What is your favourite metal song?
-
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

The Hammer - Kublai Khan TX
Contraband - Make Them Suffer
The Migrant - Shadow of Intent
Die Alone - A Pale Horse Named Death (this one is for a sad day)
In The Name Of God - Rotting Christ
(literally anything, Garden of Earthly Delights is a good place to start) - Apocalypse Orchestra
Looking Down The Barrel of Today - Hatebreed
Bullet With A Name - Nonpoint
WAKE UP - The Browning (whole album is good, intro is a fucking headbanger)
Where The Things Have No Color - Destrage
The Orphan - Paleface Swiss
I have to go do stuff, but that should get you started.

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

That was one of the songs that introduced me to Metalcore. I remember making a mix with that, My Last Serenade, some Folly, and some Anah Aevia, a band I can't find anything by these days.
