Top Ten Questions About Metal Songs to Ask People

The Top Ten
1 Master of Puppets (Metallica) or Dante's Inferno (Iced Earth)

Both are great songs but I always go with the less popular song/band, so Dante's Inferno.

Both are legendary, but I choose Dante's Inferno.

Master of Puppets gets my vote

2 Stargazer (Rainbow) or Sacred Worlds (Blind Guardian)

I love Blind Guardian and I love Sacred Worlds. But without Rainbow and Stargazer, I doubt there would be a Blind Guardian. So Stargazer for the win.

I completely agree with IronSabbathPriest - I also love both bands and both songs but there wouldn't be Blind Guardian without Rainbow and the epicness of Stargazer.

3 Crazy Train (Ozzy Osbourne) or Holy Diver (Dio)

Holy Diver.
Crazy Train's got amazing guitars but the song as a whole sounds mainstream-ish and pop-ish, so Holy Diver.
Even non-metal fans know and like Crazy Train - I'm not surprised because I know that Crazy Train is catchier than a metal song should be.

Both from when their respective artists were at their highest.

Holy diver! It's more energetic and metallic

Crazy Train is the better song.

4 Paranoid (Black Sabbath) or Heaven and Hell (Black Sabbath)

Both completely different songs by the same band. If you're a fan of classic rock, then you'll like Paranoid more. I love both, but I choose Paranoid.

Paranoid by a country mile. However, Heaven in Hell is quite good and was a great comeback album.

I love both but I love metal more than classic rock - so Heaven and Hell.

5 Helter Skelter (The Beatles) or Highway Star (Deep Purple)

Highway Star all the way!

Highway Star any day

6 Ace of Spades (Motorhead) or Breaking the Law (Judas Priest)

I've got Breaking the Law on this one

Ace Of Spades. But I love both bands.

Both are short, enjoyable songs.

Ace of Spades takes this one.

7 Peace Sells (Megadeth) or Raining Blood (Slayer)

Even though I don't really like Slayer, that riff is just too good.

Raining Blood. It's just so epic

8 Walk (Pantera) or Arise (Sepultura)

Both have killer guitar riffs!

Arise by light years!

9 Octavarium (Dream Theater) or Blackwater Park (Opeth)

I love both songs so much! But Octavarium is my favourite song of all time.

Octavarium is the greatest song of all time, so Octavarium.

10 Futureal (Iron Maiden With Bruce Dickinson) or Futureal (Iron Maiden With Blaze Bayley)
The Contenders
11 The Beautiful People (Marilyn Manson) or Dragula (Rob Zombie)

Dragula. No disrespect to Manson, but Dragula is Zombie's masterpiece

12 The Beautiful People (Marilyn Manson) or Antichrist Superstar (Marilyn Manson)

Not even a contest. The Beautiful People. Easy

13 The Beautiful People (Marilyn Manson) or Raining Blood (Slayer)

Not much of a real contest. Do I need to say why?

14 Dead Skin Mask (Slayer) or Addicted to Vaginal Skin (Cannibal Corpse)
15 Dead Skin Mask (Slayer) or House of 1000 Corpses (Rob Zombie)
16 Holy Wars... the Punishment Due (Megadeth) or Holy Diver (Dio)
17 Holy Wars... the Punishment Due (Megadeth) or Master of Puppets (Metallica)
