Megadeth is my favorite band of all time...I love everything this band has produced, every studio album. As a brazilian I didnt have many opportunities to see them live, last time was in 2016 with Kiko Loureiro, what a concert...Here comes my ranking, a little bit different than yours, especially when it comes to the first era and the most recent with Kiko. 1. Rust In Peace (this and Ziggy Stardust from Bowie are my all time favorite albums) 2. Peace Sells 3. Countdown to Extinction 4. Youthanasia 5. Dystopia 6. Endgame 7. United Abominations 8. So Far, So Good...So What 9. Cryptic Writings (I know it deserves a better position, I really like it, but I think it is not as heavy as I wanted) 10. Killing Is My Business (as you said, killer album, but the original production is not good for me, the most recent remaster is awesome tho) 11. The System Has Failed 12. Thirteen 13. Super Collider 14. Risk (It is not heavy, and it sounds weird a little bit, but some songs I really love, like Wanderlust, Prince of Darkness and Doctor Calling) 15. The World Needs a Hero (long time no listen to any of the tracks)

Top 5 for me. 1: Rust In Peace 2: Peace Sells, But Who's Buying 3: Dystopia 4: United Abominations 5: Countdown to Extinction

My order: 1. Rust in peace 2. Peace sells 3. Countdown 4.Killing is my business 5.Youthanasia 6.So far so good I haven't listened much of any of the other lineups, but those 6 are so good

'Peace Sells' is easily my favorite MEGADETH Album !!! The songs 'Good Mourning Black Friday' & 'My Last Words' are absolute gems !!

They won a Grammy award for Dystopia. When they won some crappy version of Metallicas master of puppets played in the background. What a disgrace! Grammy never respected metal.

KIMB however is pricier if you want an old pressing with "These Boots" present _and_ uncensored. Shame the 2002 remaster has that godawful, unlistenable bleeped version of "Boots", and the 2018 version has an awkward reworked version with original lyrics to appease Lee Hazlewood's estate.

Robert Leese there’s a good remaster of TWNAH and The System Has Failed out recently that’s not a remix but just a remaster and actually makes both albums sound better. The drums have more depth and the guitar has more bite. Listen to Kick the Chair 2019 remaster on KZread and check it out or Dread and the Fugitive Mind 2019 remaster. Both sound better than the original and weren’t messed with by Mustaine but by a professional mastering engineer.

Killing is my Business is underrated .. it's their best from a vintage metal standpoint! The riffs are also extremely creative on that album.

Peace Sells is number 1 for me. Such jaw dropping playing and songs. Thrashy and jazzy. Just super. Oh and awesome shirt Pete!

On The System Has Failed, drummer Vinnie Colaiuta brought a level of sophistication not often found on the typical thrash album. Over the course of one weekend, he learned all of the songs and recorded perfect takes - this simply blew Mustaine's mind. Chris Poland returned to record on that album simply because Colaiuta was involved.

I was never a real "Metal head" but I bought Countdown to Extinction when it came out after seeing them on a UK TV show ,either Raw Power or Noisy Mothers. Loved every track , still like to listen to it occasionally . Architecture For Aggression always blew me away when the lead guitar comes in. I bought all the ltd edition vinyl singles at the time, still got em. Later I bought Peace Sells ..but never enjoyed it at all.

Why do people put 'The System Has Failed' so far down on their lists? I get that it was originally supposed to be a Mustaine solo album, but the album is great none the less. Very underrated in my opinion.

Glad to see ‘Endgame’ ranked that high. One of my favorite Deth albums. Definitely my favorite from the post-Marty Friedman eras.

Peace Sells is so important to me. It is my fav also. It brings back a lot of good teenage memories. I was fortunate to see them in 1990. It was the Rust In Peace tour. They opened for Judas Priest which was the Painkiller tour. Amazing show. To top it off I ended up catching one of Marty's guitar picks. I still have it. Thanx for the video Pete. It brought back a lot of great memories. Stay safe

I know exactly what you are saying when picking the favorite. Peace Sells was my entry point and is still my favorite to this day. I remember seeing the ads for this album in Hit Parader magazine back in the day and the cover had me sold. I couldn't wait until it was released and it did not disappoint. Classic thrash.

So far, so good = underrated! 1988 classic!

Don't know any post 2000 albums so I'll trust your words. However, I must be the only one who really likes Cryptic Writings (even metal expert Martin Popoff gives it a so-so). All I can say is you throw the disc on and it sounds great start to finish! Not heavy enough?? Anyway your top 2 are excellent and both very memorable. I remember the first time I heard Peace Sells; guitars were doing battle, coming at you from all angles. Truly a new technical assault of the senses! Mustaine should be remembered for his innovation

Great analysis - just earned a sub

Like Megadeth, don't have alot of their stuff, few mixes here and there. A concert near miss for me. Not sure how well this will go over but any plans to do Autograph, Krokus or Fastway album rankings?

I loved Cryptic Writings! And then when Risk followed, that was a big disappountment. I agree with that one coming in last. So hard to rank most of the early ones but fave is definitely Countdown To Extinction.

Ok, so I guess I'm part of the small minority that actually likes the Risk album. Is it classic thrash Megadeth? No, but that doesn't make it a bad metal/hard rock album in and of itself. I happen to really like Dave's vocals, and this is a strong album in that respect with loads of catchey hooks that I find myself singing along to. And if you listen to the last 2 or 3 albums leading up to this one you can hear the progession that led to Risk. I guess I like this one for the same reason I like Rush's Signals... because it was so different from anything they had done up to that point. Unfortunately (IMHO) Rush continued down that path, where as for Megadeth it was one and done... they got it out of their system and then moved on. If nothing else, I find Risk to me more memorable than the 6 or so albums since then that kinda all sound like the same formula and all run together in my mind. To each his own.

I like the way you stress that we're all different & musical taste is subjective...so many people do get nasty about such things, and for no good reason. I'd like to see a segment on the awesome VOIVOD. It's your vids, so you can do whatever bands you want...but I can't resist recommending a cew bands - you may have done some already...you may or may not dig sone of these: Celtic Frost, Coroner, Onslaught (UK), Faith No More, and dunno if you've done Sepultura... Whatever you do rate, I'll be watching. You've clued me in to bands I'd not heard of... I wonder what you think of the 70s band Dust...obscure to a lotta people, but I bet you've heard them. You channel is an excellent antidote to cabin fever.

Cool. I was wondering if you liked any of the vintage 80’s thrash.

Rust in Piece Peace Sells But Who’s Buying? So Far, So Good, So What? Youthanasia Countdown to Extinction (I go back and forth on the first two and last two)

It is Rust in Peace

My personal list: 1. Rust in Peace 2. Peace Sells...But Whose Buying? 3. Endgame 4. So Far, So Good, So What? 5. Countdown to Extinction 6. United Abominations 7. Dystopia 8. Youthanasia 9. Killing is My Business 10. Th1rt3en 11. The World Needs A Hero 12. Cryptic Writings 13. The System has Failed 14. Super Collider 15. Risk Megadeth for me is a band where though I've been listening to them for most of my life, what I view as their weaker albums are albums I practically never listen to. There are tracks that I enjoy, but as an album? They don't do a lot for me. Still, an important band for me and I freaked out a lot when I first bought and listened to Rust in Peace in my CD walkman. I hadn't actually heard any of that album before, only Megadeth song I had at home was "The World Needs A Hero."

Great list brother. Only thing I might do different is bump the system has failed up a few spots. I really like a few tracks on there.

Ed Rock Youthanasia is was too low on the list

Endgame in my stero now. Rust in piece best album by far and one of the best ever in all of metal.

Nice list! I give Dystopia more cred over United Abominations as the “come back album” and I can’t wait for new album next year 😁 I absolutely love that you have So Far so Good in your top 5 man I find many underrate that brutal distinctive album

Peace Sells is one of my all time favorite albums from any band. Maybe because Chris Poland and Gar Samuelson were both born in my hometown.

Got to be "Rust in Peace" I was a BIG fan of Cacophony so I remember thinking that Marty Friedman didn´t fit in the band, well I changed my mind in about 15 minutes...

Being a melodic metal guy my favorite 4 are: 1. Youthanasia, 2. The System has Failed, 3. United Abominations, 4. Countdown to Extinction. Personally, this band has never failed.

The first four run of Killing, Peace, So Far and Rust will always be my favorites. That's when I was most into Megadeth.

December 14 1990. Tremendous show. @ Brendan Byrne Arena. / East Rutherford NJ. MEGADETH. &. The “ infamous. JUDAS PRIEST. The good old days- When Corona was an ice cold beer 🍺 with a lime !!!

Chris Poland. Such an amazing player. My personal favorite Megadeth guitarist.
