album: Youthanasia. all the songs are really strong and diverse. The System Has Failed would be a close second.
song: it depends on my mood but right now I'd go with Angry Again because it just kicks ass. It's really hard to pick just one though. The Symphony of Destruction is probably the quintessential Megadeth song. A Tout Le Monde is really beautiful. I really like the lyrics to I Thought I Knew It All. A lot of people were turned off by Crush 'Em, but I think it really rocks, it's also up there with my favorites. Oh yeah, and I almost forgot 99 Ways To Die, which was the first Megadeth song I ever heard and I've been hooked ever since.

Why does Dave feel so bad about Metallica? to me Megadeth are right up there with Metallica in most ways and they definitely rock harder.

Wow! That's a tough question dude
Where to start. Uh... My favorite tune from each album?
I started looking at all my megadeth albums and I really couldn't pick just one.
killing is my buisiness.... - #8 - Mechanix
peace sells.... - #3 - Peace sells
so far so good so what - #6 - In my Darkest Hour (Fucking wicked tune!!! awesome tribute to Burton)
rust in peace - #2 - Hangar 18
countdown - #4 - Foreclosure of a Dream
youthanasia - really tough but I'll go with #2 - Train of consequences
hidden treasures - #5 - 99 ways to die
cryptic writings - #3 - Use the man
risk - #1 - Insom-nee-om-nee-om-nia
capitol punishemnt - #1 - Kill the king - cool track on a greatest hits
the world needs a hero - #1 - Disconnect
the system has failed - #4 - the Scorpion
Actually after all that I'll pick "In My Darkest Hour" as my favorite tune
My favorite album? hmm.... Without picking the live album or the greatest hits I'll say "Youthanasia" I guess, "the World needs a hero" is pretty awesome too though.

He was in the band (metallica I mean) and he co-wrote the majority of the songs and helped name the band. then they went on a tour to NY (they were from LA? is that correct?) and once they got to NY and they fired him (Kirk Hammett was in NY waiting for them) and left him to find his own way home and they were all broke so basically he was all alone in NY with no money and No way home. then when they released thier 1st album most of the songs he wrote were still on the album (but recorded by hammett) and he received no recognition for it (I think) until later. I believe the orginal credits didn't show mustaine as a writer for the songs. But, I could be wrong. (also when metallica's second album came out they still used some of mustaine's songs.) So basically he made megadeth, originally, to show the world he was better than metallica. now metallica has like 8 original studio albums and Megadeth has 10 albums and a b-sides album.
Personally I think Megadeth has only gotten better over the years while I believe Metallica has dwindled to a shell of it's former greatness.

Yeah, as of right now Dave is on top. His last album was great while Metallica's last album was terrible. Also at this point Dave is much more respected by people. Metallica has become somewhat of a joke after the movie, the shitty album, and the whole Napster thing.

I think Metallica was from the San Francisco bay area.

I think their manager relocated them to san fran from LA. I could be wrong but i remember something about that on the VH1 Megadeth thing. And your right . St Anger was a piss poor effort for a band that have alot of potential. Megadeth are on top and will remain there, I just hope TSHF isnt their last offering, Despite what Dave himself says.

Rust in Piece was their peak, and Youthanasia is the last one worth getting. Tornado of Souls is my favorite song, but they have so many great ones, it's impossible to pick a "best".
Countdown to Extinction was really a sellout album for Megadeth. The songs got slower and simpler. Every album after it was worse than the previous. Unlike Metallica's crash with their self-titled album, Megadeth has just slowly decayed. In a way, it's much more depressing to watch.

Any time a band reaches its creative zenith fans like you SHOUT SELLOUT!!! The truth of the matter is, CTE has the best lyrical content and musical arrangements of any Megadeth album released.

Not that I think CTE or Youtahasia were bad, but The System Has Failed was a step in the other direction for Dave. The songs once again got faster and heavier. Also I disagree that Youth is the last one worth getting. Cryptic Writings is a good album. In fact I think its actually heavier and faster than Youth. And I know the reason why. Look at the song writing credits for the songs on Youth, most of the songs are written by the whole band collectively, but on CW Mustaine gets sole credit for most songs like on the older albums. Megadeth is at their best when the rest of the guys step back and let Dave do the writing...that's why the newest album was so good. Marty Friedman is one of the best guitarists there ever was, but his songwriting and musical taste may be somewhat questionable. That's why he's in Japan making pop music instead of being in Megadeth making playing metal like he should be.

Let's just clear one thing up - Megadeth's out and out metal is better than Metallica
And Dave is a millions times better than Kirk Hammett
Album - Rust in Peace
Song - Holy Wars
Sooo hard to choose the above though. I own albums Peace Sells through to The System... except MD45 and The World Needs a Hero. Youthanasia is my least favourite, I even like Risk more.
Rust in Peace is just such an unbelievable album. It picks you up at the start of Holy Wars and doesn't stop your adrenaline rushing until the last note on Polaris. Even on Dawn Patrol where it slows down, that bass riff is incredibly affecting. High spots are the intro on Hangar 18 (genious), the intro and outro on Five Magics (that outro is
), Tornado of souls' solo (
). It's usually available for about ?5 on Amazon. It could be the best ?5 ever spent!
