Ok..I'm back with the second installment...so here they are; numbers 80-61
80) Wicked--SymphonyX(The Odyssey) First 10 seconds into the song...and you'll know you have a masterpiece at hand. Unusual riffing...extremely catchy.
79) A Dangerous Meeting--Mercyful Fate (Don't Break The Oath)
DBTO is inarguably the most revolutionary album in Black Metal, and this is easily the best song off this album. Tight riffing....blistering solos thrown in throughout the length of the song and of course...the legendary voice of King Diamond.
78) Troops of Doom--Sepultura(Schizophrenia)
Sepultura's grroviest headbanger this one..the rhythm is so addictive. If you call yourself a fan of thrash and haven't heard this one...shame on you!!
77) Hall Of The Mountain King--Savatage(Hall Of The Mountain King)
Classic thrash song this one. Catchy moving riffs...the chorus ending really gives you an adrenaline kick.
76) Imperium--Machine Head(Through The Ashes Of Empires)
Machine Head's best song to date. Has everything..headbanging moments....slow atmospheric moments...great vocals..screaming as well as clean. Very very structured song this one.
75) This Is Absolution--Killswitch Engage(As Daylight Dies)
One of the best metal songs of 2006. You're really missing some vintage metal if you haven't heard this one...a headbanger's delight, the melodic breakdowns are absolutely mindblowing.
74) Bringing On A Heartbreak--Def Leppard(High N' Dry)
Classic 80s heavy metal. Catchy verses..a melodious chorus and good guitar work.
73) Dig--Mudvayne(L.D.50)
A nu-metal anthem. Impeccable bass work...very very angry!! vocals.
72) E.vil N.ever D.ies--Overkill(The Years of Decay)
This is undoubtedly the most underrated Thrash album of all time. This is the speedy killer cut from this masterpiece.
71) Battery--Metallica(Master Of Puppets)
Still an inspiration to all the extreme death metal acts of today.Soothing acoustic intro..followed by mid-tempo twin solo...and then....5 minute of metal madness.
70) A Mansion In The Darkness--King Diamond(Abigail)
Epic song from the King. The guitars in this song are truly!!! out of this world, and the vocal performance of the King is his best IMO. The best song off this masterpiece of an album. The overall guitar solo performance on Abigail has to be one of the 5 best ever!!(now that's saying a lot...isn't it)
69) Artifacts Of The Black Rain--In Flames(The Jester race)
Another great song from these Swedish masters. Melodious and heavy! the guitar lick/double bass parts are excellent!!!
68) Keeper Of The Seven Keys--Helloween(Keeper Of The Seven Keys Pt.2)
Everything that's good and pure about power metal. A trendsetting epic song, the soloing madness in the climax can still give DragonForce a run for their money.
67) The Eyes Of Medusa--SymphonyX(The Divine Wings Of Tragedy) Right from the word go, this one is a headbangers dream. The opening riff is AWESOME!!The piano-esque keyboards provide for some excellent atmospheric listening. Michael Romeo si definitely one of the better riffmeisters in the business.
66) Freak On A Leash--KoRn(Follow The Leader)
Yeah..I go the nu-metal way again. One of the very few KoRn songs I enjoy....as everyone should. Creeeeeeepyyyy!!! sound this one has...and whiny or not..Jonathan Davis can sing.
65) 5 Minutes Alone--Pantera(Far Beyond Driven)
Angry..bludgeoning thrasher from this legendary quartet. 3 note riff throughout and still a very very entertaining song.
64) Beyond The Realms Of Death--Judas Priest(Stained Class)
Who doesn't know this one!...the suicide song:). Well lyrics apart...and i've never cared for lyrics in metal(yeah..time to judge me again)..this is an epic song from the grand daddies of heavy metal. The solo is one of the best(for it's time)
63) The Ultra-Violence--Death Angel(The Ultra-Violence)
Another one of those underrated masterpiece albums. This is classic 80's Thrash at its best.
62) Queen Of The Reich--Queensryche(Queensryche)
This was before Queensryche went the 'thinking man's metal' way. One hell of a rocker this one...the guitar work as with any Queensryche song...is godly.
61) Wake Up Dead--Megadeth(Peace Sells...But Who's Buying?) Not your typical thrash song this one. Many riff changes throughout, great bass work and the last 1 n a half minutes are almost godly. Pure thrash mayhem...do I need to say anything about the solos?? It's Megadeth!!
Hmm..so that's it for now..catch ya all later;)
