Top ten greatest punk/hard rock/ metal songs of all time

[Gamma Male]

So, what do you consider to be the greatest punk rock and metal songs of all time? Here's my list, in no particular order. Oh, and to be fair I limited it to one song per band.

1 All along the watchtower - Jimmy Hendrix
2 War pigs -Black Sabbath
3 Killing in the name - Rage Against The Machine
4 The hand that feeds -Nine Inch Nails
5 Civil war -Guns and Roses
6 For whom the bell tolls -Metallica
7 Hypnotize -System Of A Down
8 Bad religion -Godsmack
9 Sweet Dreams -Marilyn Manson
10 Bullet with butterfly wings -The Smashing Pumpkins

Obviously these are just my opinions, so what do you guys think? Do your own lists. They don't even have to be metal songs, you can choose whatever genre you like.
