The 40 Greatest Metal Songs of All Time

I just saw this shit on VH1 the other day. Posted is the list with comments by yours truly.
40. "Breaking the Law" - Judas Priest Oh yeah, awesome song. 40 seems to early.
39. "I'm Eighteen" - Alice Cooper I guess here works.
38. "Balls to the Wall" - Accept Never heard.
37. "Smoke on the Water" - Deep Purple Now this should be way higher. The riff is the shit.
36. "Wait and Bleed" - Slipknot Never heard, but I´m sure it sucks.
35. "Metal Health" - Quiet Riot Bad hair metal. These fuckers could not write a song.
34. "Paranoid" - Black Sabbath Why not "War Pigs"?
33. "High 'n' Dry" - Def Leppard More pop metal.
32. "Thunder Kiss '65" - White Zombie Yeah! This is my shit.
31. "Rock You Like a Hurricane" - Scorpions Not really.
30. "Epic" - Faith No More This is a good choice.
29. "Caught in a Mosh" - Anthrax Anthrax´s best song.
28. "The Beautiful People" - Marilyn Manson Um yeah. Try again.
27. "Run to the Hills" - Iron Maiden Maiden rules of course, but I think they have better songs.
26. "Refuse/Resist" - Sepultura Sepultura´s best song, with the awesome chorus.
25. "Cowboys from Hell" - Pantera Pantera! Good stuff.
24. "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" - AC/DC If you do not like AC/DC you hate music.
23. "Freak on a Leash" - Korn Good video and all but, come on.
22. "Enter Sandman" - Metallica This one never did it for me like other Metallica songs. Oh well.
21. "Paradise City" - Guns N' Roses No thank you.
20. "I Wanna Rock" - Twisted Sister Maybe later.
19. "Man in the Box" - Alice in Chains Alice in Chains rules.
18. "Slave to the Grind" - Skid Row More hair metal, albeit this isn´t as bad.
17. "Live Wire" - Mötley Crüe And more hair metal.
16. "Walk" - Pantera Pantera again, although you have to question whether it´s really their best song.
15. "Bulls on Parade" - Rage Against the Machine I know RATM are probably poseurs and poseur all the way to the ATM, but man, the solo!
14. "Toxicity" - System of a Down Isn´t this a little too high? Come on now.
13. "Rainbow in the Dark" - Dio This song never did it for me. "Holy Diver", on the other hand...
12. "Bring the Noise" - Anthrax & Public Enemy Best rap-rock song ever. BASS!
11. "Peace Sells" - Megadeth MEGADETH! Peace Sells is totally my shit.
10. "Ace of Spades" - Motörhead AKA The Greatest Song Ever. 10 seems not good enough.
9. "Crazy Train" - Ozzy Osbourne How can you not like this song? You may hate Ozzy with a burning passion, but you still cannot hate this song.
8. "Raining Blood" - Slayer Why not "Angel of Death"? I mean, I guess this works too.
7. "The Number of the Beast" - Iron Maiden Can´t argue with this one. Awesome vocals too.
6. "Detroit Rock City" - KISS I understand the importance of KISS and all, but I don´t really like this song much.
5. "You've Got Another Thing Comin'" - Judas Priest Oh man. Awesome shit.
4. "Back in Black" - AC/DC AKA The Greatest Song of All Time. I guess 4 works though.
3. "Master of Puppets" - Metallica Awesome, awesome. But is it the best Metallica song? I would postulate that no.
2. "Welcome to the Jungle" - Guns N' Roses Probably GnR´s best song, although Axl Rose´s weird vocal quirks and habits irk me.
1. "Iron Man" - Black Sabbath I mean, what can I say? An all-time rock classic.

Okay. This list was really weird. It listed all sorts of alt-metal and hard rock but no Led Zeppelin? Also, tons of bullshit. I could do without all the hair metal and the nu-metal and whatever SOAD is. Also, I personally dont like GnR, but they´re giving them too much credit either way. My list, made quickly and with very little thought:

1. "Ace of Spades" - Motorhead
2. "Hallowed Be Thy Name" - Iron Maiden
3. "Iron Man" - Black Sabbath
4. "You've Got Another Thing Comin'" - Judas Priest
5. "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due" - Megadeth
6. "Crazy Train" - Ozzy Osbourne
7. "Battery" - Metallica
8. "The Trooper" - Iron Maiden
9. "Breaking the Law" - Judas Priest
10. "Angel of Death" - Slayer
11. "War Pigs" - Black Sabbath
12. "Peace Sells" - Megadeth
13. "The Number of the Beast" - Iron Maiden
14. "Bring the Noise" Public Enemy featuring Anthrax
15. "Cowboys from Hell" - Pantera
16. "Powerslave" - Iron Maiden
17. "Victim of Changes" - Judas Priest
18. "For Whom the Bell Tolls" - Metallica
19. "Bulls on Parade" - Rage Against the Machine
20. "Holy Diver" - Dio

And since I´m at it, best bands:
1. Iron Maiden
2. Black Sabbath
3. Judas Priest
4. Motorhead
5. Megadeth
6. Metallica
7. Slayer
8. Rage Against the Machine
9. Pantera
10. Ozzy Osbourne

However, there may be an opportunity to take AP courses at
another school or online during the regular school day.

The introduction of the Samsung chromebook into the marketplace signifies
a shift away from the traditional concept of a laptop where the devices itself stores all of the information that you require.
Properly, it has every little thing to try and do with on the web storage.

It's a very interesting concept where you have to balance objects perfectly on the field which are provided to you. Obviously, there may be some changes in the images produced by the pre and production run 5DIIIs. According to Chung, the Nikon has the edge for detail and for the addition of a crop mode while canon has the advantage for lack of moire and high ISO performance.
