songs that make you want to headbang/dance

What are some songs that make you want to headbang if you're a rocker or a metalhead, or if you're not, what are some songs that just make you want to bust a move? This doesn't have to be an either/or question, you can answer both if you like.

Some songs that make me want to headbang:
Quiet Riot - Metal Health (pretty obvious why if you've heard it, lol)
Mystic Prophecy - Paranoid (kickass Black Sabbath cover, much heavier than the original)
Gamma Ray - Gardens of the Sinner (easy to headbang to)
Helloween - Murderer (nice and fast)
Gamma Ray - Send Me A Sign (another fast one with a good steady beat)
Pyramaze - Souls in Pain (heavy shiz)
Iced Earth - Screaming For Vengeance (heavier Judas Priest cover)

Those are the main ones off the top of my head...how about you guys?

I honestly never really gave this much thought. To be honest, I would probably have to go through all my music again to see if I can spot those head-bang songs.

Great topic though regardless

AC/DC, Dragonforce, Metalica, Velvet Revolver, Foo Fighters, Nickleback, Pearl Jam, and Fall of Troy I caught myself headbanging to.

And I can't dance worth my drawings...

Lots of music by Finntroll, actually, like "Skogens Hamnd," "Aldhissla" (they're best song imo), "Midnattens Widunder"

Lots of music by Acid Bath, like, "Toubabo koomi," "Jezebel," "Paegan Love Song"

The entire album. Around The Fur, by The Deftones is a pretty kickass album

That's all I can think of :\

You headbang to Finntroll? I always think of them as more "music to get drunk to" than of the headbanging variety. Great band regardless!

Well, I figure you can headbang to anything, essentially, just at a different tempo, based on the song's tempo, of course.

I guess that's true, but there's actually very little music I conciously headbang to. The feeling never really hits me much.

Lol, same here. I was just figuratively speaking, ya' know? But a lot of Finntroll's music either makes me want to, like, river dance (???) and/or headbang, lmao

River dance to Finntroll? LOL! That would be something I would almost be willing to pay money to see!

Anyway, i'm gonna go grab more rum...and then listen to Finntroll!

I forgot something - classic Anthrax. The albums with Joey Belladonna, and what I've heard of Fistful of Metal, you can't listen to without headbanging almost all the way through. It's like a spell, or something.

Also, Black Sabbath - TV Crimes. One of the very few Sabbath songs that's easy to headbang to.

Speaking of Black Sabbath, you may be able to headbang to Paranoid also!

A lot of the Ozzy years stuff was too slow for headbanging really.

Yeah, there's really nothing I can think of from the Ozzy years. Never Say Die is probably the closest thing, I guess. But the Dio years, there's TV Crimes, which I already said, Die Young, Turn Up The Night, Neon Knights, and, if you're feelin' it, Heaven and Hell. I like the dark themes and devilish music of the Ozzy years, but I think Dio turned up the speed and cranked the knob up to 11 and brought the band into the 80's style of heavy metal.

Dio is definitely one of the finest metal vocalists ever, and his work with Black Sabbath was absolutely excellent.

His solo stuff is great too.

I don't headbang. It's moronic in my opinion and I don't enjoy it.

"Soon" by My Bloody Valentine makes me want to dance more than any other song I've ever heard.
