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.

Someone would play this whole album on the jukebox, at least once every night. Fantastic debut!
