Metal tracks that Non-Metallers enjoy

Metal is by and large a scorned genre outside of its fanbase. I'm looking for things like "Breaking The Law" by Judas Priest that, even though it is Metal is kinda guaranteed to get people jumping.

As a metaller, I think non-metallers should enjoy all of it! Come to the dark side! However for the "musician" types, I used to play things like Watchtower, Atheist and other technical metal stuff so they could hear metal bands with "chops" as they say. Punks would get the thrash stuff, much of which was thisclose to hardcore anyways. That sort of thing.

sorry, i was kind of thinking more along the lines of Metal Party Anthems.

I used to love 'One' and still think 'Enter:Sandman' is totally great.

"Girls Girls Girls"

Well, this is all pretty much canon, but:

"Ace Of Spades", Motorhead
"Run To The Hills" and "Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter", Iron Maiden
"Talk Dirty To Me", Poison (well, Hair Metal in general is well-liked amongst pop junkies at least, right?)
Black Sabbath in general innit.
Pretty much all Guns 'N' Roses!

"Master of Puppets"

Yeah, I made my friend like metal by playing him Master of Puppets. Now he says he thinks Metallica are better than Led Zeppelin.

Venom - In League With Satan

Anything by Slayer, mainly because everyone likes to do the devil-horns thing and say that they're into Slayer.

Now now, that's true -- but it's not because people "like to say they are into slayer" it's because slayer are the best metal band ever to live.

the slayer crossover tracks: Raining Blood, Angel of Death, Dead Skin Mask, Seasons in the Abyss, South of Heaven.

other metal tracks you'll hear from anyone: Motley Crue's too fast for love + shout at the devil, Ozzy's Crazy Train, and as said upthread: ace of spades.

Yeah "Ace of Spades" is awesome!

I've found that metal bands playing non-metal covers is a good ice breaker. I can't count how many times I've played Celtic Frost's "Mexican Radio" for people.

Faith No More are quite good for that sort of thing as well.

'Welcome Home' by King Diamond. i think that's a song everyone can enjoy, regardless of typical proclivities and tastes.
