Best Song Ever

[Hell Mike]

This is a VERY difficult subject, I know, and even though I am usually 100% certain some lingonberry (??) jam in my hair made me realize it might not be that clear no matter what the usual verdict is and my always outwardly apparent certainty seems to be, at least for the time being, diminishing. Thus this poll was created to have true Royalty help a Swede in need decide where he is divided. Choose one, only one, ladies and gentlemen. One song, one winner. One winner of winners, one to rule them all. Be it bringing a grown viking as close to tears as can be or sending him in an abysmal leap towards temporary oblivion? Be it sheer pride and sadness in the blood so perfectly expressed with heavy metal guitars and heartfelt vocals or rifforama deluxe summoning things that should not be, devoid of empty words?
Be it Bathory or Metallica?

Only you can tell.

Not that I will care about what you say anyway, though.

I dig The Call Of The Ktulu, one of the few Metallica songs that are at least 8/10 in my book. Far from being the best song ever, though, but at least I like it better than the other option.

The Call of Ktuli

[AsModEe]

I voted "The sea of Immeasurable Lost", but actually voted for Call of the Ktulu

What did you guys think of Metallica's S&M? I didn't think the songs worked that well with the orchestra.

That said, the two new songs (Minus Human and No Leaf Clover) I thought were actually very good.

I'm being honest here, if Metallica had released an album with songs of that quality, I would have been impressed. It would have been a step up from Load/Reload at least.

A few songs worked well with the 'S', but more didn't. For Whom the Bell Tolls was pretty good.

"I Do Believe We're Naked" - Funky C Funky Do

 

[General Zod]

Red Hot pisses all over it

Not that I don't like it, but "Red Hot" is probably my least favorite song on Side B of the cassette.

I heard Pantera used to play Red Hot everynight before going out on stage ...

True, each side isn't harmonized with the other IMO . It works on some songs though (the most emphatic and the slowest iirc) , but it doesn't overall justify a full orchestra etc..

It deserves a 10 just for Cliff's greatest performance, but it's always been behind Orion, which for years was my favorite instrumental track by anyone.

Asa Bay is clearly the only truth this universe has ever known.

 

[Necromunchkin]

I'm more likely to listen to Det Some Engang Var on a given day, to be sure. and I've known and loved Call of Ktulu for over two decades... yet I have to give it to "...Asa Bay" after much thought.
