the updated ranking Darcy. Megadeth top of my bucket list to see now, but they'll never play Scotland!

Love Megadeth albeit been a while since I've heard all their albums My definitive top #3 though are set in stone. #3 - The Sick, The Dying... and the Dead! Such a comeback, keeping up with the phenomenal return to form they had with Dystopia. Songs like Night Stalkers, We'll Be Back, the title track are all absolute smashers. #2 - Rust In Peace Pretty obvious here, this and Peace Sells are pretty much interchangeable for most people lol. #1 - Peace Sells... But Who's Buying? Thrashterpiece (only the 25th anniversary and original mixes though, same as Rust haha) Interesting note about Cryptic Writings, FFF is Metallica's "Motorbreath" (off Kill 'Em All) reworked similar to Mechanix / Horsemen

Megadeth is one of my favorite metal band. Rust In Peace is my first listen, but my favorite album is Countdown To Extinction (CTE) I enjoyed from beginning to end. For me CTE just like Edge Of Thorns from Savatage. Marty Friedman is my favorite guitarist. He make many memorable solos in Megadeth song. I agree with you, Tornado solos is next level. The Killing Road solos (from Youthanasia) is so cool too. Same like you, Breadline and I'll Be There is my fav song from Risk. Megadeth play I'll Be There in Live That One Night (Buenos Aires).

Happy almost 5 years on yt 💌

New to your channel like the content. My ranking is very controversial but hey we all have different tastes. I am a 30 year fan and have listened to every album countless times. So here is my list best to worst meaning albums I go to most to least 1. The sick the dying and the dead 2. Countdown to extinction 3. Endgame 4. Rust in peace 5. Peace sells 6. Dystopia 7. System has failed 8. So far so good so what 9. The world needs a hero 10. Super collider 11. Youthanasia 12. United abominations 13. Cryptic writings 14. Thirteen 15.risk 16. Killing is my business

Totally agree on your top 3! Same here. I would rank "The System has..." and "Endgame" over "Countdown" and "Youthanasia" but that´s probably just me, hehe... I have never heard your last 4 on the list tbh. I was never interested in those and I don´t think I´m really missing out, hahaha... I´ve seen Megadeth in October 1990 for the first time as well! Oct. 5th in Munich, it was the "Clash Of The Titans" European tour with Suicidal Tendencies, Testament and Slayer. They played almost all of "Peace Sells..." if I remember right and opened with "Rattlehead". Fantastic show!

1. Rust in peace 2. Countdown (Best vocal tie) 3. Peace sells 4. Youthanasia (Best Vocal tie) 5. Hidden Treasures (Go to Hell) 6. So far so good 7. World Needs a Hero (Pitrelli solos) 8. System has failed (Blackmail, Kick) 9. Killing is my business 10. The Sick The Dying…(We’ll be back) 11. Cryptic Writings (Trust) 12. United Abom (Sleepwalker,Gears of war) 13. 13 14. Endgame 15. Dystopia 16. Super collider 17. Risk

Good ranking Darcy, just caught them in Calgary last month band sounded great! Their first 5 will always be my go to’s!

Great updated Megadeth ranking! Can't argue with top 3!!

Great ranking Darcy. I would have placed Dystopia and United Abominations a bit higher. Rust will always be my favorite Megadeth album ever. Have a great week brother 🙏 🤘!

Excellent list. I got into Megadeth late so I have the 2004 remixes of the first eight albums. Was wondering what you think of those remixes. Many longtime fans are generally not fond of them. lol

Nice ranking mate ,they have been my fav since 87 ,cant go past peace sells and so far ,followed by killing then rust and youth 🤘👍🤘

Enjoyed the ranking! Megadeth=Ear Candy! Such a strong catalogue🏆 Keep Youthanasia, Cryptic Writings, and Rust in Peace in the truck and listen all the time. Only vinyl i have is Peace Sells and i need to change that soon by picking up their newest Sick Dying Dead 🤘 Really loving the channel! I appreciate the longer format, more to chew on 🤘

1991, 1995, 2017, 2021. Megadeth concerts I saw. Rust tour was my favorite. 🤘🎸

Fantastic Megadeth ranking Darcy! Interesting the 3 albums I haven't listened to are your bottom 3, that doesn't give me much encouragement to check them out. I think Endgame and Dystopia are the best albums they've done since 1992, haven't listened to the new one still all the way through. Cannot argue with your top 3 they're all perfect albums I think, maybe Rust in peace and Peace sells might be swapped for me. Awesome video man, still love this band 😊🤘🏻

Great ranking Darcy. I love Megadeth as well. I think my only difference would be Endgame would be ranked higher. Awesome stuff

Hi Darcy!! cool list of one of my favorite thrash bands, i have had the chance to see them 3 or 4 times and always a killer show. I'm still missing "The Worl...." and "The system....." loved the last one, also think it's a very good one Endgame "Fatal Ilussion" killer tune. cheers and be well

So far, So good will always be my fav. It's the first album that I bought of theirs and In My Darkest Hour is as good as it gets for me. Close second is Rust
