Top Ten Extreme Songs Before the 1980s
The Top Ten
1 Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell - The Stooges
It's heavier than any of the '70s punk rock songs for sure...
2 Children of the Grave - Black Sabbath
Those riffs makes earthquakes.
3 Kill the King - Rainbow
I think this song is pretty extreme - very aggressive, fast and loud, esp. when Dio screams " Oh, kill
Oh, kill".
4 Kick Out the Jams - Mc5
One of the songs that started it all...
5 Dissident Aggressor - Judas Priest
6 Highway Star - Deep Purple
One of the earliest speed metal songs with really heavy vocals by Ian Gillan.
7 I Got a Right - The Stooges
Raw hardcore punk from 1972 (released in 1977)
8 DemoliciĆ³n - Los Saicos
Not really extreme by today's standards, but extreme for 1964.
9 No Feelings - Sex Pistols
Really raw, wild & extreme punk rock
10 Damned Flame - Blast
The Contenders
11 Black Night - Deep Purple
The beginning riff is bluesy, but you can hear a thrashy riff under the lyrics. And the vocals are really agressive on this.
12 California Uber Alles - Dead Kennedys
Late '70s hardcore punk
13 Into the Void - Black Sabbath
14 Earthquake - Uli Jon Roth & Electric Sun
