Top 20 Definitive Rock/Metal Songs of all time
 

I'd love to know which songs everyone on this forum believes to be the 20 most definitive rock/metal songs of all time (meaning when you think of rock/metal music, which 20 songs represent that the most to you?).

I'm just curious because I'm more into Gothic/Symphonic metal and female-fronted groups but i'd like to start getting into the core of metal and rock music. Just gimme some recommendations! :D

(hopefully I put this in the right place... :afro:)
