    I've got to be the one to say that the eighties were the golden age for metal. Literally this video showed the evolution - Regual Metal, Punk influenced Metal, Thrash Metal, Death Metal. I wasn't even born in the eighties or nineties, but I got to say that music back there beats most mainstream music nowadays. It's even better than some modern metal songs (not all).

    Popped up in my feed, felt it was worth a view and some time. Thanks guys.
    Impossible category, as we all know. I was never a death/black metal fan so I'd have gone in a different direction for them. Using wiki for reference so apologies in advance for any errors, we know their track record.
    1981: Toughie for sure but I'll stick with the same release just swap over to the title track, Killers.
    1982: Jonny Z called Hallowed the perfect song. I am not gonna argue with him. However, it's maybe a dead heat between Children of the Damned & 22 Acacia Avenue. I cannot make a choice but either of the three would have gotten my vote.
    1983: Another incredibly hard year to judge I'm going to have to go with Queensryche, The Lady Wore Black but I'm not going to kill you for going with the guy I've always called the tiny man with the huge voice. Dio.
    1984: As the handle suggests, I am an incredibly biased Maiden fan so being my favorite song of all time, Rime of the Ancient Mariner takes that spot. But have to agree, Creeping Death is hard to top.
    1985: Hardest so far. With KISS (maybe not metal), Dokken, Anthrax, Kix, Overkill - among others, I am going to go with Medusa over In My Dreams by a nose.
    1986: Welcome Home (Sanitarium). Fave 'tallica tune so get's my vote here.
    1987: Think I am going with Whitesnake Still of the Night over a number of Anthrax tunes off Among the Living, Rock Soldiers or Into the Night by Frehley's Comet, something off Fighting the World by Manowar - wow, what a great record. Maybe Defender. Future World by Pretty Maids also in consideration.
    1988: Mindcrime came out that year. Gotta go with Eyes of a Stranger although there are others which could be inserted.
    1989: Skid Row, Youth Gone Wild. Again a fave from a fave.

    Raining Blood would’ve been better for 1986, in my opinion.

    I swear to God, if in the best songs of the 90s there won't be Arise or Dead Embryonic Cells by Sepultura, heads will roll

      The 80’s list did include Death and Morbid Angel so there is hope for Sepultura in the 90s

      What else could give Sepultura competition for that year?

    • @LurchyScott
      @LurchyScott 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      VietnamDO820 Most likely Enter Sandman. I think Sepultura will be 1993 or 1996 honestly.

      The lists are “greatest metal songs”, not most popular...that said, Enter Sandman could still very well win...I like that song, but Arise or Dead Embryonic Cells are both better

    what about other band's besides metallica, slayer and other thrash bands? or will your audience of the cargo short brigade cry about it not being "real metal"?

    1984 should be "The Sentinel"
    1986 should be "Master of puppets"

    Everyone freaking out about slayer over Metallica slayer created the thrash genre to me and influenced possessed the first death metal band

      It is well known that Metallica created trash metal.

    • @Top10Dylan

      Actually, Metallica created thrash basically. Seeing Metallica play live is what inspired Slayer to play faster and more aggressive.

    1986 is the hardest year to decide. Every band snapped.
