Rust in Peace honestly should be in the Library of Congress at this point for not only being one of the best and most influential metal albums ever, but also one of the best albums in the history of music
Fear: the Record, the Meatmen: Pope on a Rope, Ministry: Psalm 69, Megadeth: Rust In Peace, MetallicA: Master of Puppets, Iron Maiden: Number of the Beast, System of A Down: Toxicity, Pro-Pain: Foul Taste of Freedom, White Zombie: Astro-Creep 2000, Marilyn Manson: Antichrist Superstar, Nine Inch Nails: The Fragile. These are my absolute favorite albums ever made.
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 The Foul Taste Of Freedom is a cool album. But you're missing some Suicidal Tendencies, Slayer, Sodom, Kreator, Tankard, Death, Sepultura and Sacrifice from that list of yours. Not a bad list though.
First album I’ve ever owned by them, and serves well as a gateway to them. Maybe not as to what they represent, but a gateway nonetheless. If you want something less mainstream, you can look at their older stuff (case in point, I am).
@@martymartin2894 ehhhh. nothing wrong with a metal mascot. I don't really see Eddie & Vic comparable but I respect your opinion and see how you could I guess. Eddie legitimately scares me still, always has 🤘🤘😜
You should not be so rude on "another band". They have a name. I am not a metalhead, but I must admit that Metallica has better songs. Yes, Megadeth are better musicians. But is not so catchy as "Tallica. The weakest part of Megadeth is Mustaine's voice. Its not good. I asked many people (not metalheads), about his voice, and almost all of them agree the voice is the weakest part. I am only objective, no hard feelings. Regarding Rust in peace, yeah, one of the metal albums of all time for sure. What I dont like about Metallica is that every their album sounds different. Like 10 albums, 10 different bands. They dont have their own style. All the time skipping from one genre to another. And yes, death magnetic is terrible album. Production is garbage. Riffs boring and dont sound thrashy at all. I dont know what happened to them but from year of 2000, they are not able to make decent album. Failure over failure.
@@miroslavkozik987 I like both but if you put a gun to my head I'd have to say I prefer Metallica. primarily for individual songs. I definitely think Rust in Peace is one of the best thrash metal albums of all time but songs like One, Master Of Puppets, Orion, ...And Justice For all, Welcome Home (Sanitarium), Fade to Black, Harester of Sorrow and For whom the bell tolls clinch it. It's an odd one because Megadeth are for the most pat more technical than Metallica and I usually prefer that but Metallica have a kind of epicness to them that Megadeth don't have imo and I much prefer James' Vocals. Although for the 90s material onwards i'd much rather listen to Megadeth. The Black album is pretty decent but countdown to extinction is a better album, the best thing Metallica did in the 90s was S&M but Load and Reload were patchy at best; the 00s were pretty forgettable and the 2010s were pretty average and I am not the biggest fan of Megadeths post 2010 work either.
Both bands pretty much began sucking around the same time. Love me some Megadeth but And Justice for All tour was a great show. Not better than the New Haven CT Toads Place Rust in Peace show. That might be my favorite show off all time.
@@miroslavkozik987 this is just blind. metallica definetely appeals to normal people you see on the street. megadeth is by far more complex and put more thought in their music. im not saying ones better than the other, but id definetely prefer megadeth. I can see how people dont like daves voice, i used to think that he sounds like daffy duck, but now i love his voice. if you ask megadeth fans, most of them will say the vocals grew on them.
@@kreptas9083 😂😂 as much as I loooove Michael Anthony and despised his treatment from VH , I just could not see him replace Ellefson, I might just be biased as this man inspired me to ever wish to play the bass.
They could just stop talking about it and keep touring with the original bassist. This blew up because Mustaine fired him for it. There are no criminal charges.
@@MsCristyful Simple. Just have Ellefson play bass at the next show and we all pretend we never saw the report about him getting fired. Just like we all pretend we’re NOT attending Slayer 17th farewell tour and have great time at the show! I’m honestly nonpartisan about the issue and non of this will keep me from enjoying a Megadeth concert. I’m sure lots of fans would agree.
First half is outstanding, and Conquer or Die is my all time favourite metal shred. The second half is just too weak though. Really don't care for Poisonous Shadows or the cover of Foreign Policy, and the Emperor is cringey as fuck.
@@elcanaldeozzy Instrumentation's great (as it is for most of the album), but the lyrics are genuinely fucking awful. If they took out the last two songs, swapped Post American World for Look Who's Talking, and ended with Lying in State instead, it'd be top 5 without a doubt IMO.
@@leeeverett8497 Yeah, lots of people seem to love it, and the intro/verses are pretty sick. The chorus just sounds a bit too much like a Thirteen retread for me though. I'm also not sure Dave should be doing ballad-style vocals anymore either, I fucking love In My Darkest Hour and A Tout le Monde, but I just don't think it works with his voice in its current state.
1 - Peace Sells... But Who's Buying? 2 - Rust In Peace 3 - Endgame 4 - So Far, So Good... So What! 5 - United Abominations 6 - Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good! 7 - Dystopia 8 - Youthanasia 9 - The System Has Failed 10 - Countdown To Extinction 11 - Cryptic Writings 12 - Th1rt3en 13 - The World Needs A Hero 14 - Risk 15 - Super Collider
Nice ranking! Mine is slightly different: 15. Super Collider 14. Risk 13. The World Needs A Hero 12. Th1rt3en 11. The System Has Failed 10. Killing Is My Business..... 9. Cryptic Writings 8. United Abominations 7. Dystopia 6. So Far, So Good... So What! 5. Countdown To Extinction 4. Endgame 3. Youthanasia 2. Peace Sells..... 1. Rust in Peace Love Megadeth!!🤘🏼🤘🏼
I definitely put Endgame in my top 5. Rust in Peace and Peace Sells are tired for first for me. Cryptic Writings and Countdown to Extinction come very close as well. That would be my top 5
New record had me thinkin' 'bout a list; pretty similar, but have KIMB higher than EG. 01. Rust in Peace 96 02. Peace Sells 94 (fav) 03. Killing Is My Business 91 (2nd fav) 04. C.T.E. 87 05. So Far, So Good 87 06. Youthanasia 84 07. Dystopia 84 08. U.A. 82 09. Hidden Treasures 81 10. Endgame 80 (fans have this higher) 11. Cryptic Writings 77 12. T.S.H.F. 71 13. The World Needs a Hero 57 14. Risk 46 15. Thirteen 38 16. Super Collider 27
Rust In Peace, Peace Sells and Killing Is My Business is the holy trinity of Megadeth for me. The first two are no surprise, but KIMB really hits the spot for me, something about how raw, pissed off it sounds and the crazy-ass compositions that Megadeth never touched again (and at this point I'm sure they can't keep up anymore). To me several riffs in KIMB are harder than any riff or solo from RIP or PS, and that's just fucking insane when you think of it. KIMB was a really unique thing and I've never heard anything like it again, which is sad because it's arguably my favorite one.
Only good songs on SFSGSW was In My Darkest Hour, Into The Lungs Of Hell and Set The World Afire, the album was a big step back from Peace Sell in terms of song writing, production and even Dave’s voice sounded even more like a little kid lol
I'm glad you have Endgame as high as 5th since a lot of people don't rank this album so highly, which is shocking to me as I think it's their absolute masterpiece - best production they ever had thanks to the masterful Sneap and I love every song on it. The performances are amazing, and for me it's a perfect album.🤘 My top 5 isn't too dissimilar to yours, as follows: 1. Endgame 2. Peace Sells 3. United Abominations 4. Rust In Peace 5. Dystopia
Men finally i found someone who loves ENDGAME as me, its really really good album, my favorite actually. Chris Broderick revived megadeth with ENDGAME and gave it that speed that was lacking, even Mustaine himself, Dave's most technical solos are here, and if you include Sudden death on this album it would be Megadeth's top 3 without a doubt My top is : 1.- ENDGAME 2.- Rust In Peace 3.- Peace Sells 4.- Dystopia 5.- Killing Is My Business
@@gabrieltellez8657 Couldn't agree more.💯%✅😄👍 Broderick is phenomenal - best shredder Megadeth ever had.🤘🎸 What a shame Dave couldn't keep this lineup together. Still, we'll always have the masterpiece ENDGAME.🤘🤘🤘
An amazing catalogue, they've had genuinely great albums in each decade. With albums as high quality as Endgame & United Abominations in the 2000s and Dystopia the last decade, as well as the already iconic high points of their 80s/90s, simply displays how much quality there is through the full catalogue.
I said it in your first review and I’ll say it on this one The System Has Failed is up there as one of my favorite Megadeth albums of all time, it’s criminally underrated.
You're definitely giving it too much credit. Good solo? Hell yeah. Best solo? That title should go to songs like Stairway, Mr. Crowley, Rock Bottom or Comfortably Numb.
Will never forget the day I saw the Hangar 18 video on MTV. Before that I heard some Megadeth songs, I thought Megadeth were just so-so, could take them or leave them ... but once that main riff for Hangar came in my jaw hit the floor and I became a fan just like that! I don't think my opinion of a band has ever changed so quickly!
I played guitar for Chuck Mosley from late 2016 up until his death. And we were under Dave Ellefson’s record label. Had the opportunity to go to a Megadeth show in Cleveland and go backstage, and meet both Dave Ellefson and Dave Mustaine. Actually ran into ellefson a couple times with chuck, one of the nicest guys I ever met. Dave Mustaine though, he walked up to me, stopped about 5 feet away and plugged a single nostril and blew a snot rocket and said Hey. Lol that was absolute coolest way to meet Mustaine.
Megadeth's been my all-time favorite band since about 90 and I actually love Countdown to Extinction. I wonder why so many fans do not put it in their top 5. At least it's highly revered in my household though, and I love with one of the greatest guitar playing badasses not known to man, so that's awesome 🤘🤘 Dave's our favorite guitar playing badass of all time. Wish I had that level of talent in anything really.
Good video! I especially appreciate United Abominations being so high up, I love that album! I'd rank a couple of them differently (I'd put Cryptic lower, So Far and Killing higher) but overall solid stuff, you're clearly a great enjoyer of Megadeth and I liked this video; great shoutouts to some of their more obscure material from the more overlooked albums too!
I was absolutely floored when I first heard Killing Is My Business. Went out and bought a copy. Bought Peace Sells when it came out. I was really upset when Countdown came out and it was not on vinyl! Glad to see vinyl has come back. I have the picture disc but would like to have it on black vinyl.
I really like Dystopia when I listen to it, but it rarely calls out to me to be played. I think Endgame is the best record of the second half of his career. SFSGSW has really grown on me. I really blew it off for years, mostly just listening to Hook in Mouth on live records and such. I had a mental block that it was that awful cover Anarchy and instrumentals. It still doesn't have enough non-instrumental originals, but the ones that are there are fantastic.
Out of the six or seven rankings I've watched on your channel, this one is the best. Great list and review. It's not easy to rank Megadeth's discography. Wow.
You probably should’ve waited for the new album, I bet Dave is trying to get the new bass in as quickly as possible so the album can be released soon. Plus I think this new album is gonna be really good, megadeth with blast beats is gonna be crazy
Nah man, Risk is the worst thing in their collection by a mile. That shouldnt even be a Megadeth album. Had Dave just released it as another MD45 album then yes, super would probably be the worst (although Abomination is right next to Super for me with that awful remake of A tout La Monde). And I will put Dancing in the Rain above anything on any one of those albums I just listed.
@@BunnySock333 yeah the remake of A Tout Le Monde with that Cristina Scabbia chick from Lacuna Coil which is another shitty Goth Metal band that attracts female fans is a pretty unnecessary remake.
Hell yeah, The system has failed is my favorite because he returned from the Nerve damage in his arm and kicked ass on it. I remember him announcing his retirement when it happened. I couldn't believe it. But he recovered and recorded my favorite album. Cool upload.
I don’t know how I would rank Megadeth except for the bottom and top because they are the best band. I wouldn’t rank risk at the bottom because I mostly respect them for doing something new. Rust in Peace is the best album. Also I think they never made a bad album.
i don't like risk, don't own it. i saw an interview with mustaine when it first came out, in which he claimed that lars encouraged him to make an album, "taking risks", and risk was the result and subsequent title.
Man I'm surprised you got United Abominations so high! I got into them with Rust when I was 16 and then they released Abominations when I was a Junior the next year. That album was perfect for it's time with bands like Killswitch Engage, or A7X, in the mainstream metal scene at the time. I was more into Shadows Fall, Children of Bodom, and such. It just seemed to fit right in the times. Didn't feel like an older band trying to stay relevant.
I'm 36, and got into Megadeth 20 years ago (damn!) in 2004. Age 16, first job was Burger King (I hated it LOL), and I bought every Megadeth CD in the discography and became obsessed. I saw them on the 2005 Gigantour, and got to meet Dave and the band (a quick meet and greet line with autographs, etc). Rust in Peace is hands down my favorite Megadeth and thrash metal record of all time. Same page as you; Tornado of Souls solo is the pinnacle! There isn't a single bad or flawed moment on the entire record. It's truly one of the very, VERY few metal albums that isn't overrated IMHO. It's ALSO wild to think when I got The System Has Failed back in high school, that was halfway through Dave's present career. I always forget he took the band from 1983 to 2002, then took a break until 2004. Great analysis, love hearing your nostalgia for Megadeth!
The Megadeth Album Ranking Video of yours from 2018 or 2019 is what introduced me to your channel. Thank you for making Informative and Entertaining Ranking Vids 🙏🏽♥️
I saw a very post on Facebook of Megadeth. It's a parody of Megadeth singing pop punk. They were called Megafriends. They sing pop punk songs in the style of Megadeth's music, which is hilarious. I actually put Yellowcard over Megadeth for my top bands of all time because Ocean Avenue is one of my favorite rock albums of all time! And their music just means a lot to me. I love Megadeth as well. I'm just obsessed with other rock, punk, and metal bands. Gotta give respect to the other bands that were around longer before Megadeth and I can talk anything rock, punk and metal all day if I could. Rock on, man.
Great list, funny I mentioned Countdown on your top 50 thrash album video knowing your top 2 Megadeth but wasnt sure of your #3 until I watched this, we are on the same page.
Dude if anything this is probably the most genuine ranking. i’ve binged megadeth albums ranked a few times, this one seems a bit more unique but you also justify each one well. even on the lower ranked ones people love to hate those ones. but it’s like just because it’s ranked #11 (SAF) doesn’t mean it sucks like many would claim but you’re wearing the shirt. pretty genuine. - putting United Abomination way up there is dope i still play that CD!!! - shout out to Disintegrators, i don’t think i’ve ever heard anyone even mention that song - same goes for Dave’s voice on Youthanasia, another thing i feel like no one says (as far as i know) I would do one myself but i would get written off for mine lol. yes Tornado of Souls solo is probab the best solo ever i love (attempting ) to play it. all in all it’s good to hear a ranking that sounds like a Megadeth fan and not some critic. well done
Your video kept coming up on my recommended and I kept ignoring since I dislike rank videos but you definitely know your stuff, I would enjoy just hearing you talk Megadeth history and stuff! 👍🏽
I mean not really. If it wasn't for Chris and Gar Megadeth would never have been as good as they ended up being, in my opinion. Playing with musicians like that really makes you bring out your A game. Same goes for Friedman and Menza
As much as I love Megadeth, I love Dokken more personally! Like you said, I can like both heavy metal and glam metal! The reason I got into Dokken is because of you! Thank you for introducing me to Dokken! I love them to death! George Lynch is a beast! Dave Mustaine's awesome too though!
Glad to see love for the more recent albums. Of course I love the classic albums the most but to me Megadeth never fell off. They have a few bumps in the road, like any band that's been around for 35+ years. 1. Peace Sells 2. Rust in Peace 3. Countdown to Extinction 4. So Far So Good So What 5. Killing is my Business 6. Youthanasia 7. Endgame 8. Cryptic Writings 9. United Abominations 10. Dystopia 11. The System has Failed 12. Th1rt3en 13. The World Needs a Hero 14. Risk 15. Super Collider Ready for new Megadeth!!
Good to see another true Deth fan. Great ratings, I generally agree. I'd move Endgame and United Abominations later, and KIMB, SFSGSW, and TWNAH their positions higher in rankings. Agree 200% on top 3.
Peace sells is my all-time fav Megadeth album I had my CD signed by the band. Somehow It went missing and that breaks my heart... I also Had my dads record and it went missing as well, He was pissed and still brings it up
1. Rust In Peace (1990) 2. Peace Sells (1986) 3. Countdown to Extinction (1992) 4. Youthanasia (1994) 5. So Far So Good So What (1988) 6. Dystopia (2016) 7. Endgame (2009) 8. Killing Is My Business (1985) 9. The Sick, The Dying & The Dead (2022) 10. The System Has Failed (2004) 11. Cryptic Writings (1997) 12. Th1rt3en (2011) 13. The World Needs A Hero (2001) 14. United Abominations (2007) 15. Super Collider (2013) 16. Risk (1999)
Met the band on the Risk tour, Marty's last show. Dave Mustaine is well, Dave Mustaine. This encounter was.... Here's a story. I was a black belt in Taekwondo. I saw in a rock mag, Mustaine wearing a Black Belt Club shirt. I was like: "I have that shirt! we're both a part of the American Taekwondo Association (ATA), cool!" January of 2000, Megadeth are in town. Our local radio show had a Megadeth contest and I won tickets and backstage passes day of the show. Score! So there's a handful of us fans on the meet n' greet before the show. There's little line to meet Mustaine. I get my turn, shake his hand and talk music. I ask: "Where's Vic?" Suggest: "You should play Mechanix" Comment: "Love your riffing, you inspire me." Small talk. Then this happens... I comment that: "we're both in ATA Taekwondo." This is where Mustaine says: "Oh. Yeah. Taekwondo. I was disappointed in your handshake." Huh? I was puzzled. And just got replied with nervous a chuckle. He continues: "Your handshake wasn't in the traditional Taekwondo way." Then we re-shake hands! In the Taekwondo way! What a riot! Then he continues: "Maybe you'll open your own dojo someday." Rock and roll, am I right!?
That Megadeth greatest hits is the first megadeth album I ever got too. I bought Ride the lightning, Master of Puppets, Megadeths Greatest hits, Reign in Blood, and Cowboys from Hell on the same day and that is one of the days that changed my whole life.
Great job Bryce! I have tried to listen to more of Megadeth's catalog cause I really stopped listening to them after Cryptic Writings. I thought other than Secret Place and She Wolf the album was sub-par. So I just pretty much stopped listening to them. But after watching most of this video, I think I will give them another chance and listen to all their albums.
Great stuff! Love your rankings. I would say mine are very similar, if not identical. I was obsessed with Dave and the group when I was younger. When I was in junior high (a little while before 'United Abominations' was released), I created a Megadeth-themed "scrapbook" out of a spiral notebook with a red cover. It contained a bunch of drawings of different artwork (I did a pretty decent copy or tracing of their VHS release of 'Rusted Pieces' that my dad owned), lyrics, and other random Megadeth or metal bits. I'll have to look for it, but I know I still possess it. I'll cherish it forever.
Great band! I love the United Abominations album. one of my favorites. I met Dave Mustaine a few years ago when he was releasing his beer and I ended up getting him to sign my arm with a magic marker and the next day I got a tattoo of it. under his signature he drew the anarchy sign. \m/
The fact the rankings keep changing is a testament to how you can always discover new things after years of listening that makes you rethink your opinion. Megadeth music is high quality with an ever changing lineup that helped keep it interesting after so many albums. Dave will always give you some total cringe moments though.
The thing I love the most about megadeth is that you can always find new things when you listen to the albums again. Unlike lots of bands where their music gets boring after hearing it a lot, megadeth for me has the opposite effect and often times I won't think a song is that good until I listen to it a bunch.
Just had to stop by to say 1. That OG Killing Is My Business...And Business Is Good warms my heart! & 2. That So Far, So Good...So What! backpatch is killer! Now you're definitely obligated to make a vest, because you just cannot deny the world the chance to appreciate that! I guess I just love when Vic isn't a cartoon (though, don't get me wrong, I love the Vic drawings/paintings too).
Great picks like that you give the later albums a lot of love. My favorite album as well love most of the stuff. Supercollider is the only album I don't like at all whereas risk has some terrible and some good stuff. Also a shoutout to the hidden treasures, it was the first thing I had heard by them along with the greatest hits. One of the best eps in metal history. Go to hell has one of my favorite solos. 1. Rust in peace 2. Countdown to extinction 3. Youthanasia 4. Peace sells... 5. United abominations 6. So far so good so what 7. Killing is my business 8. Cryptic writings 9. The world needs a hero 10. The system has failed 11. Dystopia 12. Endgame 13. Thirteen 14. Risk 15. Supercollider
My rank: 15 - Risk 14 - Super Collider 13 - Th1rt3en 12 - The World Needs A Hero 11 - Killing Is My Business 10 - Cryptic Writings 9 - Youthanasia 8 - United Abominations 7 - Dystopia 6 - Endgame 5 - The System Has Failed 4 - Countdown To Extinction 3 - So Far So Good So What 2 - Peace Sells 1 - Rust In Peace
Got to see Megadeth along with Anthrax and Slayer. Megadeth did the full Rust album, because it was the 20th anniversary and select hits from other albums was a great show.
I definitely agree with you on James Lomenzo !! I saw Megadeth when he was in the band in 2007 and that was probably the best show I had seen of Megadeth.
Sweet ranking man! Personally, I find myself going back more to individual songs than full albums but If I were to choose one then I think Countdown to Extinction is the one I've listened to the most so it's definitely my N1. It just vibes with me perfectly and I can go back to it over and over. Cryptic Writings would be a close N2, I hadn't tried it for the longest time and when I finally did a couple of years ago I was surprised how much I enjoyed it! Also kinda unrelated but "Washington is Next" is such an amazing fucking song! It blows my mind every time I listen to it!
Absolutely right about Dave's riffs being harder than solos One I love to play but can be a pain in the ass is that little "spider" power chord technique Dave does during Wake Up Dead, one of my favorite riffs on peace sells for sure
Great list man i LOVE how high you put Endgame.....its sorely underrated. Abominations not as good for me, but Washington is Next almost single handedly makes it a great album anyhow.
Hidden Treasures might be a collection of covers and lone wolf singles, but the songs that are original are all monsters. Go to Hell is great, but Angry Again, 99 Ways to Die and Diadems are all in my top 10.
Great ranking chef! 'Rust in Peace', along with Anthrax's 'Among the Living' are my two favourite thrash metal albums. Lotta killer tracks from start to finish!

Rust in Peace honestly should be in the Library of Congress at this point for not only being one of the best and most influential metal albums ever, but also one of the best albums in the history of music
🤘🤘 absolutely
I would put Arise by Sepultura up there too. I remember both of these albums coming out within a year of each other, and they both blew me away.
Fear: the Record, the Meatmen: Pope on a Rope, Ministry: Psalm 69, Megadeth: Rust In Peace, MetallicA: Master of Puppets, Iron Maiden: Number of the Beast, System of A Down: Toxicity, Pro-Pain: Foul Taste of Freedom, White Zombie: Astro-Creep 2000, Marilyn Manson: Antichrist Superstar, Nine Inch Nails: The Fragile. These are my absolute favorite albums ever made.
Such a classic album, but I wish they had remixed it better. It still sounds average IMO
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 The Foul Taste Of Freedom is a cool album.
But you're missing some Suicidal Tendencies, Slayer, Sodom, Kreator, Tankard, Death, Sepultura and Sacrifice from that list of yours. Not a bad list though.
So Far, So Good...So What is such an underrated album.
I love this album!!! It's my number 2 after Rust In Peace. And when I'm listening to it, it's my number 1, lol.
@@bschuler6216 & Rob Brannen, It's great & a phenomenal follow up to Peace Sells
It’s my number 1 Megadeth album. Why? Lots of variety. Super memorable songs. And the album felt like the 80’s.
The shitty production is what brought it down for me a bit.
I’ve got SFSGSW on cassette, vinyl & CD twice. My favourite apart from the cover song
I agree that Cryptic Writins is grossly underrated.
Great songs, great riffs, but the production could've been thrashier. The guitars needed to sound more metal...
First album I’ve ever owned by them, and serves well as a gateway to them. Maybe not as to what they represent, but a gateway nonetheless. If you want something less mainstream, you can look at their older stuff (case in point, I am).
Rust in Peace, probably my favorite metal album cover of all time.

one of my favorites tracks of all time is on that album it’s “A tout le monde” je vous aimes, mais je doit partir!
Blood Of Heroes! So good
As a guy who cant consider himself a Megadeth fan, i gotta say Youthanasia is the only album i enjoy from this band. I even bought it, its great.
lol
Rust in Peace will likely always be my favorite album of all time.
I’m kinda interested to see who the new Bass Player will be.
Michael Anthony maybe.
@@kreptas9083 😂😂 as much as I loooove Michael Anthony and despised his treatment from VH , I just could not see him replace Ellefson, I might just be biased as this man inspired me to ever wish to play the bass.
They could just stop talking about it and keep touring with the original bassist. This blew up because Mustaine fired him for it. There are no criminal charges.
@@roldanrosario8292 yeah but Dave kicked him out so like... how would they use the original bassist if Ellefson is out
@@MsCristyful Simple. Just have Ellefson play bass at the next show and we all pretend we never saw the report about him getting fired. Just like we all pretend we’re NOT attending Slayer 17th farewell tour and have great time at the show! I’m honestly nonpartisan about the issue and non of this will keep me from enjoying a Megadeth concert. I’m sure lots of fans would agree.
Dystopia is top 5 for me. Incredible album
First half is outstanding, and Conquer or Die is my all time favourite metal shred. The second half is just too weak though. Really don't care for Poisonous Shadows or the cover of Foreign Policy, and the Emperor is cringey as fuck.
@@leerobbo92 the emperor has the best solo in the album
@@elcanaldeozzy Instrumentation's great (as it is for most of the album), but the lyrics are genuinely fucking awful. If they took out the last two songs, swapped Post American World for Look Who's Talking, and ended with Lying in State instead, it'd be top 5 without a doubt IMO.
@@leerobbo92 really? Tbh Poisonous Shadows is my favorite song on the album
@@leeeverett8497 Yeah, lots of people seem to love it, and the intro/verses are pretty sick. The chorus just sounds a bit too much like a Thirteen retread for me though. I'm also not sure Dave should be doing ballad-style vocals anymore either, I fucking love In My Darkest Hour and A Tout le Monde, but I just don't think it works with his voice in its current state.
1 - Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?
2 - Rust In Peace
3 - Endgame
4 - So Far, So Good... So What!
5 - United Abominations
6 - Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good!
7 - Dystopia

Ooooh didn't expected Dystopia to drop this hard lol. Great to see you re-ranking Megadeth discography 🤟
Glad to see Cryptic writings, It was a disrespected album, I like Mastermind and I'll get even sounds cool.
Yes!, Was a great album!!
I like Trust and SheWolf a lot too.
Yes! Lots of overlooked heavy, thrashy tracks like FFF, Vortex, Disintegrators. Some of the more melodic tracks like Secret Place are cool too.
@@WastedYears76 I usually just jam that whole album. That palm muted tone they got on that album is killer.
Trust and Almost Honest are great tracks, Megadeth really knows how to write a breakup song.
Rust in Peace doesn't have a single song worse than "good"
@@cyrollan only Dawn Patrol
maybe take no prisoners is the worst in my opinion
@@ResubidorSerial no wrong I'd say it's better than dawn patrol
@@MsCristyful dawn patrol is not even a song
@@ResubidorSerial Dawg... how is it not a song when it fucking exists inside of an album in between two others songs? Elaborate
Nice to see Cryptic Writings making it so high. Lots of good song writing on that album.
Nice ranking! Mine is slightly different:
15. Super Collider
14. Risk
13. The World Needs A Hero
12. Th1rt3en
11. The System Has Failed
10. Killing Is My Business.....
9. Cryptic Writings
8. United Abominations
7. Dystopia
6. So Far, So Good... So What!
5. Countdown To Extinction
4. Endgame
3. Youthanasia
2. Peace Sells.....
1. Rust in Peace
Love Megadeth!!🤘🏼🤘🏼
Yes! So happy to see Endgame in your top 5. Such a damn good album.
I definitely put Endgame in my top 5. Rust in Peace and Peace Sells are tired for first for me. Cryptic Writings and Countdown to Extinction come very close as well. That would be my top 5
New record had me thinkin' 'bout a list; pretty similar, but have KIMB higher than EG.
01. Rust in Peace 96
02. Peace Sells 94 (fav)
03. Killing Is My Business 91 (2nd fav)
04. C.T.E. 87
05. So Far, So Good 87
06. Youthanasia 84
07. Dystopia 84
08. U.A. 82
09. Hidden Treasures 81
10. Endgame 80 (fans have this higher)
11. Cryptic Writings 77
12. T.S.H.F. 71
13. The World Needs a Hero 57
14. Risk 46
15. Thirteen 38
16. Super Collider 27
Rust In Peace, Peace Sells and Killing Is My Business is the holy trinity of Megadeth for me.
The first two are no surprise, but KIMB really hits the spot for me, something about how raw, pissed off it sounds and the crazy-ass compositions that Megadeth never touched again (and at this point I'm sure they can't keep up anymore). To me several riffs in KIMB are harder than any riff or solo from RIP or PS, and that's just fucking insane when you think of it.
KIMB was a really unique thing and I've never heard anything like it again, which is sad because it's arguably my favorite one.
- "Megadeth: the greatest band of all time"
Me: My man!
Risk is a great record. If you just listen to the music without thinking it's Megadeth going soft, the songwriting is great on it.
Risk is excellent driving rock.
Very extremely under rated albums ,
Time the beginning is one of my favourite songs
I don’t think it’s a great album, but I prefer it to Super Collider and The World Needs A Hero.
I loved Risk and Cryptic Writings both and I applaud the band for doing new things.
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 exactly! That’s precisely why I prefer them to TWNAH, because that album was mostly shitty fan service
System has failed is the most underrated and underappreciated Megadeth album
I'd say youthanasia personally
My rank of the classic:
1. Rust In Peace
2. So far
3. Killing Is my business
4. Peace sells
5. Countdown
6. YOuthanasia
Only good songs on SFSGSW was In My Darkest Hour, Into The Lungs Of Hell and Set The World Afire, the album was a big step back from Peace Sell in terms of song writing, production and even Dave’s voice sounded even more like a little kid lol
@@yakuzaohtani3631
Hook In Mouth. 'Nuff said.
@@yakuzaohtani3631 I disagree , and feel that sfsgsw was really good
@@Powermad-bu4em yea!🤘🏼
That's my list too. Except I don't own or listen to Youthanasia.
I'm glad you have Endgame as high as 5th since a lot of people don't rank this album so highly, which is shocking to me as I think it's their absolute masterpiece - best production they ever had thanks to the masterful Sneap and I love every song on it. The performances are amazing, and for me it's a perfect album.🤘 My top 5 isn't too dissimilar to yours, as follows:
1. Endgame
2. Peace Sells
3. United Abominations
4. Rust In Peace
5. Dystopia
Men finally i found someone who loves ENDGAME as me, its really really good album, my favorite actually. Chris Broderick revived megadeth with ENDGAME and gave it that speed that was lacking, even Mustaine himself, Dave's most technical solos are here, and if you include Sudden death on this album it would be Megadeth's top 3 without a doubt
My top is :
1.- ENDGAME
2.- Rust In Peace
3.- Peace Sells
4.- Dystopia
5.- Killing Is My Business
@@gabrieltellez8657 Couldn't agree more.💯%✅😄👍 Broderick is phenomenal - best shredder Megadeth ever had.🤘🎸 What a shame Dave couldn't keep this lineup together. Still, we'll always have the masterpiece ENDGAME.🤘🤘🤘
Chris Polands playing with this band man, is insane. KIMB 10/10
@KTV 4U unlucky
An amazing catalogue, they've had genuinely great albums in each decade. With albums as high quality as Endgame & United Abominations in the 2000s and Dystopia the last decade, as well as the already iconic high points of their 80s/90s, simply displays how much quality there is through the full catalogue.
I said it in your first review and I’ll say it on this one The System Has Failed is up there as one of my favorite Megadeth albums of all time, it’s criminally underrated.
Great ranking man, Rust in Peace is my favorite Megadeth album to and it’s one of my favorite Thrash Metal albums of all time.
Endgame always felt like an invigorated Rust in Peace IMO.
Tornado of Souls, best guitar solo of all time. Nice in depth analysis of the discography
You're definitely giving it too much credit. Good solo? Hell yeah. Best solo? That title should go to songs like Stairway, Mr. Crowley, Rock Bottom or Comfortably Numb.
Incorrect, the best solo on Rust in Peace is Lucretia.
Hangar 18 better
Will never forget the day I saw the Hangar 18 video on MTV. Before that I heard some Megadeth songs, I thought Megadeth were just so-so, could take them or leave them ... but once that main riff for Hangar came in my jaw hit the floor and I became a fan just like that! I don't think my opinion of a band has ever changed so quickly!
I played guitar for Chuck Mosley from late 2016 up until his death. And we were under Dave Ellefson’s record label. Had the opportunity to go to a Megadeth show in Cleveland and go backstage, and meet both Dave Ellefson and Dave Mustaine. Actually ran into ellefson a couple times with chuck, one of the nicest guys I ever met.
Dave Mustaine though, he walked up to me, stopped about 5 feet away and plugged a single nostril and blew a snot rocket and said Hey. Lol that was absolute coolest way to meet Mustaine.
Megadeth's been my all-time favorite band since about 90 and I actually love Countdown to Extinction. I wonder why so many fans do not put it in their top 5. At least it's highly revered in my household though, and I love with one of the greatest guitar playing badasses not known to man, so that's awesome 🤘🤘 Dave's our favorite guitar playing badass of all time. Wish I had that level of talent in anything really.
Great list man
Countdown is basically Megadeth's Black Album. That's not a knock, I love both albums. But Countdown is Megadeth at their most mainstream.
@@Ribelin2000 huh... you know, I never thought about it like that. Thanks man
Good video! I especially appreciate United Abominations being so high up, I love that album! I'd rank a couple of them differently (I'd put Cryptic lower, So Far and Killing higher) but overall solid stuff, you're clearly a great enjoyer of Megadeth and I liked this video; great shoutouts to some of their more obscure material from the more overlooked albums too!
Thank you 💯🦅
I was absolutely floored when I first heard Killing Is My Business. Went out and bought a copy. Bought Peace Sells when it came out. I was really upset when Countdown came out and it was not on vinyl! Glad to see vinyl has come back. I have the picture disc but would like to have it on black vinyl.
I really like Dystopia when I listen to it, but it rarely calls out to me to be played. I think Endgame is the best record of the second half of his career.
SFSGSW has really grown on me. I really blew it off for years, mostly just listening to Hook in Mouth on live records and such. I had a mental block that it was that awful cover Anarchy and instrumentals. It still doesn't have enough non-instrumental originals, but the ones that are there are fantastic.
Wow I could never have imagined anyone hating the SFSGSW Album cover. It's one of my all time favorites.
@@matthewvoss7365 ikr I always thought that album cover looked cool, certainly better than the business is good covers
Out of the six or seven rankings I've watched on your channel, this one is the best. Great list and review. It's not easy to rank Megadeth's discography. Wow.
I loved your ranking Bryce always great to see United abominations getting some credit. And I’m quite glad you redid this one 🤘🏻
So great to see a fan put these in order thanks!
#1 united abominations as mentioned in your live stream 🤘 super glad to be a part of that! Hope you enjoy your half CD:D
For me Youthanasia and Cryptic Writings are underrated
You probably should’ve waited for the new album, I bet Dave is trying to get the new bass in as quickly as possible so the album can be released soon.
Plus I think this new album is gonna be really good, megadeth with blast beats is gonna be crazy
I think that risk is better than super coolider, because super is flat
Nah man, Risk is the worst thing in their collection by a mile. That shouldnt even be a Megadeth album. Had Dave just released it as another MD45 album then yes, super would probably be the worst (although Abomination is right next to Super for me with that awful remake of A tout La Monde). And I will put Dancing in the Rain above anything on any one of those albums I just listed.
@@BunnySock333 yeah the remake of A Tout Le Monde with that Cristina Scabbia chick from Lacuna Coil which is another shitty Goth Metal band that attracts female fans is a pretty unnecessary remake.
@@Highrollinhunter It’s a nice idea, Lacuna Coil are a good band.
Yep, its not thrash or traditional heavy metal record, but it has good songs unlike Super collider.
One of my favorite Metal Bands as well.
They never get enough credit for being quite consistent.
Hell yeah, The system has failed is my favorite because he returned from the Nerve damage in his arm and kicked ass on it. I remember him announcing his retirement when it happened. I couldn't believe it. But he recovered and recorded my favorite album.
Cool upload.
For my money it’s gotta be Peace Sells. I think the lineup with Chris Poland and Gar Samuelson was their best, imo.
I don’t know how I would rank Megadeth except for the bottom and top because they are the best band. I wouldn’t rank risk at the bottom because I mostly respect them for doing something new. Rust in Peace is the best album. Also I think they never made a bad album.
Nah. Super Collider was awful. No respect for that.
i don't like risk, don't own it. i saw an interview with mustaine when it first came out, in which he claimed that lars encouraged him to make an album, "taking risks", and risk was the result and subsequent title.
Damn this made me realise how bad I need to go and listen to some of those 2000s albums. Definitely going to have to give United Abominations today
Thanks for this man! Trying to get acquainted with them because I never did all these years! Hopefully I catch their show this upcoming month! Cheers!
Youthanasia and SFSGSW have to be my favourites, I always find myself listening to them more than the others
hangar 18 single - wow on the art. So cool they put out Hidden Treasures comp
Man I'm surprised you got United Abominations so high! I got into them with Rust when I was 16 and then they released Abominations when I was a Junior the next year. That album was perfect for it's time with bands like Killswitch Engage, or A7X, in the mainstream metal scene at the time. I was more into Shadows Fall, Children of Bodom, and such. It just seemed to fit right in the times. Didn't feel like an older band trying to stay relevant.
I'm happy you put So Far, So Good, So What! Up high on the list.
I'm 36, and got into Megadeth 20 years ago (damn!) in 2004. Age 16, first job was Burger King (I hated it LOL), and I bought every Megadeth CD in the discography and became obsessed. I saw them on the 2005 Gigantour, and got to meet Dave and the band (a quick meet and greet line with autographs, etc). Rust in Peace is hands down my favorite Megadeth and thrash metal record of all time. Same page as you; Tornado of Souls solo is the pinnacle! There isn't a single bad or flawed moment on the entire record. It's truly one of the very, VERY few metal albums that isn't overrated IMHO.
It's ALSO wild to think when I got The System Has Failed back in high school, that was halfway through Dave's present career. I always forget he took the band from 1983 to 2002, then took a break until 2004.
Great analysis, love hearing your nostalgia for Megadeth!
The Megadeth Album Ranking Video of yours from 2018 or 2019 is what introduced me to your channel. Thank you for making Informative and Entertaining Ranking Vids 🙏🏽♥️
Awesome… thanks for watching for so long man!
I saw a very post on Facebook of Megadeth. It's a parody of Megadeth singing pop punk. They were called Megafriends. They sing pop punk songs in the style of Megadeth's music, which is hilarious. I actually put Yellowcard over Megadeth for my top bands of all time because Ocean Avenue is one of my favorite rock albums of all time! And their music just means a lot to me. I love Megadeth as well. I'm just obsessed with other rock, punk, and metal bands. Gotta give respect to the other bands that were around longer before Megadeth and I can talk anything rock, punk and metal all day if I could. Rock on, man.
I absolutely agree with all of your positions in the ranking, Endgame and United Abominations are pure Megadeth at its very best, total classics.
Great list, funny I mentioned Countdown on your top 50 thrash album video knowing your top 2 Megadeth but wasnt sure of your #3 until I watched this, we are on the same page.
All hail Rust In Peace. Happy to see some love for United Abominations and Endgame too, people rag on 'em far too often.
Cryptic writings is one of my favorites of Megadeth. Great video dude!
Dude if anything this is probably the most genuine ranking. i’ve binged megadeth albums ranked a few times, this one seems a bit more unique but you also justify each one well. even on the lower ranked ones
people love to hate those ones. but it’s like just because it’s ranked #11 (SAF) doesn’t mean it sucks like many would claim but you’re wearing the shirt. pretty genuine.
- putting United Abomination way up there is dope i still play that CD!!!
- shout out to Disintegrators, i don’t think i’ve ever heard anyone even mention that song
- same goes for Dave’s voice on Youthanasia, another thing i feel like no one says (as far as i know)
I would do one myself but i would get written off for mine lol.
yes Tornado of Souls solo is probab the best solo ever i love (attempting ) to play it.
all in all it’s good to hear a ranking that sounds like a Megadeth fan and not some critic. well done
Thanks man!
Your video kept coming up on my recommended and I kept ignoring since I dislike rank videos but you definitely know your stuff, I would enjoy just hearing you talk Megadeth history and stuff! 👍🏽
Another name for this band can basically be the Dave Mustaine band, but Megadeth is better for marketing purposes
I mean not really. If it wasn't for Chris and Gar Megadeth would never have been as good as they ended up being, in my opinion. Playing with musicians like that really makes you bring out your A game. Same goes for Friedman and Menza
Or MegaDave 😎
Can’t have metal without drums
Dave Mustaine and the Megadeths
As much as I love Megadeth, I love Dokken more personally! Like you said, I can like both heavy metal and glam metal! The reason I got into Dokken is because of you! Thank you for introducing me to Dokken! I love them to death! George Lynch is a beast! Dave Mustaine's awesome too though!
Rust in Peace, Agree. In fact - one of the best albums ever.
My favourite album beside Metallica’s Master of Puppets, & Ride the Lightning. Countdown of Extinction is also good with Metallica’s Black Album
I legit clicked because you were wearing The System Has Failed T-shirt. I love that album cover
Glad to see love for the more recent albums. Of course I love the classic albums the most but to me Megadeth never fell off. They have a few bumps in the road, like any band that's been around for 35+ years.

Good to see another true Deth fan. Great ratings, I generally agree. I'd move Endgame and United Abominations later, and KIMB, SFSGSW, and TWNAH their positions higher in rankings. Agree 200% on top 3.
i keep coming back to watch this video, its such a banger
Peace sells is my all-time fav Megadeth album
I had my CD signed by the band. Somehow It went missing and that breaks my heart...
I also Had my dads record and it went missing as well, He was pissed and still brings it up
Fantastic video. Thank you! I for some reason never listened to United Abominations - just added to my library, so thank you!
Go to Hell my #1 fav song that is not on a main album
Great ranking and presentation. I'm gonna have to purchase some more of Megadeth's disks to complete my library.
Great collection and sweet back patch!

Great list mate!!! Good to see black curtains get a shout out, what a cracking track!!
Learned quite a bit of music from you when we used to follow each other on Twitter. Love the channel man, keep it up!
13, for me, is like a recapitulation of Megadeth career and I love it.
Met the band on the Risk tour, Marty's last show. Dave Mustaine is well, Dave Mustaine. This encounter was....
Here's a story.
I was a black belt in Taekwondo. I saw in a rock mag, Mustaine wearing a Black Belt Club shirt. I was like: "I have that shirt! we're both a part of the American Taekwondo Association (ATA), cool!" January of 2000, Megadeth are in town. Our local radio show had a Megadeth contest and I won tickets and backstage passes day of the show. Score!
So there's a handful of us fans on the meet n' greet before the show. There's little line to meet Mustaine. I get my turn, shake his hand and talk music. I ask: "Where's Vic?" Suggest: "You should play Mechanix" Comment: "Love your riffing, you inspire me." Small talk. Then this happens...
I comment that: "we're both in ATA Taekwondo." This is where Mustaine says: "Oh. Yeah. Taekwondo. I was disappointed in your handshake." Huh? I was puzzled. And just got replied with nervous a chuckle. He continues: "Your handshake wasn't in the traditional Taekwondo way." Then we re-shake hands! In the Taekwondo way! What a riot! Then he continues: "Maybe you'll open your own dojo someday."
Rock and roll, am I right!?
That Megadeth greatest hits is the first megadeth album I ever got too. I bought Ride the lightning, Master of Puppets, Megadeths Greatest hits, Reign in Blood, and Cowboys from Hell on the same day and that is one of the days that changed my whole life.
Great job Bryce! I have tried to listen to more of Megadeth's catalog cause I really stopped listening to them after Cryptic Writings. I thought other than Secret Place and She Wolf the album was sub-par. So I just pretty much stopped listening to them. But after watching most of this video, I think I will give them another chance and listen to all their albums.
At least check out the song Washington Is Next!
Great ranking as always Bryce. I would have youthanasia higher but really agree with the rest of the ranking.
Great stuff! Love your rankings. I would say mine are very similar, if not identical. I was obsessed with Dave and the group when I was younger. When I was in junior high (a little while before 'United Abominations' was released), I created a Megadeth-themed "scrapbook" out of a spiral notebook with a red cover. It contained a bunch of drawings of different artwork (I did a pretty decent copy or tracing of their VHS release of 'Rusted Pieces' that my dad owned), lyrics, and other random Megadeth or metal bits. I'll have to look for it, but I know I still possess it. I'll cherish it forever.
Great band! I love the United Abominations album. one of my favorites. I met Dave Mustaine a few years ago when he was releasing his beer and I ended up getting him to sign my arm with a magic marker and the next day I got a tattoo of it. under his signature he drew the anarchy sign. \m/
The fact the rankings keep changing is a testament to how you can always discover new things after years of listening that makes you rethink your opinion. Megadeth music is high quality with an ever changing lineup that helped keep it interesting after so many albums. Dave will always give you some total cringe moments though.
The thing I love the most about megadeth is that you can always find new things when you listen to the albums again. Unlike lots of bands where their music gets boring after hearing it a lot, megadeth for me has the opposite effect and often times I won't think a song is that good until I listen to it a bunch.
Just had to stop by to say 1. That OG Killing Is My Business...And Business Is Good warms my heart! & 2. That So Far, So Good...So What! backpatch is killer! Now you're definitely obligated to make a vest, because you just cannot deny the world the chance to appreciate that!
I guess I just love when Vic isn't a cartoon (though, don't get me wrong, I love the Vic drawings/paintings too).
Great picks like that you give the later albums a lot of love. My favorite album as well love most of the stuff. Supercollider is the only album I don't like at all whereas risk has some terrible and some good stuff. Also a shoutout to the hidden treasures, it was the first thing I had heard by them along with the greatest hits. One of the best eps in metal history. Go to hell has one of my favorite solos.

Got to see Megadeth along with Anthrax and Slayer. Megadeth did the full Rust album, because it was the 20th anniversary and select hits from other albums was a great show.
Nice video!
Cheers from Argentina friend. We love Megadeth, indeed :)
I definitely agree with you on James Lomenzo !! I saw Megadeth when he was in the band in 2007 and that was probably the best show I had seen of Megadeth.
Sweet ranking man! Personally, I find myself going back more to individual songs than full albums but If I were to choose one then I think Countdown to Extinction is the one I've listened to the most so it's definitely my N1. It just vibes with me perfectly and I can go back to it over and over. Cryptic Writings would be a close N2, I hadn't tried it for the longest time and when I finally did a couple of years ago I was surprised how much I enjoyed it!
Also kinda unrelated but "Washington is Next" is such an amazing fucking song! It blows my mind every time I listen to it!
🔥Carrying the touch of Metal! 🤘
@@TheNothing6 no there isn’t
His voice sounds nothing even remotely close to that. Nobody cares about your negative nonsense.
Nobody gives a shit about your paragraphs bitching about Mustaine’s voice or whatever else you’re blabbing about. Piss off
Nice video! Megadeth is my favorite band as well
I'm happy to see Cryptic Writings so high. Very good album
I'm ready for the new freakin album!! It's been 3 years since they've talked about it.
Rust in peace and green jelly 333 were the first CDs I ever bought. Still have them after all these years
Absolutely right about Dave's riffs being harder than solos
One I love to play but can be a pain in the ass is that little "spider" power chord technique Dave does during Wake Up Dead, one of my favorite riffs on peace sells for sure
Great list man i LOVE how high you put Endgame.....its sorely underrated. Abominations not as good for me, but Washington is Next almost single handedly makes it a great album anyhow.
Hidden Treasures might be a collection of covers and lone wolf singles, but the songs that are original are all monsters.
Go to Hell is great, but Angry Again, 99 Ways to Die and Diadems are all in my top 10.
I have endgame signed as well. From their tour. I can’t believe I got to meet Dave and Chris for the price of buying the album. It was amazing
Great ranking chef!
'Rust in Peace', along with Anthrax's 'Among the Living' are my two favourite thrash metal albums. Lotta killer tracks from start to finish!
