Doing this chronologically. I'll have some honorable mention songs that I double up on a post because I can choose, but I don't want to.
First song is Eminem - Without Me (2002).
Look, an honorable mention already!
The Johhny Cash - Hurt (2002)
But Johnny Cash - In My Life is also an amazing song as an HM.
This song opened up the world of metal to me. Odd timing that I really became familiar with Nightwish before Metallica but so it goes.
Nightwish - End of All Hope (2002)
This is my all-time favorite song. The first time I head this live was basically a religious experience.
Blind Guardian - The Bard's Song (In the Forest) (New Studio version) (2003)
Big fan of the Offspring and I listened to this song on repeat for a disturbingly long time.
The Offspring - Hit That (2003)
Get My Gun is almost worth an honorable mention here, but this song is way catchier.
D12 - My Band (2004)
Sabaton is super solid but this is probably their only song that can crack my top 20.
Sabaton - Primo Victoria (2005)
Chop Suey is maybe a better pick here, but @Swaye already shared that one and so I figured I'd give Radio Video some love since I probably listened to it equally as much.
System of a Down - Radio Video (2005)
Second of three Finnish metal bands that made my list. I think I have a problem.
Tarot - Howl (2006)
Third Finnish metal band. Sort of hate to do a cover but I just love this. I'll give Greek Fire an HM for your own good.
Turisas - Rasputin (2007)
Turisas - Greek Fire
Andy Samberg is awesome which is why I have listened to both of these songs way too much.
The Lonely Island - I'm on a Boat (2009)
Honorable Mention Captain Jack Sparrow
What a fucking weird song. But I like it.
Powerwolf - Werewolves of Armenia (2009)
I had to cap myself at only two Blind Guardian Songs.
Blind Guardian - Sacred Worlds (2010)
How timely.
Epic Rap Battles of History - Santa vs Moses (2012)
I'm just a sucker for hip thrusting and weird noises.
DJ Snake, Lil Jon - Turn Down for What (2013)
Just a great song.
Hozier - Take Me to Church (2013)
I guess also just a song I like a lot. A recurring theme here.
Peter Hollens - Song of the Lonely Mountain (2014)
I think this has been on three lists now. This was one of the best things to happen in the best 10 years to be fair.
Disturbed - The Sound of Silence (2015)
As someone with a kid now it is even more obvious how my parents made it easy to be a kid.
Twenty One Pilots - Stressed Out (2015)
You don't have to speak German to enjoy just listening to this.
Eisbrecher - Was Ist Hier Los (Die Krupps Remix) (2018)
