This list right here, pretty much. The line-up with Friedman and Menza will always be Megadeth, as I see them.

The furthest out from this era that I really dug an album of theirs was "The System has Failed."

It's difficult to discuss Megadeth without talking about Metallica. If "Countdown" is Mustaine's "Black Album," which record do you see as Megadeth's "Load"?

Do you think it's only coincidence that both bands tried their hands at more accessible hard rock at roughly the same time? And has their ever been a time when Megadeth seemed to have the upper hand or came close to overtaking Metallica? Seems Dave's always been snake-bitten when it comes to such stuff. Even Metallica's laughable documentary, "Some Kind of Monster," somehow managed to make Dave look even worse than it did Hetfield and Ulrich. No easy task...
