Title: The 5 more influential Metal songs in your life
Post by: Siege on March 29, 2009, 01:30:17 AM
Well, I guess I have two sets of 5. The original set and the current one.

1- Metallica - Master Of Puppets
2- Metallica - To Live Is To Die
3- Slayer - South Of Heaven
4- Sepultura - Beneath The Remains
5- Megadeth - Countdown To Extinction

The new set is less heavy, I guess.

1- Bloodlined Calligraphy - Shall We Dance?
2- Arch Enemy - Dead Eyes See No Future
3- Boysetsfire - Release The Dogs
4- From Autumn To Ashes - Miligram Smile
5- Into Eternity - Sorrounded By Night

No idea, really. Blind Guardian's Mordred's Song tided me over during my military service; but overall I couldn't think from the top of my head of any metal songs that profoundly influenced me in any way.

I've never even heard of any of the new stuff on Seige's list. 

I like all the other stuff listed but none has really influenced me.

There are metal songs I like, but I don't think any have particularly influenced me.

Stairway to Heaven is great music, but I always failed to understand the lyrics.
It sounds like some medieval celtic thing.

I really hate Kiss, especially that song.

I always liked Ted.

I don't know that any metal song has actually influenced my life, be I guess my favorites, in no particular order, would be:

Black Sabbath:  Paranoid
AC/DC:  Highway to Hell
Deep Purple:  Knockin' at Your Backdoor
AC/DC:  T.N.T.
Led Zeppelin:  Hey Hey What Can I Do

The day I heard my first Dream Theater album for the first time (Images and Words) changed my musical life. Metal for musicians.

The only heavy metal song which influenced my life was Paranoid by Sabbath, and that's because it resulted in a split lip and cracked tooth.

I don't do metal. I was in school in pre-emo days; the kids that would today be emos were the metal fans.

Mostly. Freakin' awful is what Arch Enemy is. I only made it halfway through "Nemesis" before I had to turn it off so I could stop laughing and breathe.

since Lester Bangs lifted from Burroughs and broke the damn term of the genre in  music criticism, I'm gonna accept his definition (yes, that means I also think Marx was a Marxist and Christ was a Christian, despite whatever else they were). His metal includes what is now known as "hard rock."

Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple
Walk this Way by Aerosmith
Lord of Light by Hawkwind
Stonehedge by Spinal Tap
Rock and Roll All Night by Kiss

Surprisingly, no LZ. but that's because I like LZ III the most, which has a bunchofotherthings going on there.

Indeed. I agonized for a bit over including Astronomy, but figured that since Metallica's take is more commonly associated with it than Blue Oyster Cult's, it was probably safe.
BTW, nice to see a Hawkwind entry in there. :thumbsup:

Yeah, but they have 2 songs that are great, Dead Eyes See No Future and We Will Rise.
These thread was about songs, not bands or albums.
Its very rare for me to actually like a full album.
Last album I loved from start to finish was And Justice For All, way back, in '88.

Emo and modern metal are pretty similar.  They both attract whiny bitches.
