Greatest Hard Rock and Heavy Metal Songs

The Top Ten

1 Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin

One of the greatest hard rock songs of all time. At the end of the song it gets heavier. From the solo the song shows its most creativity and continues till end

2 Hallowed Be Thy Name - Iron Maiden

3 Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns N' Roses

4 Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple

5 Paranoid - Black Sabbath

Yes, it's a great HARD ROCK song!

6 Back in Black - AC/DC

7 Peace Sells - Megadeth

8 Baba O'Riley - The Who

9 The Trooper - Iron Maiden

Good song, but It's actually thrash metal. And thrash metal is different from heavy metal.

The Contenders

14 Light My Fire - The Doors
