Killing in the name of certainly deserves a mention.

Wait wait wait. You're gonna give props to Killing... and not Bombtrack? HERESY!!!

Other honourable mentions

Ace of Spades - Motorhead
Ever tried to drive sensibly while listening to this? It just ain't possible.

If you EVER list Motorhead as an honorable mention again, I will have your testicles in a jar by sundown.

Enter Sandman - Metallica
Say what you like about the bands stance against napster it's still one of the best heavy metal track's out there.

Enter Sandman?? There are WAY heavier Metallica tracks! What about the following brain-bashing tracks: Damage Inc., Seek and Destroy, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets (or at least the second half of MoP), Battery, Hit the Lights... Hell, even FUEL was heavier than Sandman! Come on, boy! Learn your MetallicA!!

Back in Black - AC/DC
Bacause I like it.

BACK IN F U C K I N G BLACK?!?! Heavy! Think HEAVY!!!

Have A Cigar - Foo Fighters version
Pink Floyd as heavy metal? Believe it.

AUGH!!!!!!!!! You get more and more frustrating by the instant!! FOO FIGHTERS?! I MIGHT give you Monkey Wrench, but beyond that, they're only slightly edgier than Nirvana, who IS NOT metal.

Kashmir - Led Zepplin
No further comment needed.

Great tune, but STILL not heavy. And again, if you EVER put Led Zep in the category of "honorable mention," I will personally see to it that someone slams your weiner in a sliding glass door.

I would say that Zeppelin do NOT qualify as heavy metal. I would say they served almost as a pre-curser to metal. They probably are the heaviest (and best) of the classic hard rock bands, but i would not say they are metal, though Kashmir comes close (as does dazed and confused after a fasion) too many of their songs arent metalish and those that are metalish are in the minority.

(I just to note am a rabid Zeppelin fan, and am greatly upset that i was born 25 years too late to properly enjoy them in concert)

I don't like biohazard. I had to kick many a neo-nazis ass at a biohazard show, once. It seems they attract the skinheads. Though I'm not sure why. But bad followings are marks of something evil in a band that I just don't know about.

You could say the exact same about slayer. At ozzfest, when slayer came out, all these enormous skin heads with really thick bodies appeared from nowhere and scared the living shit out of me.

I think it's just because biohazard are extremely aggressive and blatant with their hatred and contempt of fakes, and now fundies (thanks to 9/11) and they expect extreme loyalty, which neo nazi people feed off i would guess.

Biohazard are really nice guys though, and their music is easy some of the heaviest around. Similar to hatebreed.

I can't FUCKING believe that nobody's mentioned ManowaR. They did earn a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for "World's Loudest Band" after all...

I'd vote for "The Gods Made Heavy Metal." THAT is heavy.

In The Beginning There Was Silence And Darkness All Across The Earth
Then Came The Wind And A Hole In The Sky
Thunder And Lightening Came Crashing Down Hit The Earth And Split The Ground
Fire Burned High In The Sky

From Down Below Fire Melted The Stone
The Ground Shook And Started To Pound

The Gods Made Heavy Metal And They Saw That It Was Good
They Said To Play It Louder Than Hell We Promised That We Would
When Losers Say Its Over With You Know That It’s A Lie
The Gods Made Heavy Metal And It’s Never Gonna Die

We Are The True Believers It’s Our Turn To Show The World
In The Fire Of Heavy Metal We Were Burned
It’s More Than Our Religion It’s The Only Way To Live
But The Enemies Of Metal We Can’t Forgive

Cause We Believe In The Power And The Might
And The Gods Who Made Metal Are With Us Tonight

The Gods Made Heavy Metal And They Saw That It Was Good
They Said To Play It Louder Than Hell We Promised That We Would
When Losers Say Its Over With You Know That It’s A Lie
The Gods Made Heavy Metal And It’s Never Gonna Die

We Believe In The Power And The Might
And The Gods Who Made Metal Are With Us Tonight
We’re Here Tonight For Heavy Metal Are You Ready In The Hall
They Have Chosen Us And We Have Heard The Call
Gonna Tear The Roof Off With Our Sound Crack The Walls And Shake The Ground
Fight Tonight For Metal One And All

Cause We Believe In The Power And The Might
And The Gods Who Made Metal Are With Us Tonight

The Gods Made Heavy Metal And They Saw That It Was Good
They Said To Play It Louder Than Hell We Promised That We Would
When Losers Say Its Over With You Know That It’s A Lie
The Gods Made Heavy Metal And It’s Never Gonna Die

...Rage Against the Machine is supposed to be heavy?

You're kidding me. Hell, don't they refer to themselves as Renegades of Funk in a song?

For Metallica, Ride the Lightning, Damage Inc., Seek and Destroy, and Master of Puppets come to mind... They seem to be a bit more melancholy in their later albums.

My definition of nu-metal would be something like System of a Down, althought I think they're officially classified as Schizophrenic. Korn, Slipknot, etc are more of grudge... They don't call themselves metal do they?

I'd say that Rob Zombie has a great feel, but I can't really call it metal. I think psychodelic and cult would be a fairly accurate description.

Steve Conte's version of Rain. Heavy shit there.

I heard somewhere SOAD described as "disco metal" (might even have been me)i think that suits them perfectly.

As for rob zombie and pm5k, id consider them party metal, one of the sounds that i really get along with. Nobody's real but they're willing to let you know...

Rammstein....thier stage show is fucking amazing....they had a bunch of speakers rigged with charged and at one point smashed them with the mic stand setting off a huge explosion as the start to a track....not to mention all the fire....oh so much fire.....

I'd have to pick something by Manowar probably...."The Gods Made Heavy Metal" is a good one....though to be honest I tend to prefer something more like hmm....."Blood of the Kings" anyone here know the joke in the song?

Warriors of the World United is good too.

Cut throat - Sepultura
Spit - Sepultura
We'll Grind that Axe fora long time - Pantera
Creature of the Wheel - White Zombie
Shock - Fear Factory
any dying fetus song -_-
Dig - Mudvayne
Endangered Species - Sepultura
Mad Blast ( unknown ) but its redorkulasly heavy.

and for the most part, many of you haven't been naming many heavy things... with the exception of Morbid angel ( and some various others ) I dont think anything past 1979 or so was very heavy .... sure it was hard for its time, but even compared to Limp bizkit it was kinda weak. ( weak meaning ... limp would be heavier ... but not necessarily better) maybe i shouldn't of used Limp Dick as an example ... but thats hardly the point. I think things between the 1980-1999( stretching it ) era outblast most music from before or after said period. The thread is heavy... not good ... not innovative, not decent, just heavy.

Unfortunately, when you throw out any idea of quality...then you end up with a pissing contest between amps and loud noises.....something that sounds like a broken piece of construction machinery for example....

For Those About to Rock - AC/DC

Like Colin said, any song with fucking cannons in it...woo!

I'm particularly fond of Deicide's When Satan Rules His World.

Since they haven't even been friggin' MENTIONED yet...

Blind Guardian.

Personal Favorites:
Mordred's Song
Nightfall
Script for my Requiem
Born in Mourning Hall

I could go on, but you want heavy, isn't that right?

Bright Eyes
I'm Alive
Precious Jerusalem
Soulforged
And Then There Was Silence
The Script for my Requiem

I think that fits the bill rather well.

Most would note Blind Guardian for thier excellent melodic qualities....but...the thread starter said quality isnt one of the criteria for this...otherwise Blind Guardian would be my top choice.

i'm talking about sheer aggression within the confines of some kind of structure

True, but the lead singer of Blind Guardian has this wonderful gutteral singing scream that he can pull off which contains such excellent rage and hostility. Plus, the songs I've listed as heavy I do think meet the requirement nicely. I'd almost put Mordred's Song in there, just because I love the anger in the parts where "Mordred" is ranting.

I definitely think Ride the Lightning is harder. And come on... Dyers Eve is good, but MoP is WAY better.

I'm surprised that no one put any nu-metal transition bands on here. Kittie, for one. All the Canadians forgot those chicks, eh? Say what you will about them musically, but paperdoll was a fucking cool song.

Also, we totally forgot Opeth.

But of course, as we all know, Creed is the heaviest metal band to ever grace God's good earth.

That's true, I've something from the Demons and Wizards collaboration on right now....."Poor Man's Crusade".
