#5 on the list: Jeff Young (Megadeth) - A Shot but Brilliant Metal Career
Jeff Young enjoyed a relatively short but brilliant time with Megadeth, helping to produce, in my opinion, their finest album. So Far, So Good... So What! and played on the tour for that album. The songs on that album captured the raw emotion that subsequent albums lacked.
My favorite Songs: "Mary Jane" "Liar" & "In My Darkest" Hour" (probably one of my all time favorite Megadeth songs) - Megadeth
