I'm bored. I know it's hard to make a list but have a go you lazybones! Here's mine. Only rule is one song per band.

10. Virgin Steele - The Burning of Rome
09. Iced Earth - Stormrider
08. Megadeth - Symphony Of Destruction
07. Testament - Disciples of the Watch
06. Judas Priest - Painkiller
05. King Diamond - Welcome Home
04. Savatage - Hall of the Mountain King
03. Slayer - Angel of Death
02. Lost Horizon - Pure
01. Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name
 
In no particular order cause I am lazy... and maybe I can change my mind cause 10 is really hard, and I am stealing a couple from Fire
Breath.

1. Metallica - Master of Puppets
2. Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction
3. Sepultura - The Hunt (cover)
4. Paradise Lost - The Last Time (Although if I could I would put the whole DT album here)
5. Iron Maiden - Flight of Icarus
6. Black Sabbath - Paranoid
7. Testament - Alone in the Dark
8. Judas Priest - Painkiller
9. Helloween - Power (The best power metal song EVER from the magnificent Time of the Oath)
10. Motorhead - We are the Roadcrew
 
Lets give it a shot.

10. Voivod: Jack Luminous

9. Y&T: Forever

8. Metal Church: Badlands

7. Accept: Losing More Than You've Ever Had

6. Iron Maiden: Revelations

5. Raven: All For One

4. Rainbow: A Light In The Black

3. Grim Reaper: See You In Hell

2. Black Sabbath: Born Again

1. Judas Priest: Dreamer Deceiver / Deceiver
 
Some pretty cliche and "safe" picks here, but I guess that's what also makes the songs so great for a reason.

1. Metallica - Master of Puppets
2. Mercyful Fate - The Oath
3. Venom - Bloodlust
4. Black Sabbath - Paranoid
5. Judas Priest - Painkiller
6. Carcass - Incarnated Solvent Abuse
7. Angel Witch - Angel Witch
8. Dark Tranquillity - Punish My Heaven
9. Dissection - Where Dead Angels Lie
10. Entombed - Left Hand Path
 
Impossible task - Could only narrow it down to 11, but what the hell (in no particular order):

1. Iron Maiden - Killers
2. Manowar - Warriors of the World United
3. Judas Priest - Freewheel Burning
4. Saxon - The Eagle Has Landed
5. Venom - Buried Alive
6. Black Sabbath - Sign of the Southern Cross
7. Pagan's Mind - Through Osiris' Eyes
8. Motorhead - I'm So Bad Baby (I Don't Care)
9. Accept - Too High to Get It Right
10. Krokus - Screaming in the Night
11. Farm on a Freeway - Jethro Tull
 
Oh Boy...that is tough...in no particular order:

Ozzy -Flying High Again
Judas Priest - Painkiller
Iron Maiden - The Trooper
Mercyful Fate - Evil
Slayer - Angel of Death
Saxon - Denim & Leather
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Megadeth - Hangar 18
Fates Warning - Guardian
Led Zeppelin - Immingrant Song

Honorable Mention:
Piledriver - Metal Inquisition
Scorpions - I'm Leaving You
 
I'm the opposite of everyone in that I can't think of ten bands to even out the list since my metal habits begin and end with maybe three bands. But what the heck, three:

1. Metallica - The Outlaw Torn (because no one tells me what is or isn't metal)
2. Pantera - The Great Southern Trendkill
3. Megadeth - Hangar 18

Honestly, between those three I could pick a handful of songs that are on equal grounding.
 
In no particular order.

Black Sabbath-Into The Void
Iron Maiden-Rime Of The Ancient Mariner
Opeth- The Moor
Mercyful Fate- Satan's Fall
Iced Earth- Dante's Inferno
Enslaved-Midgards Eldar
Death-Perennial Quest
Blind Guardian-Valhalla
Agalloch-In The Shadow Of Our Pale Companion
Ulver-Hymn II: Of Wolf and the Devil
 
This is tough...so to make it easy for myself I just took my top 10 bands list and gave the song that made me love them in the first place. So probably the poppiest/safest picks from each one, but they were the first ones I've heard, that resulted in the tastes I have now.

Honorable Mention: Metallica-The Thing That Should Not Be
10. Wintersun-Death And The Healing
9. King Diamond-The Invisible Guests
8. Ayreon-Day Eleven: Love
7. Stratovarius-Legions
6. Overkill-Skullcrusher
5. Megadeth-Tornado Of Souls
4. Helloween-I Want Out
3. Gamma Ray-Beyond The Black Hole
2. Blind Guardian-The Last Candle
1. Iron Maiden-2 Minutes To Midnight
 
Order irrelevant:

Periphery - Racecar
Pantera - Cowboys from Hell
Dream Theater - Change of Seasons
Ayreon - The Two Gates
Circles - Responses
Tesseract - Eden
Fortiori - Sun
Lalu - Potboy: The Final Fantasy
Ihsahn - The Barren Lands
Jakub Żytecki - Euphoria!

I kinda took the desert island approach. Picking just 10 is a bitch.
