We now come to the #1 song of this countdown, and the reasons why are various. It’s still being played today (both by radio and the band who wrote it), has influenced so many rock musicians, impacted pop culture from movies to wrestling, is considered one of the best heavy metal and hard rock songs of all time, and helped establish this band as one of the premier stadium rock acts if not the kings of American heavy metal. The #1 song turning 30 years old this year is Enter Sandman by Metallica.
