Where's "Thunderkiss 65" by White Zombie? Where's Alice Cooper's "No More Mr. Nice Guy"?

crazy train

holy diver

I review Metal albums on my channel if anyone is interested

All of them

That whole album was just fantastic. By far Metallica's best

@@Sue_V Absolutely

Fucking amen brother.

Nah put some respect on Frantic

if you like instrumental, then should check out Joe Stump :D

Solid list, though I'd swap Dio with Slayer and Priest with Metallica.

Well thanks for spoiling it for the rest of us... give a warning next time man!

I'd put Painkiller above Master Of Puppets

I would put tallica on as first, idk why but black Sabbath aren't that heavy to me

@@thatsaysalotabout-man9547Sorry dude, but this list doesn't exist without Sabbath.

Best song ever made

Any "best metal song" list that doesn't have Hallowed Be Thy Name in the top 3 is crap.

@@ricknelson6405 Any "best metal song" list that doesn't have One in the top 2 is crap. But then .... tastes are diferent....

​@@archaicimmemorial6388one es malisima.

I don’t now how they prefer trooper black sabbath to that song man MoP and painkiller are TOP but hallowed be thy name is the GOAT

I'm more of a Fade to Black guy, but to pick Black Sabbath/Black Sabbath over War pigs or Paranoid is blasphemy.

"Master of Puppets" *should've been #1* instead of the title track to Black Sabbath's eponymous debut album!

@@coryjohnson8318 I'd suggest *Megadeth's version* of the song *"Paranoid."*

Nah. Master is way overrated. Metallica has a bunch of better songs.

@@coryjohnson8318 Or "Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath", my favorite song of theirs.

Ñ

I'd recommend *Faith No More's version* on *"The Real Thing" (1989)* instead.

fr sad war pigs wasnt even on the list

Something amazing man

I got into Black Sabbath in 1973 too young to see them in concert!

Number one Iron Maiden song for me too, although I get to "metal" a year earlier with "I Wanna Be Somebody" by WASP, "Heavens On Fire" by Kiss and "We're Not Gonna Take It" by Twisted Sister, with added "Balls To The Wall" by Accept and "Shout At The Devil" by Motley Crue from the previous year.

for me it was Bark at the Moon by Ozzy. Liked Maiden also.

Same here. I was 16 when I heard the opening riff on my radio and became a metalhead instantly.

Agreed. Pleasantly surprised.

Likewise. I clicked this thinking I'd be disappointed and subjected to a bunch of surface-level, barely-metal songs but this was legitimately a good and varied list.

Like W.A.S.P In even mentoin i was just hoping to see that

Solid list

☝ *"OBJECTION!"* ☝ - *Klavier Gavin,* "Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney" (2007; 2008 for Western releases). *(slams wall)* *Nien!* Black Sabbath's title track from their *eponymous debut album (1970)* *DOESN'T deserve* to be in the top spot! *Metallica's "Master of Puppets" (1986) should be #1* instead! *(slams wall)* *THAT'S real heavy metal!* -- Edit(s): • English translation: *"No!"*

Black Sabbath created Metal. Judas Priest perfected it.

We can thank Tony’s missing finger tips.

@@tntfreddan3138 no way in hell did Judas Priest perfect heavy metal. Are they a good band, yes. But that's it. Just good.

Agreed, but let's not forget Deep Purple.

Damn. I just started it. Black Sabbath isn't on this list?

Americans are so unjust with Power Metal, the only genre that continued the legacy of the 80s metal scene...

WE SHALL ARISE!

agree'd, but i would have picked propaganda over arise tho

Yes

I expected something way "safer" and more "mainstream" or "politically correct" out of the list - it was quite a nice surprise to see Sepultura, Slayer, Venom, King Diamond and Mercyful Fate, Motorhead on there: you'd be hard-pressed to find a better introduction to the more underground side of the metal spectrum! And, I was delighted by the unlikely choice of Warlock on this list - Warlock's lead singer Doro Pesche has been singing gritty, '80s style metal anthems and ballads perfectly straight and unironically without giving in to fads tor almost 40 years, even through those lean decades when old-school metal bands were cashing in, selling out, and hanging up their denim and leather to get real jobs because glam metal, thrash metal, groove metal, death and black metal, prog metal and djent, and all the other fads came and went, while grunge, alternative rock, and pop-punk all pretty much took metal's lunch through the ''90s. Even Sabbath, Maiden, Priest, and other evergreen traditional metal acts that managed to keep going over the years struggled to find a niche in the changing fortunes of metal, without adapting in ways that would leave them unrecognizable, while Doro just kept on going, doing what she seemed to love best for a very long and uninterrupted career, while almost nobody in the rock press and so on seemed to notice. Great to see her at her '80s best on a list like this alongside much better-known bands of the era, where she might find a younger audience!

Under a pale grey sky, we shall Arise... one of the best albums from the band.

Nah, *Metallica's* the best. 🤘🇺🇸☠🇺🇸🤘 -- Edit(s): • Not just Metallica, but also *Megadeth,* *Slayer,* *System of a Down,* *Pantera* (groove-metal era; 1990-2000), *Korn,* *Disturbed,* etc.; essentially, *_any American_** heavy-metal band.*

Damn right, brother! The Painkiller album is such a brilliant expression of metal in its purest form. I'm so thrilled that this was the first comment I saw as I've often felt that Painkiller is underappreciated by metalheads. Even some Priest fans give more love to British Steel - which is indisputably a monumental metal album - but Painkiller was Priest at the top of their game.

Should just play them Stained Class from front to back. That’ll do the trick.

@@sadboi7537 Beyond the Realms of Death is one of my top 3 favorite songs so I can support this

Right after that: The Book of Heavy Metal by Dream Evil. That is a Metal anthem if I've ever heard one.

Though you apparently *can* ignore The Beatles role in creating heavy metal - it was a little song called "Helter Skelter."

@@stone1andonly to be fair, there is also Led Zepplin who are rightfully at least the godparents of metal. Jimmy Page's guitar with Plants screams on Immigrant Song are the blueprint for metal. Throw in Dazed and Confused, Kashmir, and Moby DIck and you have Metals roots in one band.

@@raymondparisza5094 can’t forget communication breakdown on Led Zep 1

Queen invented thrash metal with the song stone cold crazy

yeah master of puppets is a good one

Headless Children was a great album 👍🏻

That's rude awakening, but my brother woke up to heavy metal in his teen and college years.

Ya! Back in the day I dated a girl from a "Christian" family. I'm a long haired Metal Head. Even worse than that to them, is that I'm Catholic. They hated me. Good Christians, right? Well push/shove, I showed girlfriend's parents the lyrics of Creeping Death. Further pointed out that the song is based on the Book of Exodus. They hated me even more after that. Good riddance.

@@curtisfranzen986 favorite tallica song bro haha funny ass story glad you got out of there dawg🤘🏾🔥

If you want just coffee, go to Duncan. They have a nice selection in several sizes. Plus, you can always grab a double chocolate as a treat for yourself.

🤘🏻🤘🏻

there is absolutely no way Sandman would have been on the list; commercially successful, but no where near Metallica's best!. Most of the tracks on Puppetz could have been taken really, if Master of Puppets didnt exist that is

Exodus finally getting some type of credit. Literally one of the most underrated thrash bands of all time.

Give some love to Overkill too. Those guys keeping true since forever.

@@alyssinwilliams4570 Also, Creeping Death should be considered. Damnit I'm going to have to listen to it now.

@@curtisfranzen986 I especially like the live version of it from Live Shit Binge & Purge, the mexico city concert. That whole concert is amazing

They are one of only a handful of bands that have a flawless discography. Every album is amazing. Not a stinker in the bunch.

You should check out Chuck's side project ''Control Denied''. The song ''Expect the Unexpected'' is a master piece.

Every album by Death is a masterpiece

@@ferchoromo7184 every chuck album*

@@sadboi7537 Honestly Death and BoltThrower are about the only two with a flawless discography i can think of

LOVE Cooper, but aside from Raise Your Fist And Yell and maybe Brutal Planet, he's more hard rock than metal.

Thanks!

Alice Cooper isn't heavy metal.

Alice cooper is more hard rock than metal. He’s a legend as well 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

@@luptoneous alice cooper may not be heavy metal but without him he helped metal music yes he may not be heavy metal but stil he needs respect and he helped inspire lots of bands we do have today what about dio i dont think dio is heavy metal i consider him to be more hard rock not heavy metal yet he was in black sabbath i dont hate dio but i dont think hes true heavy metal dio reminds me of alice cooper plus i prefer the orginial black sabath lineup with ozzy ward butler tony

Я тоже с тех лет слушаю Dio. А видел его на концерте в 2005 году

And Rhapsody.

WASP got an Honorable Mention towards the end. I do agree, they are underrated.

Flight of Icarus is stuck in my mind. Been listening to it constantly for 2 days now.

Flight of Icarus is good, Revelations is better

@@adrisheri0767 Nothing beats Paschendaele though. My God! That song is so well done! The storytelling, the detailed description of the battlefield, singing, drums, bassline and guitar solos all put so creatively across a 7 minute track. Very complex and entertaining. Very well done that one.

@@adrisheri0767 two things: 1: those are *MY* picks 2: Since, I assume, they limited every band on the list to one entry, every band I listed there could have as many as a dozen entries on the list, with no "wrong" answer.

@@kellywiebe646 Sorry that my answer sounded like I dont accept other oppinions but I only wanted to say that I perfer Revelations than Flight of Icarus

nope. In A gadda da vida predates Sabbath and is surely a metal song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@nikkiLee-hf6gx but it wasn't nearly as successful as this song

@@sicness0 so first doesnt count unless its more successful?? i thought being first was about, i dont know, being first??? lol

@@nikkiLee-hf6gx I clearly said the most important heavy metal song ever. Was your song any important at all?

@@sicness0 you ALSO clearly said, "You are right!!! Black Sabbath is unarguably what started it all." you are wrong and it is clearly arguable!!! As a fact In A Gadda Da Vida is MUCH more important. it has out sold Black Sabbath album out right. the entire black sabbath first album has sold 7.5 million in its life time. in a gadda da vida sold more than 10 milllion in 1968 alone, making it the biggest selling album OF ALL TIME at that point, and has sold over 30 million total. over 4 times BIGGER than black sabbath. looks like you were wrong on both points.

That’s genius!

Greatly under-appreciated band

@@thebadgerzoo true and later the basis for T.S.O.

it will not

@@jimbo9208 I stand corrected. While I might not agree with the whole list I was very surprised at their submissions.

@@selfdiscardedkingofruin7291 Yeah, I clicked on this and assumed it was going to be... some of the all time obvious ones that would be on a list like this, but then a bunch of crap to flesh it out. Overall it was a decent list although for more than a few entries I would have picked a different song and maybe more called it "TOP 20 METAL BANDS"

They truly belong there. Always said Ace of Spaces is one of the greatest Heavy Metal songs EVER.

You`re on the wrong train, dude! Read the topics first before writing! Its Metal not Gay L.A. Metal ranking here!

I cannot live! I cannot die! Tapped in Myself! Body, my holding cell! Landmine! Has taken my sight! Taken my speech! Taken my hearing! Taken my arms! Taken my legs! Taken my soul! Left me with life in Hell!

"One" of Metallica's best, but IMO (Welcome Home) Sanitarium is their absolute best song

@@cridgeway666 Sanatorium is so underrated

Creeping death is another one of mine outside The Black Album along with Fade to Black

@@cridgeway666 one of my top-5, though not #1 Im afraid. That whole damned album is insanely good

Agreed

Im not the biggest Rammstein fan (in that, I like them, but dont know them inside out), but Id put Sehnsucht above Du Hast

Thank you very much!

Absolutely agree

No question!!! Way more range. MOB RULES is my favorite definition of Heavy Metal. And DIO was a gracious kind and generous person. Got to live STARGAZER and MISTREATED also.

I love Sabbath, but saying they’re best because they’re first is really dumb, that’s like saying the first caveman to bang rocks together is the greatest musician ever, but sabbath is still one of the best

@@colincheshire6366 they inspired everyone after them so

@@Leatherface123. does that mean they're better tho? Not entirely. Just because someone created a genre doesn't mean they were the best at it. Ex Black Sabbath, but Judas Priest knew how to do better and therefore smashed them

Bro black Sabbath isn't heavy at all.

They had a big influence on metal yes but you can't leave out Led Zeppelin, The Beatles and Judas priest who shaped metal. And they're far from the best too.

Top 5, easily.

Not to mention that it shouldn't be called proto-Heavy Metal. It is arguably the song that created Heavy Metal. Black Sabbath, alright, but it was still a bit psychedelic hippie-style heavy rock before Dio came along.

I'm not going to say anything is wrong with including either "I Wanna Rock" or "We're Not Gonna Take It", but those are the songs that new metal fans of the era might have tuned into that album for out of curiosity, while "Burn in Hell" was the song we stayed for!
