Sorry for the long delay...had been busy with Holi. Here are numbers 40 to 21.
40. Painkiller--Judas Priest(Painkiller)
Great riffs...great vocals...this song was so influential on the newer extreme metal acts that death actually covered it in one of their albums.
39.This Mortal Coil--Carcass(Heartwork)
The classic song off what is arguably the most influential death metal album ever. This is like Morbid Angel meets Megadeth meets Iron Maiden meets Judas Priest meets Obituary meets Metallica.
38.Blind--KoRN--(KoRN)
Who doesn't know this one....aaaaaaaarrrrreeeee you readyyyyyyyyyyyyyy???One of the greatest headbangers ever.
37. The Enemy Within--Arch Enemy(Wages Of Sin)
Blistering..bludgeoning....hard as steel!!! Pure metal mayhem this one. Angela Gossow may be a woman but she can scare the pants off many a death metal growlers.
36. Welcome To The Jungle--Guns N Roses(Appetite For Destruction)
Me and my friends grew up listening to this stuff....Axl's voice has never sounded so menacing!! It has what is probably the greatest hard rock vocal performance ever.
35. The Four Horsemen--Metallica(Kill 'Em All)
I was actually confused between this and Mechanix(killing...good--megadeth) but this wins hands down in the end. This is what started the whole thrash metal revolution in the true sense.
34. Death Certificate--Carcass(Heartwork)
Is it heavy metal..is it thrash...is it grindcore..is it death metal....or is it classic hard rock?? This was the beauty of this Carcass album released in 1993. This was actually the FIRST MELODIC DEATH METAL ALBUM recorded. In flames, Dark tranquillity, At The Gates...and newer acts like Trivium..Killswitch Engage owe a lot to Carcass. The opening riff of this song will tell you how Papa Roach make their insanely unoriginal, insipid,stupid, bogus music. Without doubt the best death metal song I've heard....except one!..you'll see later.
33. Pull Me Under--Dream Theater(Images And Words)
DT's most "metal" song to date..insane riffing patterns this one has. I'm sure you've heard it.
32. Black Is Black--AC/DC(Back In Black)
AC/DC's crowning achievement...this is rock n' roll metal at its best!!
31. December Flower--In Flames(The Jester Race)
How can death metal be played so tastefully??? Of course, it has the growling, screaming vocals, but the music on this one is pure bliss!! and the solo is definitely one of the 5 greatest metal solos ever.
30. Sweating Bullets--Megadeth(Countdown To Extinction)
Menacing Mega-Dave Mustaine never ceases to bombard us with vintage metal. Blazing riffs....immaculate solos...typically classic Megadeth.
29. Breaking The Law--Judas Priest(British Steel)
Short and sweet doze of classic heavy metal this is. My favourite as well as one of the most popular Judas Priest songs.
28. Aces High--Iron Maiden(Powerslave)
You can't really go wrong with Iron Maiden..everything they touch seems to be pure gold. The legendary intro guitar lick and then the galloping rhythm...this one has one of Maiden's best choruses.
27. Wherever I May Roam--Metallica(Metallica)
Purists can go to hell....no matter what all the pseudo-hardcore kids say..the Black Album was a classic and this song is one of many classics it had...period.
26. Smoke On The Water--Deep Purple(Machine Head)
No need to say anything here. This is probably the most covered/played/requested song in hard rock/metal history.
25. Raining Blood--Slayer(Reign In Blood)
40 seconds of speed metal mayhem....then about half a minute of atmospheric sounds and lightning..and then what has to be one of the most memorable riffs in thrash history. This songs just kills!! RIB is arguably the most revolutionary album in Metal history..second only to Black Sabbath's debut I guess.
24. Number Of The Beast--Iron Maiden(Number Of The Beast)
Everything about this song is legendary..I'll just stop at that.
23. Black Dog--Led Zeppelin(Led Zeppelin IV)
Snarling vocals by Robert Plant..and one of the grooviest and unorthodox, if I might add rhythms ever. Led Zeppelin's best song IMHO
22. Chalice of Blood--Forbidden(Forbidden Evil)
One of the most adrenaline pumping Thrash songs ever. This one has like.... 800 riffs in it!!
21. Crazy Train--Ozzy Osbourne(Blizzard Of Ozz)
Legendary opening riff this one has...one of the cathiest metal songs ever!!
well ...that's it for now...see ya later
