Since the collection of Heavy Metal albums and songs is inexhaustible, this is yet another one of those lists that are impossible to make without leaving out historic tracks!
How could we leave out the brilliant Bark At The Moon by Ozzy or Tom Sawyer , which opens the legendary "Moving Pictures" by Rush ? Or the songs from bands that helped found the movement in the 70s, like Black Dog , which opens "IV" by Led Zeppelin , or Highway Star , which opens "Machine Head" by Deep Purple ? And the legendary Cowboys From Hell by Pantera ?
In short... there are so many songs that it's impossible to make just one list.
So here we go: Listen to the songs in the playlist at the end of this post (sync it with your mobile device to listen wherever you want), watch the videos of the best songs that open an album according to the Wikimetal Power Trio, and most importantly:
