You may or may not entirely agree with our ranking, which spans from the final song on Metallica's 1983 debut, Kill 'Em All, up through closing track of their latest LP, 2023's 72 Seasons.
It doesn't include Lulu, Metallica's album with Lou Reed, though Metallica consider it canon in their discography.
