I have to say, that is a Metallica song that, when I hear it, I ask myself, "What the fuck were they thinking?"

It's an "Old and in the Way" tune.  Jerry Garcia on vocals.  Good tune but best ever?  Not sure I agree.

What are you talking about? They did a great version of it. As did several other acts and genres. That’s why it’s the greatest song ever written, every version of it kicks ass, across genres.

By these metrics, Happy Birthday is the greatest song ever written.

The problem is it’s not a good song.

Fucking awesome song. Always sung on festive occasions, or before a President loses his brains in Dallas.

Thin Lizzy covered it in '72, which led to Metallica covering it in '98. 

It's alright.

NIN - Hurt is, IMO, the best song.

I like Johnny Cash's version as well.

The best song ever written.  High on the list, anyway.

Admittedly, he's pretty high on the list of best song-writers too, in my estimation.
