"One" holds a special place in Metallica history. Despite releasing three albums previous to ...And Justice For All, in 1989 "One" was among the first music videos the band ever made.

The five-minute single edit for the video quickly made it into daytime rotation on MTV and began Metallica's ascent to the mainstream.

The song has remained one of the band's most popular, with fans last summer voting it the second greatest Metallica track of all-time, behind 1986's "Master of Puppets."

Late-Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell famously combined the lyrics for Metallica's "One" with the music from U2's "One" as a mainstay in his solo acoustic show.
