The Greatest Heavy Metal Comp of all time!

If someone asked you the question, "What is Heavy Metal?" What do you tell them? Pretend we are going to give this 2 disc set to a person who had no idea what Heavy Metal sounds like and just pick one song each. We can order them chronologically later as I don't want people to feel the need to pick something to fit a certain year. Plus I don't was us arguing a start date and genres

After a day of deliberation (between picking Maiden, Motorhead, Priest, Saxon, Accept, and Ozzy) I choose "Painkiller" to start us off.

The Mob Rules(Heavy Metal Soundtrack version)

The original power metal song, Rainbow - Kill the King.

Black Sabbath - Symptom Of The Universe

Black Sabbath- Heaven and Hell

Metallica - Seek & Destroy

Motley Crue...Live Wire

Accept--"Restless and Wild"

Metal Church - Watch The Children Pray

Iron Maiden - Run to the hills

Best possible opener. Any time from the early 90s through the early 2000s, any time someone asked me for a metal mix tape, it started with "Painkiller".

I'm going to throw in:

-Thin Lizzy- Emerald
-Judas Priest- Exciter
-Iron Maiden- Murders in the Rue Morgue

Metallica - For Whom the Bell Tolls

Y&T - Hang 'Em High

American Metal - Lizzy Borden.

Princess Of The Night - Saxon
Stayed Awake All Night - Krokus (an excellent cover!)

Scorpions...Animal Magnetism

I was gonna say Denim and Leather, but Chewie already has Saxon on there. So, I will go with:

W.A.S.P. - Animal

Riot - Swords & Tequila

I'd try my best to highlight the diversity within the genre. Which is difficult, lol.

Diamond Head - Sucking My Love
Queensryche - Queen of the Reich
Vicious Rumors - Ship of Fools
Candlemass - Solitude
Faith No More - Zombie Eaters
Slayer - Angel of Death
Morbid Angel - Maze of Torment
Death - The Philosopher

I probably listed way too many, and I could've listed so many more.

Emerald is my favorite Thin Lizzy song!
