The thing that should not be, it just sounds so dark and epic.

Enter Sandman is epic. I think it's one of the most popular and most liked Metallica songs ever.

Trapped Under Ice - Gets the blood pumping and the lyrics are awesome
Fixxxer - Have always dug this song its nice groovy but also a wall of sound with some nice voodoo lyrics
Orion - I'm a bass player what do you want from me
Broken, Beat & Scarred - Just blew me away I expected Death Magnetic to be St. Anger vol 2 but wow this song made me want to run over puppies

The old school thrash era - Disposable Heroes
Later - The Unforgivens and All Nighmare Long

Dyer's Eve, the pure hate and anger makes it my favourite Metallica song.

To Live Is To Die. Really heavy, kinda proggy, catchy melodic riffs and the acoustic parts summon the puppies of love.
Songs where Burton was involved in the songwriting are among the best of their catalog.

Cliff had no hand in the writing of the music to that song though. His only contribution to the song was the lyrics.

Nope, some riffs (specially the acoustic intro and ending, I read somewhere) are loosely based on music he wrote before dying.
The words were supposedly also his, as his sister found it written by him I don't remember where, but in the end it was an excerpt from a book or something. They found that out a lot later.

Today, after 3 years from my last post here, i would say the best would be "Orion" and "Fade To Black"

Creeping Death takes it for me, though a personal favorite for me is Hit The Lights.

The Ecstasy of Gold Intro they use at their concerts!

But on a serious note, Battery or Master of Puppets

Battery
Blackened
Fight Fire with Fire
Master of Puppets
Phantom Lord

No Remorse for sure, first metallica song i heard (other than Enter Sandman... and nothing else matters....) and it remains my favorite

Enter sandman, i love the guitar parts.
& master of puppets. that was the first metal song i learned on guitar.
anything off kill em all is amazing

Welcome Home (Sanitarium)

...Just leave me alone.

Of Wolf and Mannnnnn!

My best Metallica song is my secret, but my publicized one is the song of father-son or conflict or fight relationship The Days That Never Comes.

I haven't cared about Metallica since very long, but I owe them a lot because they . My favorite songs by them are:
Fight Fire For Fire: It sounds like a pure tempest.
Fade To Black: That ending solo is amazing.
Creeping Death: A great piece of thrash, with awesome Ancient Egyptian-esque lyrics.
Master Of Puppets: No explanation needed.
Orion: Crushing.
Welcome Home (Sanitarium): Atmospheric stuff.
Dyers Eve: Pure thrashing stuff.

MAAAASSSTTTEEERRR...

Living Is to Die

Disposable Heroes - best Metallica lyrics ever!!!
Damage, Inc.
Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
Fight Fire With Fire
Battery
Creeping Death
Ride The Lightning
Blackened
Orion
The Call Of Ktulu

For Whom The Bell Tolls is most likely mine, or else One.

CREEPING DEATH

My personal favorite Metallica song would have to be One. I love how melancholic the song is at first, and it builds to a great climax. I don't listen to the band much now, but I always thought that song was awesome.
