Of course, it was hard to narrow down 10 songs that fit in the list at the right place, and I'm bound to leave out so many great songs (sorry, Iron Maiden and Metallica) , but I'm quite happy with my choices. If they sold an album like this, I'd be listening to it 24/7

Some honorable mentions (i.e. other candidate songs):
Track 1: Dan Swanö | Moontower | Sun of the Night
Track 3: Slayer | Seasons in the Abyss | Spirit in Black / Immortal | At the Heart of Winter | Tragedies Blows At Horizon / Metallica | Ride the Lightning | For Whom The Bell Tolls
Track 5: Death | Spiritual Healing | Spiritual Healing
Track 10: Slayer | Seasons in the Abyss | Seasons in the Abyss

Good choices, and great idea for a list :thumbup:
My list would be this:

1. "Painkiller" - Painkiller - Judas Priest
2. "Holy Diver" - Holy Diver - Dio
3. "Child In Time" - In Rock - Deep Purple
4. "Chainsaw Charlie" - Crimson Idol - W.A.S.P.
5. "Stargazer" - Rising - Rainbow
6. "Kashmir" - Physical Graffiti - Led Zeppelin
7. "Creeping Death" - Ride The Lightning - Metallica
8. "Rime Of The Ancient Mariner" - Powerslave - Iron Maiden
9. "Hallowed Be Thy Name" - Number Of The Beast - Iron Maiden
10. "Raining Blood" - Reign In Blood - Slayer

9. "Hallowed Be Thy Name" - Number Of The Beast - Iron Maiden
10. "Raining Blood" - Reign In Blood - Slayer

Can't argue with those choices! Painkiller, Holy Diver, Stargazer, Creeping Death, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Hallowed Be Thy Name, and Raining Blood are all after all in my top 20 of all time!
But I love The Sentinel so much, Demon's Gate is so incredible, and Recharging the Void is such an epic conclusion... and I had to give some love to Bolt Thrower, Megadeth, Black Sabbath, Death, and Dissection! So that's why my list is the way it is

Interesting concept, I dig the idea.
If only including metal albums, mine would probably look something like that :
1. "Crimson" -Edge Of Sanity, Crimson (if it doesn't count I'll go with "Staring At The Stars To The Sound Of Trucks Revving In The Distance" by La Torture Des Ténèbres, IV - Memoirs Of A Machine Girl)
2. "Arntor, Ein Windir" -Windir, Arntor
3. "Nectar" -Opeth, Morningrise
4. "Silverwing" -Arch Enemy, Burning Bridges
5. "Don't Be Happy, Worry" -Carnival In Coal, French Cancan
6. "Beyond This Life" -Dream Theater, Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory
7. "In Devil's Arms" -Sigh, Hangman's Hymn: Musikalische Exequien
8. "How Could I" -Cynic, Focus
9. "Dancing Mad" -The Black Mages, The Black Mages
10. "Chapter V - The Hills Of Senyaan Pt. II" -Forgotten Silence, Senyaan

I love it, man!

2.Dissection - Night's Blood
3.Summoning - The Passing of the Grey Company
4.Morbid Angel - Maze of Torment
5.Opeth - Face of Melinda
6.Death - Voice of the Soul
7.Wintersun - Beautiful Death
8.Immolation - Close to a World Below
9.Meshuggah - Demiurge
10.Slayer - Raining Blood
