Thread Name: Most classic headbanging songs ever!
Subject: Most classic headbanging songs ever!
Attention! This is a music thread. But it's not about folk music. No indeed. It's about a completely different style of music, the kind of music that has enthralled generations of frustrated, pimply, horny, lonely adolescent males between 13 and twenty-something with its heavy beat, its bad attitude, its screeching guitar solos, and its raging vocals.

Yep. Headbanging songs. Heavy Rock, Acid Rock, Punk Rock, Progressive Rock, Electric Blues, Glamrock...all that stuff that parents hate and kids love, because it expressed their frustrations so brilliantly.

Simply contribute your favourite (or most hated) headbanging titles of all time. You don't have to like the stuff. I don't like much of it, but I do like some of it.

My first nomination is:

SMOKE ON THE WATER   (Deep Purple)

It has to rate as one of the most relentlessly dumb and memorable songs of its type. An auditory trip through brute stupidity that has few rivals.

My 2nd monination is:

YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHIN' YET   (B.T.O.)

I actually like it for some reason...good energy and enthusiasm.

Go to it, folks.
