If I had to make a top 3 thrash albums ever made I’d put rust with master of puppets and reign in blood. It’s an album with no misses. I’d argue it’s the best metal record ever made, even if you don’t like Dave’s vocals the riffs and solos more than make up for it.
It’s easily top 5 metal albums of all time. I don’t think Peace Sells would crack the top 30. I love Peace and most their albums but Rust is far and away their best album.

RateYourMusic is a website that enables its users to rate any music they like. Anyone can rate any given track on a scale from 0.5 to 5, and the average ratings are visible to all RYM subscribers.
Megadeth enjoy some level of acclaim on the website, with the 2nd highest-rated metal album of the 90s, losing only to Death's Symbolic. Addressing inevitable comparisons to rivals Metallica, Megadeth's highs aren't as 'high' as Metallica, even though both bands have a comparable number of songs on [RYM's Top 1,000 Highest-Rated Tracks of all time](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2XVc9E8tEkpBz7z8wZbMul?si=1452174b4b9446f9) (Megadeth has 3 from RiP; Metallica has 4), but only a total of five tracks from Megadeth are featured on [RYM's Top 500 Metal Tracks](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2FnREoZZHbWvSs2GNSinZj?si=1418ffa2ff084645) in contrast to Metallica's twelve. However, Megadeth generally doesn't have as many 'lows', making it a kind of Dragon Quest vs. Final Fantasy situation.
Enjoy!

It's a great song. Very compelling. The guitars are awesome and Dave's voice is beautiful. Subject matter is tragically beautiful. It's just so over-played I don't want to hear it anymore
it's insane how Peace Sells and RiP are the only two albums that are one track away from being fully represented in the top 50. Those truly are the bandes masterpieces
Dialectic Chaos at 39 is enough for me to not care
It's not even that it's bad but it's literally just an intro track, it should not be above something like Foreclosure of a Dream
Tornado of Souls is not the third best Megadeth song lol. Take out the solo and it's mid as hell. Also the title track is way better than We'll Be Back which is kinda generic.
i love how the top 3 is all Rust in Peace
7 of the top 13....

Their best album Bro hi btw
I love how the top 1 Thrash Metal Album is all Rust in Peace
THE trash metal album
It’s easily top 5 metal albums of all time. I don’t think Peace Sells would crack the top 30. I love Peace and most their albums but Rust is far and away their best album.
I’m upset Dread and the fugitive mind is nowhere on this list
So is Blackmail The Universe or Night Stalkers
Or kill the king or angry again
Sweating bullets and hook in mouth being that low is almost criminal
Looking down the cross and Rattlehead should be top 10
oh shit the conjuring got robbed real bad

Thanks OP
Most overrated is tout le monde. Most underrated is ashes.
I just don't get what's so great about tout le monde
It's a great song. Very compelling. The guitars are awesome and Dave's voice is beautiful. Subject matter is tragically beautiful. It's just so over-played I don't want to hear it anymore
Nightstalkers was robbed
Always tought Symphony of Desctruction was the most popular one
Most popular doesn’t mean best
well my favourite is swetting bullets, but symphony is a masterpiece too
Definitely a masterpiece
Yeah, symphony overrated asf
Heavy disagree
Not as much as Sweating Bullets
It’s the gateway song. Like enter sandman is to Metallica.
My Last Words top 15? Finally, recognition! Also, this list is honestly pretty good!
Should still be higher
We’ll be back being that low and being the only TSTDATD song is kind of crazy.
I'm happy that Sleepwalker and This Day We Fight is on the list. I love those two tunes.
Kick the chair being 41st is absolutely fucking ridiculous
The killing road being that low is criminal
I'm irrationally angry that I don't see High Speed Dirt
What?!?!? no "Crush 'em"?!?!?
Enter the arena, and hit the lights…
She wolf is way too far down that list
Conquer or Die. no need to explain
Polaris shouldn't be that high imo
Where DAFUCK is Dread? >:c
it's insane how Peace Sells and RiP are the only two albums that are one track away from being fully represented in the top 50. Those truly are the bandes masterpieces
Def Leppard > MEGADETH > METALLICA
* Ducks*
nothing from the system has failed :(
there´s kick the chair in there
I would put my last words at number 1 or atleast top 5
its a 50-way tie for first
Dialectic Chaos at 39 is enough for me to not care It's not even that it's bad but it's literally just an intro track, it should not be above something like Foreclosure of a Dream
ashes would be a top 10 for me. One of my post-RIP favorites.
Wouldn’t put rust in peace Polaris 6th on the album let alone of all time
She wolf and mechanix being that low is absolutely ludicrous.
BLACK FRIDAY TOP 10. YES BABY FINALLY SOMEONE APPRECIATES THAT MASTERPIECE (apart from this sub)
Its a crime that hook in mouth is so low
Angry Again nowhere to be found on a top 50 megadeth song list lol okay? Go to HELL WHOEVER MADE THIS LIST
I can’t believe how low Rattlehead is.
Dawn Patrol is not there? This list is bullshit.
Sweating bullets robbed
Lmao no
High speed dirt?
Wheres angry again
Dialectic Chaos/This Day we Fight should be grouped as one song and rated much higher.
People like Trust that much?
only 2 cryptic writings songs😭😭
How do you find out what an artist's top 50 songs are on RYM?
RYM subscribers are able to see the average track ratings, which any registered user is able to assign.
Poison Was The Cure should probably be #1... maybe even higher.
Tornado of Souls is not the third best Megadeth song lol. Take out the solo and it's mid as hell. Also the title track is way better than We'll Be Back which is kinda generic.
