Limiting myself to one song per band...

Devin Townsend -

Aspid - Give Me (Play For a Ballet)

Annihilator - Ligeia

 

...well that was difficult.

[MVC NVMXD JVRXD 2,406]

I can't give you a definitive answer. My tastes in music (by music, I mean metal ) is always changing. What might be my favorite song one day could be a song I hate the next. Though that's not too likely, you get the point.

Anyway, list list list to satisfy you're sick needs.

Straws Pulled at Random - Meshuggah

To Forgive is to Suffer - Death

Hexagram - Deftones

Ow My Feelings - Periphery

Polyphony/The New Black - Strapping Young Lad

 

Though this is completely different than what it used to be..

 

Devin Townsend -

 

10/10, best song from Ocean Machine. It is so melodic, and Devy's voice is just awesome when he says "I love you more than I can say..." and all.

[DeiStar 248]

It's hard to come up with only five songs, so I will just put my favorite of all time:

 

 

Let It Be - The Beatles

 

 

The song that introduced me to them, and a real masterpiece.

[Lunalicious 223]

Give Up The Goods - Mobb Deep

 

Click Click - Mobb Deep

 

Street Struck - Big L

 

Hip Hop - Dead Prez

 

Propaganda - Dead Prez

 

Allllll hip-hop and rap. Old school too.

[Evilshy 5,090]

Goddammit, this is too hard >_<

 

Okay, I'll try my best. I too must limit myself to one song per artist.

Not really in order:

 

1. The Truth is in Here - Ayreon

2. In the Name of God - Dream Theater

3. Divine Wings of Tragedy - Symphony X

4. The Lotus Eater - Opeth

5. Mystery - Shadow Gallery, or perhaps Andromeda Strain, also by Shadow Gallery. Or maybe Another Me, by Epica. Or... Sorry, I just can't decide

 

Also, lol it's all progressive metal XD

[SrFrog 927]

Had to shuffle the order quite a bit, but this seems right.

 

1. Pink Floyd -

2. Jimi Hendrix- Purple Haze

3. Nortec Collective-

4. The Offspring-

5. Fleetwood Mac-

[PlunderSteed 1,252]

In no particular order, the songs that have had a strong impact on me for a long time:

 

Marilyn Manson - The Reflecting God (1996)

 

http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLRFcUeXCgU

 

Like many people, The Beautiful People was my first exposure to Manson. I was like "I'm 12 and what is this?!?" After a moment's reflection I decided "fuckin' amazing" was what it was. It was catchy, but when I picked up the album Antichrist Superstar, I found its closing tracks to be more visceral, profound and enduring. Seeing it live from the mosh pit is pretty much beyond words.

 

Metallica - No Leaf Clover (1999)

 

http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fd9ohpDDCRU

 

The symphony, the building sense of dread, the crowd...just an outstanding performance of an outstanding song. This would have been right at home on Master of Puppets; its theme is centered heavily around betrayal, miscalculation and the cost of hubris.

 

Johnny Cash - When the Man Comes Around (2002) (fair warning: video is very graphic)

 

www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtK-QCiD-FE&feature=endscreen

 

He wrote this song with the knowledge that his life was at an end. In a broader sense, this song captures in stark relief humanity's fascination with (and for many, an apparent yearning for) its own end. Although I don't share his interpretation of the "how" and the "why", I agree that it's one of the most important questions ever asked.
