Top 3 Songs By...

Happy 42th National Day! I've got nothing to talk about Singapore (other then it is a 'fine' country). But talk cock about my music. Heheh.

Top 3 Songs By Metal/Contemporary Hard Rock Bands

Source: www.digitaldreamdoor.com's Top 10 Songs By The Greatest Metal Artists

Most of the metal bands from digitaldreamdoor are non-underground/well-known. The list isn't really 'official' though, but I wanna give some comments...

I've picked 25 bands (my favourites, which I know at least 5 songs from them), and highlighted their top 3.

Arch Enemy
1. Silverwing
2. Heart Of Darkness
3. Dehumanization
Burning Angel lies at number 4.

Avenged Sevenfold
1. Bat Country
2. Beast And The Harlot
3. Seize the Day
Unholy Confessions is at number 4 while the infamous Chapter Four is at 6th. Also, their epic Sidewinder ranked 8th.


Black Sabbath
1. Paranoid
2. Black Sabbath
3. Iron Man
Hmm... Debatable.

Death
1. Zero Tolerance
2. Baptized In blood
3. Spirit Crusher
Still new listening to this awesome band. I would put To Forgive Is to Suffer and Scavenger of Human Sorrow at the top...

Deftones
1. Passenger
2. Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)
3. Change (In The House of Flies)
One of my personal alternative metal favourites.. Huh? Passenger? Gotta download and check it out.

Helloween
1. I Want Out
2. How Many Tears
3. Keepers Of The Seven Keys
The famous Halloween ranked at 9th placing. Some of my other favourites that SHOULD have been in the top 10: If I Could Fly, Heavy Metal (Is the Law), How Many Tears.


In Flames
1. Moonshield
2. Gyroscope
3. Clay Man
Wohoo! Clay Man is 3rd!! Only For The Weak appeared 6th. But, disappointingly one of their fine masterpiece Artifacts Of The Black Rain is ranked 8th. It deserves to be top 3!

Iron Maiden
1. Hallowed Be Thy Name
2. The Trooper
3. The Number Of The Beast
No comments. The above 3 are too predictable.

Judas Priest
1. You've Got Another Thing Coming
2. Breaking The Law
3. Beyond the Realms of Death
Hmm.. BTROF should have been the best ever from them.

Linkin Park
1. One Step Closer
2. Runaway
3. Crawling
Here you go LP fans... Somewhere I Belong is at number 7 while Numb at 8th. BAD NEWS: No KORN at digitaldreamdoor.com?? WTF. They're much bigger than LP in the Nu-metal field...


Megadeth
1. Holy Wars... Punishment Due
2. Peace Sells
3. Hangar 18
Followed by Symphony Of Destruction at 4th placing.

Metallica
1. Master of Puppets
2. One
3. Fade to Black
No comment.

Nightwish
1. Wishmaster
2. Beauty Of The Beast (Not to be confused with Beauty and the Beast)
3. Dead Boy's Poem
I've been a fan of this band for almost a year. But surprisingly, none of all the 10 top songs titles are heard by me! Here are MY top 3: Wish I Had an Angel, The Phantom of the Opera, Nemo.

Papa Roach
1. Last Resort
2. Scars
3. Getting Away With Murder
What?! Their pussy ballad Scars at second place?

Rage Against The Machine
1. Killing in the Name
2. Guerrilla Radio
3. Testify
The first placing is very predictable. Bulls On Parade is ranked 9th.

Rainbow
1. Stargazer
2. Kill The King
3. Long Live Rock 'n' Roll
Sadly, their vintage classic Temple Of King isn't at the list.

Scorpions
1. Rock You Like A Hurricane
2. No One Like You
3. Still Loving You
Wind Of Change is at number 5. My favourite Holiday isn't at the list!!


Shadows Fall
1. The Light That Binds
2. Eternity Is Within
3. To Ashes
The list must be updated, because my favourite In Effigy is not present at the list!

Slayer

2. War Ensemble
3. Hell Awaits
Followed by Raining Blood at 4th. Bloodline is ranked 10th.

Slipknot
1. Iowa
2. Opium Of The People
3. Killers Are Quiet
Where the f*ck is Wait And Bleed in the list?! And Before I Forget?

2. Twilight Symphony
3. Infinity
The famous Black Diamond is ranked at number 5.

System Of A Down
1. B.Y.O.B.
2. Chop Suey!

3. Intolerance
Tool is one of my personal favourites. Hmm...

Trivium
1. Pull Harder on the Strings of Your Martyr
2. A Gunshot To The Head of Trepidation

Like Light to the Flies at number 5.

Venom
1. At War With Satan
2. Witchin' Hour
3. Raise the Dead
