Ranking The MEGADETH Albums From Worst To Best

Of late, Megadeth have turned into quite the polarizing band. Because of their music? No, mainly because Dave Mustaine manages to upset people whenever he talks anymore. Is that fair? I don’t know. I still think he’s a great musician, and in my opinion he is still writing good stuff. Sure they hit a weak era in the middle, but I think they still turn out worthy releases. Does Dave Mustaine need or want mine or your approval? Nope, he’s the ultimate rebel perhaps, because he is rebelling against the unwritten rules of the metal scene itself by standing for that which metal has rebelled against. Here is how I rank the Megadeth albums:

13   Megadeth Risk (1999)

12   Megadeth Youthanasia (1994)

11   Megadeth The World Needs a Hero (2001)

10   Megadeth United Abominations (2007)

9   Megadeth Endgame (2009)

8   Megadeth Th1rt3en (2011)

7   Megadeth The System Has Failed (2004)

6   Megadeth Cryptic Writings (1997)

5   Megadeth Countdown to Extinction (1992)

4   Megadeth Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying? (1986)
