Best Rock and Metal Songs of All Time

The Top Ten
1 Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

Best song of all time. It's creative, has powerful lyrics and Freddie Mercury is the best singer of all time. Brian May has a great solo in it and I also consider this to have the best opening to any song. It is very original.

For me it's an amazing song even though it's not the "best" of all time. But it almost is! My favorite is Comfortably Numb.

Wrote by the amazing Freddie Mercury.

Freddie Mercury was a genius.

2 Master of Puppets - Metallica

Best by Metallica for sure. I will admit I like Iron Maiden better than Metallica but this song is a work of art.

3 Hallowed by Thy Name - Iron Maiden

A very good song that got me into metal music. Iron Maiden is truly talented.

4 Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd

There's no need to explain how amazing David Gilmour was in this.

5 Wheel of Time - Blind Guardian
6 Stargazer - Rainbow
7 Highway Star - Deep Purple
8 Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin

A song that gets too much credit but does that mean it's bad? No, of course not. It has a good sound and complexity, and also a great solo.

9 Highway to Hell - AC/DC

Another very catchy song with good lyrics. I love the solo and the vocals.

10 Bring Me to Life - Evanescence

I'm one of the few people who prefer this over My Immortal. in my opinion, this song had better lyrics and better vocals.

The Contenders
11 We Will Rock You - Queen

Probably the most catchy song ever, people should put this in those try not to sing challenges, I guarantee a lot of people would fail the challenge.

12 Hey Jude - The Beatles

Even though I think The Beatles get too much credit just like Led Zeppelin, this song is very good, Paul McCartney was a great singer.

13 The Final Countdown - Europe

Damn, this song is catchy. I really love the tune to it and I find myself humming it a lot.

14 Here I Go Again - Whitesnake
15 Hey You - Pink Floyd
16 Time - Pink Floyd
17 Sabbath Bloody Sabbath - Black Sabbath
18 Numb - Linkin Park
19 Burning Heart - Vandenberg
20 Round and Round - Ratt
21 Am I Evil? - Diamond Head
22 Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
23 Hells Bells - AC/DC

Now that's what you call true rock!

Now that's called rock!
