1. No dying fetus 😢

2. Happy Helmet made the list

3. Nice so no old thrash to speak of 🙌🙌🙌 like Razor, Nuclear Assault, Coroner, Grim Reaper, Entombed, W.A.S.P. , Krokus , Dokken , Pentagram , oh what's the point.

4. Ya but Jesus Christ Pose is heavier than a few songs on here so what is grunge right ( industry bologna ) and who cares. Many early Soundgarden songs are heavy AF .

5. Lots of shit thats not metal

6. Suffocation, Death…

7. honestly? i agree with alot of the songs on the list dont get me wrong… but i feel like they couldve spread out ozzy's inclusion on the list a little more… while i believe all of those songs are amazing in their own rights… its just hard to justify him taking up that much space in the top 10… in the top 20? of course but not the top 10 i dont think personally speaking…

8. "Master of Puppets"and "Creeping Death" should be number one and two respectfully m/

9. Jethro Tull will be number one LOL 🤣🤣🤣

10. Rolling Stones like MTV now not very cool

11. My problems with the list aren't what's on it, it's what isn't on it, Blind Guardian, Helloween, Lamb of God, Kreator, Eluveitie, Nightwish, so many great bands that created songs that should be on this list. Those misses are kind of hard to ignore for me.

12. No Lamb Of God anywhere? Also Mudvayne Dig was a classic one. Drowning Pool "Bodies" was a pretty iconic song even though it wasn't one of my favs. Only 1 Pantera song? Only one Korn & Slipknot song? No Linkin Park(even though a lot of their stuff is more hard rock). No Hatebreed… Interesting list all around for sure.

13. BOOMER ADDITIONS:

    Albatross – COC
    Battery – Metallica
    NWO – Ministry
    In My Darkest Hour – Megadeth
    Dead Skin Mask – Slayer
    Practice What You Preach – Testament
    Slave to the Grind – Skid Row
    Welcome Home – King Diamond
    Cowboys From Hell – Pantera
    Painkiller – Judas Priest
    Aces High – Iron Maiden
    Wake Up Dead – Megadeth
    Indians – Anthrax
    The Beautiful People – Marilyn Manson
    Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap – AC/DC
    This Love – Pantera
    More Human Than Human – White Zombie
    Clean My Wounds – COC
    Outshined – Soundgarden
    Them Bones – AiC
    Surprise! You're Dead! – Faith No More
    Monkey Business – Skid Row
    I Wanna Be Somebody – WASP
    Heaven's On Fire – Kiss
    Live Wire – Motley Crue

14. Korn is way too low, pantera should be on here at least 3 times.

15. You know it's bad when the thumbnail are 2 rock bands

16. What? No Lamb Of God? F you Rolling Stones 🖕

17. Problems with this list too many Metallica songs, good band but so much better then enter sandman, they picked the most popular/singles for the artists it seemed rather then the best. Led Zeppelin AC/DC, ratt, Skid row, living colour, sound garden, van halen, aren't metal. Classic Bands snubbed. Sodom, Kreator, Destruction, Death Angel, Testament, Exodus, Metal Church, Saxon, Modern bands snubbed (2000s and up) lamb of god, municipal waste, warbringer, havok, revocation, bloodbath, Enforced. Obviously there isn't enough to include everyone but these lists always seem like the Oscar's and Grammys just thrown together, whatever was most popular and never actually thought out when it comes to originality and/or talent.

18. Its bad lol nuff said

19. Metallica One should have been first.

20. I have a 400 hour Playlist of all genres on Spotify. All fire no skips. Look up JD21 🔥 And Other Hits! Shuffle It!

21. Loved the video

22. PanterA's Cowboys From Hell should have been not only on that list but in the top 10.

23. Stupid list

24. Master of Puppets is a masterpiece

25. No power metal and no symphonic metal? Morbid Angel? King Diamond? Alice in Chains? DEATH?! Can't believe they didn't include any Death song… 🤦‍♂️

26. Lamb of God, Sleep Token and Ghost should be in there plus more Gojira.

27. Ratt in the top 20 😂😂😂

28. Shocked Slipknot only got one and that low…. Also, some of the songs are certainly not heavy metal….

29. That was amazing

30. 3 Metallica

31. 4 Ozzy

32. 3 times Slipknot

33. Has to be at least 4 I think four is a reasonable amount given how damn good they are
