What is your favourite metal song?

I definitely didn't quote this song in my highschool yearbook grad comment..
Good! That would be really embarrassing if we both quoted Metallica songs in our HS yearbooks. Which we definitely did not.

In Flames - Only for the weak
Iced Earth - Frankestein
Antioch - Where the dagger lies
Children of Bodom - Needled 24/7 -
Oooh, same. That version of No Leaf Clover is waaaaay up there for me. That and The Memory Remains.
I'm in the weird position that that album was my introduction to metallica, so any version other than the full symphony sounds weird to me
Same here. It was not only my introduction to Metallica, it was literally the first album to get me into non-country music (it'd kinda become my identity as a kid) and the first non-country album I HAD TO BUY (and the first CD purchase that worried my parents). I'll never forget waking up to my cousin playing that song and thinking, "WHAT. IS. THAT. AMAZING. SOUND!?"

Metal is too hard to define. Some old folks would say poison is metal. Some would say only Megadeath and Pantera are metal. Some say they're pop and not metal at all. It's just not worth arguing in this sector. I grew up in the 90s and enjoy "nü metal" the 80s made shit music as far as I'm concerned and isn't metal at all. Is the music racist? Then its not metal. There's a lot of racism in bands that are considered metal. Then you have the ADHD industrial metal. What is metal and what isn't? Megadeath sucks shit outside of a few songs and are openly embraced by neonazis. It's honestly a very hipster style, with so many being labeled cool or not cool based on the time at any given moment, and whether or not they fit in.

What a peculiar title for a song

Bullet With A Name - Nonpoint
WAKE UP - The Browning (whole album is good, intro is a fucking headbanger)

Hmmm...
Enter Sandman, and The Unforgiven (Metallica)
The Phantom of the Opera in Tarja's and Marko's version (Nightwish). Also Storytime in Anette's version.
The Keeper of the Seven Keys, and Eagle Fly Free (Helloween)
Chop Suey (System of a Down)
Dance With the Dragon (Dark Sarah)
Ace of spades (Motörhead)
.... A bunch of stuff from Guns'n'Roses, Black Sabbath, and Poison (maybe my definition of metal is wider than yours...)
Other days I'd have listed something by Evanescence, Edguy, Blind Guardian, Dream Theater, Korpiklaani, Alestorm, Nanowar, Dragonforce, ...
Yeah, I tend to be biased towards power metal, symphonic metal, and various '80s groups that are somewhere on the border between "hard rock" and "metal". I know that's not everyone's cup of tea.

I'd argue this is a precursor to metal rather than metal itself. Still a great song that everyone should listen to.
Also Iron Man
