Which 1986 Megadeth album includes the song 'Peace Sells'?
Answer
Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?
The 1986 Megadeth album that includes “Peace Sells” is Peace Sells... but Who’s Buying? The album is Megadeth’s second studio release and arrived on September 25, 1986, through Capitol Records.
The title track became one of Megadeth’s signature songs and a breakthrough moment for the American thrash-metal band. Dave Mustaine wrote the song, including its bass-led opening, and the lyrics challenge media stereotypes about metal fans while addressing political and social tensions.
The album’s cover features Vic Rattlehead portrayed as a real-estate agent selling the wreckage of the United Nations Headquarters. That image reflects the record’s bleak, satirical tone. Common mix-ups include choosing Killing Is My Business, Megadeth’s 1985 debut, or Rust in Peace, the band’s influential 1990 album. Peace Sells... but Who’s Buying? was recorded in early 1986 with producer Randy Burns, then remixed after Capitol signed the band.
