If you enjoy metal music that is.
For me?
Raining Blood by SLAYER. The drum intro, the vocals, the lyrics and so on. To me no song touches it. Even though I like Metallica a ton they aren't in my top 10 favs but I'll say Creeping Death is my number 2 and Hole in the Sky by Black Sabbath is number 3.

As someone who currently has over 4,000 metal songs saved in my iTunes, and who's favorites change like the weather in the midwest, I'm not even going to try. I might say 'Fear of the Dark' by Iron Maiden, but tomorrow I might say 'I' by Black Sabbath, or 'And Then There Was Silence' by Blind Guardian, or 'Runaway Train' by Avantasia... there's just too many for me to narrow down to a single GOAT.

I dunno man. Right this very second, I'm inclined to say "Angry Again" by Megadeth. I love that song. Several minutes from now I might think of something else. Tomorrow might be something totally different. We've had 3 tournaments on this very forum to determine the Best/Greatest Metal Song, with a different winner each time. Perhaps a fourth tournament is needed...

Well first we must define greatest. Greatest because it paved the way for the genre? Greatest as it represents the pinnacle of the genre? Greatest because it's the most accessible while still being true to the genre?
It's fun to think about no matter what.

Paschendale, Fear of the Dark or Hallowed Be Thy Name by Iron Maiden.
If it was live songs, Fear of the Dark. No question. Its amazing live.

If there's enough demand for a metal version I can do that.

Heck I can't even decide what the greatest Iron Maiden song is never mind the whole of the metal genre.
I do listen to Excalibur by Gravedigger quite a lot though.

Too diverse a genre to just say one song is objectively the best.

Such a tough question but I’ll answer with Holy Wars by Megadeth. Which is weird because they are my least favourite of the big 4.
Painkiller, Davidian & Ace Of Spades are all contenders too.

Probably something by Maiden. Probably one of their popular ones like Trooper

Regardless of genre, the answer to this question is always the Monster Mash.
