Reflection, Third Eye, and Sober - Tool. Hell, almost everything Tool. It’s hard to choose.

Besides them, I’m not really a huge Metal fan. :slight_smile:

Caprese: Weezer, hard rock?! Please tell me that was some sick joke. :wink:

Forgot one…

Cherry Bomb by the Runaways.

Go listen to Hash Pipe and get back to me.
That song kicks butt.
Not talking about any other Weezer stuff.

War Child - Jethro Tull
Kashmir - Led Zeppelin
Wherever I May Roam & The Unforgiven** - Metallica
Back In Black & Hell’s Bells - AC/DC

Many, many more.

Oh,I could come up with loads of alternate lists, but…

In alpha order by band, and limiting myself to one song per band, my top ten list is:

“Girls Got Rhythm” by AC/DC
“Sick as a Dog” by Aerosmith
“Hole in the Sky” by Black Sabbath
“Stairway to the Stars” by Blue Oyster Cult
“Flight of the Rat” by Deep Purple
“Electric Eye” by Judas Priest
“Custard Pie” by Led Zeppelin
“No More Tears” by Ozzy Osbourne
“Kil the King” by Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow
"Come Along by Salty Dog

Pretty much anything by Sabbath or Megadeth. It’s tough to choose.

I could come up with hundreds. In the interest of bandwidth conservation, I’ll stick to twenty, in no particular order:

Balls to the Wall - Accept
Good Mourning/Black Friday - Megadeth
Godzilla - Blue Oyster Cult
Mother - Danzig
The Needle Lies - Queensryche
Ace of Spades - Motorhead
The Ballad of TV Violence (a/k/a The Ballad of Richard Speck) - Cheap Trick
Black No. 1 - Type O Negative
Barracuda - Heart
Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple
Paranoid - Black Sabbath
Am I Evil - Diamondhead
Live Wire - Motley Crue
It’s So Easy - Guns ‘N’ Roses
Detroit Rock City - KISS
Hell’s Bells - AC/DC
Lights Out - UFO
the Zoo - the Scorpions
Yeah, Right - Girlschool
Sheer Heart Attack - Queen

For shame, nowhere on this page do I see the name Pantera…shame shame shame. I would have to throw in Pantera’s Cemetary Gate for one of my all time fav. metal song

…marry me! I love this thread and I love your choices! :wink:

Right off the bat, I have to list “Sir Psycho Sexy” by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. (although they are hard to categorize as anything, I’ll take the plunge and call them “hard rock.”) Actually, any RHCP song pre-“One Hot Minute” is good, but again, might not be considered hard rock.

I have to agree with astorian about “No More Tears.” For the longest time I wanted to get Ozzy’s name tattooed across my fingers, like he does. Pretty much anything by Black Sabbath kicks the ass of anything out there today, but “Iron Man” and “War Pigs” stick out in my mind.

“Sweet Child O’ Mine” by Guns N’ Roses, if for nothing else than the opening guitar riff.

“One,” “Master of Puppets,” “Seek and Destroy,” and “Enter Sandman” by Metallica, and pretty much anything off “the black album” or before.

Living Dead Girl hit the nail on the head with her “anything by Tool” comment. (Oh man, I didn’t realize that I just made a horrible pun - “nail on the head” - Tool … Jeez…), but particularly “Sober” and “Prison Sex.”

And finally, “Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck” by Prong and “Walk” by Pantera are usually played on the radio one right after the other (it’s a rock-n-wrestling radio program and there are two wrestlers who use those as entrance music [for those who care or are curious, Justin Credible and Rob Van Dam, respectively]) and it could possibly be my favorite ten minutes of radio during the day

I know I’ll be back, cuz I know I’ll think of more, but I’m drawing a blank right now.

Stone Cold Crazy-Queen

Whoa, lotta good choices already mentioned. Here are some that haven’t.

War Pigs by Black Sabbath. The greatest heavy metal song of all time.
Photograph by Def Leppard. The greatest POP METAL song of all time.
Under a Glass Moon by Dream Theater. More in the progressive-metal vein but required listening none the less. If you’re too cheap to buy the album, download it from somewhere. :slight_smile:
Fuck Metallica.
The Last in Line by Dio.
A.I.R., Caught in a Mosh, Indians and Bring the Noise by Anthrax. (The last one is a cover of the Public Enemy song and single-handedly gave rise to rap-metal.)
Peace Sells by Megadeth.
Chaos A.D. by Sepultura.
Practice What You Preach by Testament.
Stinkfist by Tool (and just about everything else by them as well, as LDG said.)
N.W.O. by Ministry (ok it’s industrial but it still rocks…might as well add everything by Nine Inch Nails as well.)

JET

In general, I’m not a fan at all of either genre (unless you include punk under “hard rock”, which I don’t). My exceptions would be “Ace Of Spades” and “Killed By Death” by Motorhead (Actually, most anything by Motorhead) and “Got The Time” (Joe Jackson cover) by Anthrax.

Syko

And I have almost every Nirvana song as well. (RIP Napster) Multiple versions of the “official” songs, unreleased songs from live shows…

::Goes to listen to Moist Vagina::

Let me throw in a new name: Uriah Heep. Favorite songs: July morning and Easy living.

“Shots” - Neil Young
“Iron Man” & “Paranoid” - Black Sabbath
“Smells Like Teen Spirit” - Nirvana

How can I forget “Eye for an Eye” by one of my favorite bands, Soulfly? Can’t believe nobody has mentioned them yet. Actually, I can’t believe I forgot them myself.

Hardygrrl … how YOU doin’? :wink:
