I'm a simple man; like I said, Twilight of the Gods is really good and I've more or less come around regarding black metal in general, but if you make me compare that and Turilli, I will vote for Turilli. I don't make the rules.

That Schenker track has better guitar (duh), but Long Way is probably the better song of the two. Besides, Schenker is very overrated. That said, for the instrumental part alone, I'm giving this vote to Assault Attack.

Lita Ford is another legend I've never been able to get into. Maybe because I'm not Iommi
So, you know, I've had my choice made beforeh---... oh, wait, I have never seen the video. What? Music? It's a music video? Oh, right. Music. We're talking about music. Not about the... other assets. Get it together, Judas, you dirty old cunt.
ANYWAY, there's a bit of a discrepancy here, since Lita sounds ... well, she sounds really kinda underage - maybe it's just the way she tries to sing the low notes; that has a bit of a teenage aura there - which certainly does not fit well with all the writhing and with the fact you could mishear the chorus as "kiss me Daddy", but as a whole it also kinda reminds me of ... Paramore? Really? I mean.... kinda... Not that that's a bad thing, I mean, I know you never meant to brag, but you got me where you want me now... what? Oh, music. Right. This is not metal. And for the hundredth time, I don't really care, it's forgettable, but kinda nice. A nice bit of 80s nostalgia.
Nightmare is - as of this date - still the only A7X song I genuinely like, the intro, the riff, the Portnoy. Sure, it fellates Metallica so hard you could actually see Hetfield's cock sticking out of M. Shadows' throat, but you say that like that's a bad thing, you plagiophobe. Still, the basic essence of the band is being annoying - just look at their stage names - so I'm only kinda halfway there, myself.
I'm really torn, I mean, dirty old men will be dirty old men, so I guess I'm going with Lita here and be herDaddy, oh deadly, yeah, right, I'll be her deadly.

I'm kinda worried that this is an uphill battle - Black Hole Sun is a radio staple and it probably justly reminds people of 1994, Superunknown, California, Blind Melon and heroin, but honestly, even without nominator's bias, I'd still vote for Swallow the Sun - not just am I currently 100% in the mood for some doomy dooms of doom, but the wistful atmosphere gets me every time. It wasn't among the first songs off the album that captivated me, but soon it became my dark horse of the record (somewhat akin to The Leper Affinity on BWP).
Also, like I said, the song being metal is not that important to me, but this is some prime-dog's-bollocks metal (oh, the tasty drumming!) over an okayish 90's alt-rock ballad. I like Soundgarden quite a lot, actually, but this is really no contest for me.

I'd be really inclined to go with the boomer choice here, but Priest's win is almost a given, so I'll give the vote to early Death - although I realise more and more that Schuldiner must be among my least favourite growlers in general, and not just the tortured shrieks on Perseverance, but also this dudebro-(lad-bloke?)-style regurgitating here. And hey, I'm fine with harsh vocals. But here for once, I'm gonna have to agree with Dustman Jer. Still voting for the song, it's awesome otherwise. And what kind of title is "Hell Bent for Leather" anyway? I feel way too kinky saying that out loud! And I've already said how I feel about old, kinky men. Now, "Choke on It", that's a nice, clean title that you can safely say without the risk of being misunderstood. Schuldiner was such a nice, proper lad, indeed!
