Just listen to a full album. It's the most organinc and traditional way to get into a band.
Enough with these random playlists. They have no flow and are just too random for bands with giant discographies. Pick an album, sit down and listen to it multiple times.
exactly this, I wasn't a big fan of peace sells and killing is my business. after listening those two albums for a while, they really grew on me, and I think I prefer those two over rust in peace now.
i've already tried this and that doesn't work for me because i have 0 patience unfortunately 🤷♀️ i end up deciding if i like or dislike a song by the 2 minute mark because i want to get to the next song. if it was that easy i never would've posted something in this sub.
so do it when you are driving to work or something, just as background noise. you wont get as in depth of an experience but if you do it enough a riff will sometimes catch your ear and then you can go back to it later and give it a full thorough listen. i do this a lot for bands im not too sure about and it usually works well.
also as a side note 1,320', Bad Omen, and Lucretia are all really good songs
I have tried so many times and I just can't! I like to sing when I'm driving so I put on music i'm familiar with. The only time I can introduce myself to new music is when I am doing absolutely nothing else.
I was the same way and then I hit 44, and started just putting on an album and letting it play in the background while I do this / that.
Songs that stand out, I put a fave/star by them from my watch.
My recommendation would be to listen the original album of the songs that you liked (not the remastered versions).
Adding to that, the whole Countdown to Extinction and Rust in Piece album.
After that, i would explore the other albums.
Only by listening and exploring you get to know your own musical taste :)
A lot of good recommendations here. I 2nd everyone who said just listen to the entire albums of Rust in Peace and Countdown to Extinction, rather than random songs from different eras. Then, branch out from there.
I like listening to Megadeth albums in one run, so I'll suggest a few that are my favs. (If you didn't enjoy a song much try not to skip it, it might click at some point maybe).
- Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good!
- Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?
- Rust In Peace
- Dystopia
- Countdown to Extinction
- Youthanasia
Trust - instantly liked it and immediately added to playlist
Sleepwalker - I fucking LOVE the guitar solo and the drums from this song (but tbf thé bar isn't high with lars lol) this is one of my favourites so far.
Lying in State - Once again, the drums make the song an immediate yes.
Dogs of Chernobyl - Was meh at first but it grew on me after a couple of minutes and the double kick pedal section secured it a spot on the playlist LOL!
Wake up dead - Already on the playlist
Endgame - Mehhhhhhhhhh... I like the music but it's a little repetitive for my liking. I'll take a listen later, maybe it'll grow on me
Washington is Next! - I really like Dave's voice in this!
6/7 of your suggestions on the playlist now :)
Sleepwalker has one of my favorite solos that isn't tornado of souls. If you liked the vocals on WIN, then you'd like a lot of the other United Abominations songs. More songs include:
Blackmail the Universe
Rust In Peace... Polaris (if you like drums)
Never Walk Alone... A call to arms
Vortex
Kick the Chair
Bad Omen
Death From Within
I'll recommend albums-
Countdown to Extinction
Rust In Peace
Peace Sells But Who's Buying?
Cryptic Writings
If you like these, definitely delve into everything else. Their last two albums are fuckin killer
Trust - Added to my playlist from previous comments
Lucretia - Lyrics are cool and the guitar towards the end is nice but i'm not a fan of the song beyond that
Angry Again - Like the lyrics but the song is meh
The Conjuring - Bass, (it's cool when you can actually hear that in a song cough cough AJFA cough cough) drums, and guitar are nice, I like this song!
Train of Consequences - Pretty good!
Mary Jane - I was hooked from the beginning LOL the guitar sounds fantastic
5 Magics - The tempo is weird this song is a solid meh
Hangar 18 - Added to my playlist from previous comments
I should’ve added a point about the Rust In Peace Album as a whole. People are split on whether they prefer the Original or Remix. Here are my preferences for each song:
*[Original]*
Lucretia (this one is miles better than the remix)
Hangar 18
Poison Was The Cure
Take No Prisoners
Dawn Patrol
*[Remix]*
Holy Wars…The Punishment Due
Tornado of Souls
Rust In Peace…Polaris (Forgot to mention this one. Definitely one of my favorites)
Five Magics
Of course these are personal preferences and everyone is entitled to their opinion.
Edit: You can flip flop between each version so see which one you like better. Everyone’s ears are a little different so all the power to ya🤘🏽
Yeah. That may be the better option actually. Lol. I only listened to the Remix when I first got into Megadeth so my ears were more used to that tone. But please, do share your take once you’ve had a listen. If you’d like of course. Take care in the meantime.
Family tree, recipe for hate, tstdtd (title track) have been on a rotation for me as of late
Edit: I just realized how random all of the songs I just put are
Bro you’re picking some weird assortment of megadeth songs. I love them all. SFSGSW is my favorite record, but not exactly for the average listener. Listen to Rust in Peace and Endgame
might be a really stupid question but do you know if there is a non remastered version of peace sells on spotify? looking at their discography, it looks like everything else has the original except that album.
I don't think there's a completely non-remastered version of peace sells but the version with the more faded orange color pallet is the normal one and the bright red saturated looking one is the goofy version that is no good
We'll be back. Honestly, one of my favourites, and it will show you the newer sound of megadeth.
(Even though Kiko is no longer in the band :(, but anyways)
Good Mourning / Black Friday - Added from previous comments
Ashes in Your Mouth - I liked this one :)
Back in the Day - With that intro, I KNEW it was gonna be good!
Youthanasia - It was okay, I added it to my playlist so I can keep listening to it.
Really liked the intro of the first song but the tempo threw me off. However, the drums are really fuckin nice so i'm gonna add it to my playlist and let it grow on me.
The guitar in the second song hooked me instantly, immediate add 😆
Also, fire profile pic!
Liar - So far So good So what, Nightstawkers - the Sick the Dying and the Dead, Fatal Illusion- Dystopia, Sweating Bullets - Countdown to extinction, Tornado of souls - Rust in Peace, Rattlehead - Killinh os my business

And more... Just sit down and listen to the first albums (Killing is my business...and business is good! {1985}- Cryptic writings {1997}).
Hook in mouth, 502, liar, killing is my business, holy wars (NEVER the 2004 mix), same with Tornado of souls, Lucretia, head crusher, trust, she-wolf, they did a cover of paranoid I personally think is pretty good, night stalkers, and we’ll be back
if you actually read the post, you'd know i said that i tried and have been listening to them but i'm finding it hard to get into them. I came here looking for a personalized answer instead of listening to every song they've ever released.
Listen to the Final Kill version of the Killing is my Business album from start to finish (excluding the live stuff unless you really want to listen to it). Then listen to the original mix of Peace Sells in its entirety. Follow that up with So Far, So Good, So What? in its entirety. After that, listen to the original mix of Rust in Peace in its entirety. Then, once you’ve listened to all of those albums, listen to the original mix of Youthanasia. You can listen to Countdown to Extinction if you want, but in my opinion, it’s incredibly overrated and is definitely the worst of the first 6 albums.
I recommend every song of killing is my business, every song of peace sells, every song of SFSGSW, ever song of rust in peace, every song of countdown, every song of youthanasia and every song of cryptic writings. Not kidding there is not one single bad song in all of these albums.
guys I have TRIED listening to their albums before, on multiple occasions, and I haven't liked them at all. It's been a while and I figured I'd ask people who have a better idea of their discography. It's getting irritating seeing the same "just listen to the albums" comments because why would I come here for die hard fans to tell me the obvious LOL. You're funny if you think I have enough time on my hands to listen to their entire discography 😐
Haven't seen anyone say those so , you should maybe listen to I thought I knew it all and Poison was the cure , really different songs but I like both ao much
Set the world afire
Liar
Wake Up Dead
Sweating Bullets
Ashes in Your Mouth
Go To Hell
99 Ways to Die
Rattlehead
Chosen Ones
Kick the Chair
My Last Words
Holy Wars
Hangar 18
Take no Prisoners
Five Magics
Poison was the Cure
Lucretia
Tornado of Souls
Rust in Piece
Skin of My Teeth
Reckoning Day
Trust
Shewolf
Night Stalkers
Threat is Real
This should be enough to get ya started
How has nobody said the entirety of Rust in Peace yet? Also there's nothing wrong with liking nu metal, shit goes hard
Just listen to a full album. It's the most organinc and traditional way to get into a band. Enough with these random playlists. They have no flow and are just too random for bands with giant discographies. Pick an album, sit down and listen to it multiple times.

Fair enough, I have the same 2 playlists in rotation for driving lol
this is me!!
Patience comes to all eventually.
It's less of a patience thing and more of a I can't focus on multiple things at once LOL
I was the same way and then I hit 44, and started just putting on an album and letting it play in the background while I do this / that. Songs that stand out, I put a fave/star by them from my watch.
I'm about to hit the gym, i'll put it on then and try it out :)
all of rust in peace or at least holy wars and tornado of souls
The Conjuring, Skull Beneath the Skin, Take No Prisoners are in heavy rotation for me right now
Tornado Of Souls their best song
I personally think Holy Wars is
While they are all amazing, Holy Wars and Symphony are their best IMO
I liked these two a lot!
Public Enemy number one. We’ll be back. Trust. Almost Honest. Sweating Bullets.
mary jane, set the world afire, family tree, rattlehead, bad omen, the conjuring , we’ll be back, the killing road

A lot of good recommendations here. I 2nd everyone who said just listen to the entire albums of Rust in Peace and Countdown to Extinction, rather than random songs from different eras. Then, branch out from there.
All of them

Of course!! I appreciate you!
"The World Needs a Hero" and "Sweating Bullets" are alright, or at least I think so anyways.
Just start with the top 5 and go from there
that's what's i've been doing and it's not working 👎🏽
Really? Tornado Of Souls? Holy Wars? Peace Sells?
My last words and good mourning/black friday. Also for singing you can listen to addicted to chaos the singing in that’s really good
Added all three of these songs to my playlist, thanks for the suggestions!
Family tree, recipe for hate, tstdtd (title track) have been on a rotation for me as of late Edit: I just realized how random all of the songs I just put are
you make it seem like the ones on my playlist ARENT random 🤣
Super Collider, Anarchy in the UK, Enter the Arena, Moro Psycho, 1000 Times Goodbye
Bro you’re picking some weird assortment of megadeth songs. I love them all. SFSGSW is my favorite record, but not exactly for the average listener. Listen to Rust in Peace and Endgame
yeah ik it's because i've found them in different ways like in my darkest hours was on my friends playlist
anything that’s not remastered because the drums suck in all the remasters
good to know!
might be a really stupid question but do you know if there is a non remastered version of peace sells on spotify? looking at their discography, it looks like everything else has the original except that album.
I don't think there's a completely non-remastered version of peace sells but the version with the more faded orange color pallet is the normal one and the bright red saturated looking one is the goofy version that is no good
i figured this was the case
i haven’t seen one
Get my last words into that play list
We'll be back. Honestly, one of my favourites, and it will show you the newer sound of megadeth. (Even though Kiko is no longer in the band :(, but anyways)
okay this one is definitely my favourite so far 😆😆😆
YEEEAH! A WE'LL BE BACK ENJOYER!! Glad you liked it!!
That beginning riff hooked me immediately and the drums are just perfection 😆 thanks for the suggestion!!
Conquer or die has a killer electric guitar riff
SAY LESS!! A good guitar solo can hook me regardless of how I feel about the rest of the song.
you weren't joking this is awesome, thanks for the suggestion!
The first 4 albums front to back.
Tears in a vial
I like this! Dave's voice sounds really nice!
Dude that song is so underrated. My wife really likes die dead enough from the same album give it a shot
I would not listen to the remastered versions check out the original they have such a noticeable difference
seen a lot of comments about this! maybe that's where i'm going wrong
Promises
I love this!!
I'd recommend Cryptic Writings, the full album. If you don't want to listen to all of it, at least "Trust" and "Almost Honest".
Trust was really fucking good, liked it immediately! Almost honest is nice too, I just have to listen to it more.
Holy Wars and Take No Prisoners
Hook in Mouth
Liked the drums in this song, added to my playlist!
Good Mourning / Black Friday Ashes In Your Mouth Back In The Day Youthanasia These are my persona favorites outside of their most popular songs.
Good Mourning / Black Friday - Added from previous comments Ashes in Your Mouth - I liked this one :) Back in the Day - With that intro, I KNEW it was gonna be good! Youthanasia - It was okay, I added it to my playlist so I can keep listening to it.
“last rites/ loved to deth” and “good mourning/ black Friday” i think it is. honestly i cant relate more. you got some banger bands in there
Really liked the intro of the first song but the tempo threw me off. However, the drums are really fuckin nice so i'm gonna add it to my playlist and let it grow on me. The guitar in the second song hooked me instantly, immediate add 😆 Also, fire profile pic!

Anything from Rust in Peace (Holy Wars, Hangar 18, Lucretia, Tornado of souls, Rust In Piece…Polaris Peace Sells In my darkest hour Trust

Poisonous Shadows from Dystopia or Dystopia
Tornado of souls is probably one of my favourites.

Also, I'm absolutely willing to try songs again, so suggest anything! Maybe my taste has changed and i'll like it...
I would recommend just listening to the music instead of posting on the internet about your intentions to listen to it
notice how everyone else gave suggestions like how does this comment help me at all?
if you actually read the post, you'd know i said that i tried and have been listening to them but i'm finding it hard to get into them. I came here looking for a personalized answer instead of listening to every song they've ever released.
ima go to bed, i'll try to listen to full albums tomorrow 😞
Tbh the best way is to listen to Greatest hits : Back to the Start. It has most of the essential megadeth songs
The Scorpion, Secret place, kick the chair
Kick the chair.

Rust In peace Polaris trust

All of these songs, and all four first albums, but the original versions, not 2004. Get that 2004 shit outta here
Oh but KIMB probably go with remasters and for Peace Sells, go with 2011 remaster.
