Best Songs That Start a Rock/Metal Album

These songs were number one on the track list and really got us pumped!

The Top Ten

1 Enter Sandman - Metallica

2 Foreword/Don't Stay - Linkin Park

3 Remnants/Asylum - Disturbed

4 Aces High - Iron Maiden

5 Angel of Death - Slayer

6 Shepherd of Fire - Avenged Sevenfold

7 Painkiller - Judas Priest

8 Vicarious - Tool

9 Sacred Worlds - Blind Guardian

10 Soldier Side - System of a Down

Technically soldier side doesn't start the album. Soldier side - intro starts off Mezmerize, but soldier side doesn't start Hypnotize. They're different songs.

The Contenders

11 Battery - Metallica

Possibly my fave Metallica song

12 Bombtrack - Rage Against the Machine

13 Majesty - Blind Guardian

14 Rebellion In Dreamland - Gamma Ray

A true masterpiece

15 Crimson King - Demons & Wizards

16 Welcome to the Jungle - Guns N' Roses

There's songs on this list I like more, but this is the song on the list that best sets the scene for the rest of its album, which I think is important for an opening track.

17 Rawk on It - Tenafly Viper

18 Open Letter to God - Pitch Black Forecast

19 It's Not Too Late - A Killer's Confession

20 Million Miles an Hour - Nickelback

21 A Requiem for Tomorrow - Mushroomhead

22 12 Hundred - Mushroomhead

23 Our Apologies - Mushroomhead

24 Before I Die - Mushroomhead

25 Kill Tomorrow - Mushroomhead
