I'd probably have to go with
Ride the Lightning. It's just so diverse, and the atmosphere is just blacker than black. It feels like everything metal should be. It's also one of the greatest evolutions in style of any non-art rock album I've ever heard. You listen to
Kill 'Em All and then listen to
Ride the Lightning and it's like two different bands. One was a group of dunderheaded but passionate metalheads and then they became a mature, assured band at mastery with their sound all in the space of two years.

That being said, I did in fact vote for RtL.

"Seek and Destrroy" is one of my all-time fav Metallica songs. That riff just destroys everything.
