What is the Greatest Hard Rock/ Metal Song Ever?

IMO the best metal song has to have a few rules.

Great guitar, screams, and undeniable intro, instantly recognizable
and lyrics that contain ethically questionable content.

War Pigs
  • 1970 Black Sabbath - Paranoid - Track 1
  • Hard to beat this one…

Running with The Devil
  • 1978 Van Halen - Van Halen - Track 1
  • I know Diamond Dave grew into a caricature of himself but in 1979 his voice and Eddie’s guitar work was ground breaking.

If you Want Blood (You Got It)
  • 1979 AC/DC - Highway to Hell - Track 8
  • Swan Song for Bon Scott

Seek and Destroy
  • 1983 Metallica – Kill’em All – Track 9
  • My personal favorite for this list.

Welcome to The Jungle
  • 1987 Guns-N-Roses – Appetite for Destruction – Track 1
  • Can you hear Axel scream? I still remember where I was the first time I heard this one.
