I’m limited to one?

That’s pretty much “Fade to Black”, by Metallica.

The only playlists it doesn’t end up on are genre limited lists, and it there’s a cover in the genre, that isn’t even certain. There’s a couple of incredible bluegrass covers of it that are on my bluegrass playlists lol.

But, Metallica is more or less my favorite band. I could argue with myself about that and make good points against it being true, but it amounts to it being true anyway.

It’s off of a great album. It’s musically fulfilling, in that it covers a lot of ground without being chaotic. The subject matter is a big one, and it’s one I’ve faced in my life many a time. It has emotional resonance because of that, and because the song has helped me make it through many of those times. It’s kind of a tautology there.

It’s one of James Hetfield’s best vocals (imo).

The guitars are superb, the drums at the peak of Lars Ulrich’s abilities. The bass is present and well mixed (which is not a guarantee with Metallica lol).

There are other songs that find their way into damn near any playlist I make, but none of them can match FtB.
