I’ll throw this one out there as being as good of a candidate as any…




One is there "best overall" and most popular song, but I can't give it the "best metal song" title because of the "slow" and brooding intro....

Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
The fathers of metal with the first song on their first album. A masterpiece. At the Acid Bath show last week, over the PA with the lights down they played the entire song before Acid Bath ripped into their set.

I agree, but I think that song was very influential in the development of metal music.
