ok so 13 :p

I know some of them might not be exactly "metal" but they are loosly based around the genre

these arent my favourite of all time, but are, at the moment, the songs i am listening too the most...thats why there is no metallica/motorhead/GNR etc etc
 
In no particular order:


Boston - More than a feeling
Led Zep - Battle of evermore
Lynyrd skynyrd - freebird
U2 - With or without you
Lacuna coil - The ghost woman and the hunter
Cream - Badge
The eagles - hotel california
Hendrix - Voodoo chile
Beatles - The fool on the hill
Blue oyster cult - dont fear the reaper
 
Some songs I've been loving recently:

Opeth - The Moor
Agalloch - Not Unlike the Waves
Tool - The Pot
Megadeth - Tornado of Souls
Man Must Die - A Lesson Once Learned
Katatonia - My Twin
Iron Maiden - The Evil that Men Do
Judas Priest - You Got Another Thing Comin'
At the Gates - Blinded by Fear
Enslaved - RUUN

-C
 
Aerosmith - Sweet Emotion
Whitesnake - Slip of The Tounge
Deep Purple - Burn
Hendrix - All Along The Watch Tower
Van Halen - 5150
Rush - Tom Sawyer
Dream Theater - Pull Me Under
Queensryche - Eyes of A Stranger
Yes - Hold On
Pain of Salvation - Inside

Sorta went classic rock --> prog rock/metal :)
 
Dream Thatre - Learning To Live
Tool - Schism

Surely gotta get a place on there somewhere.

Edit: Anything with Mike Portnoy pretty much sets my pants on fire.

Slightly OT but the Crimson Idol album by WASP is one of my all time favorite albums, yet everyone seems to slate it.
 
RoB- The Crimson Idol is definitely WASP's best IMHO - Bob Kulick on guitar is superb throughout and the songs have real meaning.

Sir, you have fine taste :D
 
metallica - one
pantera - walk
megadeth - blackmail the universe
killswitch engage - life to lifeless
soulfly - prophecy
sepultura - mind war
slayer - raining blood
american head charge - loyalty
system of a down - toxicity
iron maiden - powerslave

no particular order, and so many more to chose they're just off top of my head

2: Dire Straits - Money for Nothing
3: Bullet for my Valentine - 4 Words (I relate to it, dont ask)
4: Led Zeppelin - Dazed and Confused
5: Dire Straits - Telegraph Road
6: Iron Maiden - The Trooper
7: Motorhead - Ace of spades
8: Iron Maiden - Aces high
9: Pantera - Cowboys from hell

I think it is because all the songs tend to lead into one another. There are som many good tracks on that album - I am One, Hold on to my Heart and Arena of Pleasure IMHO right up there with The Idol.

The Headless Children is another superb album, though not a good or thought provoking as the Crimson Idol.

:D
