Few bands have quite the passionate fan-based quite like Metallica, and since it’s James Hetfield‘s birthday today (August 3), this seems like the perfect time to pose this question:

Which studio album in Metallica’s catalog is their best?

Let us know where you stand by voting in the poll below!

8 ’80s Metal Albums Everyone Should Own

• Metallica – ‘Master Of Puppets’

  Share

  More like 'Masterpiece of Puppets.'  Everyone should obey this album.

• Dio – ’Holy Diver’

  Share

  The late Ronnie James Dio was 5’4”, but his voice could move mountains, and it’s on full display on this iconic metal album.

• Motorhead – ‘Ace Of Spades’

  Share

  We’re certainly born to lose, but we live for this Motorhead album.
• Iron Maiden – ‘The Number Of The Beast’

  Share

  It was difficult to pick just one album from Maiden to include on this list, but we picked The Number Of The Beast for its historical significance of it being the first Maiden album to feature Bruce Dickinson. (FYI:  Runner-up was 'Powerslave.')

• Megadeth – ‘Peace Sells…But Who’s Buying?’

  Share

  Speaking of “buying,” BUY THIS ALBUM RIGHT NOW IF YOU SOMEHOW DON'T HAVE IT!

• Slayer – ‘Reign In Blood’

  Share

  If someone creates a “best metal albums” list and a Slayer album isn’t on it, does it actually exist?  No…it doesn’t, and if your metal collection doesn’t include this iconic album, it’s just sorely lacking.
• Judas Priest – ‘British Steel’

  Share

  Like actual steel, this Priest classic is f*cking solid.

• Motley Crue – ‘Shout At The Devil’

  Share

  Badass and glam-influenced and proud of it! Also, that title track, though…
