By eighties, I mean 1980-89. So no 70s Black Sabbath, early Judas
Priest and early Motorhead. Also, no Van Halen or KISS or 80s
Aerosmith, because all three are the holy trinity of suckage.
I am considering only the studio versions (not live versions)
These are my nominations (Note the song has to be recorded in the
80s!!!)
01) Hangar 18 - Megadeth
02) Raining Blood - Slayer
03) Orion - Metallica
04) The Number Of The Beast - Iron Maiden
05) Angel of Death - Slayer
06) Hallowed be Thy Name - Iron Maiden
07) Fade To Black - Metallica

wikipedia and put heavy metal in the search box. For me, heavy metal
is just hard rock with less blues and more distortion. The Satanic
themes, leather costumes and evil hand gestures are not mandatory.

You, sir, suck. None of these songs, regardless of their inherent quality, are by any means "metal". I'm sure I missed others in your sorry abortion of a list, but these ones stand out too much to be ignored.

90s, it did -- along with modern primitivism (tattoos and piercing).
Ministry and Nine Inch Nails set the pace for the genre in the 90s.
But I do prefer many their precursors from the 80s and even the late
70s -- SPK, Test Department, Einsturzende Neubauten, Laibach, Front
Line Assembly, So yes, within this genre, the 80s are superior to the
90s, but across the genres (which of course become less clearly
identifiable as you near the margins), the industrial genre, until its
death and transfiguration in the 90s, remains in my opinion wholly
preferable to the metal genre for any post-70s period.

The discussion of difference between hard rock and heavy metal has always been pointless.

Some say metal moved away from blues. And hard rock stayed with the blues. If that is the case, what the hell is Black Sabbath. How are they metal? Their debut was heavy blues. And Black Sabbath was heavily influenced by Led Zeppelin.

Warning - the last song from their debut.
This is from their website...
http://www.blacksabbath.com/history.html
"Black Sabbath recorded its self-titled first album in a single session in November 1969, setting up their gear in a small studio and running through their live set. The lack of frills and contrivance worked to advantage, as the group's riff-driven, *******blues-based hard rock******* came through loud and clear on "The Wizard," "N.I.B.," "Warning," and, of course, "Black Sabbath.""
I consider them not just blues based hard rock, but also progressive rock.
This is again from their website.
"Their lengthy songs had frequent meter changes, like the works of such peers as Jethro Tull (to which Iommi briefly belonged) and Yes (with whom Black Sabbath toured). There was ample room for improvisation, and Iommi, Butler and Ward were up to the task. In fact, Black Sabbath could swing with a jazzy temperament using bluesy forms and scales"

Then again the question is, what did they not botch. Ozzy's TV series
underlined what this band was all about: fried brains.

like an "am too, ..., am not" kinda guy. Even if you was one, you don't
want to look like one.

exact purpose.
In fact, to your unbeknownst, I was playing with English. Most civilised
languages make the 3rd singular and 3rd plural explicit, English does
not. So, to have at least some amusement, I decided to make it explicit.
It actually sounds pretty cool.

the English language made this boring nattering with you at least
somewhat less boring.

I have to say that I didn't listen to all the 80's metal during the 80's. I listened to what I listened to. My Ultimate 80's Metal Playlist goes like this:
1) The Hellion/Electric Eye: Judas Priest- TRULY the single most Metal moment in the entire 80's; while pretty much every song on Screaming For Vengeance is a classic.
2) Still of The Night: Whitesnake- This song has everything you'd want in 80's metal: Hair, Stripper chicks, quite unusual almost-prog song structure, cellos/guitar played with a bow, dripping with sexual references; you name it. The riffs in this song are just nuts. One of the all time best.
3) Battery: Metallica- This is the reference song in the entire Metallica canon. Nuff Said.
4) Solar Angels: Judas Priest- I love this song, the imagery and the fact that The Metal God was telling us he's gay are all in this song. It's monumental metal.
5) Desert Plains: Judas Priest- very bluesy Metal, almost a ballad, but isn't. Motorcycles and long distance love. A metal "Radar Love" with a similar 'motoring' feel to it. Atmosphere comes so much from the drums... it's a visual story you can follow easily, and it's almost tender in a way...man, this song is worth a ton to me.
6) 2112: Rush- There simply would be no prog metal without Rush, and this is their greatest ever song. If you don't think Rush is metal, you haven't heard the end of this song. As far as I'm concerned music, for me, started with Rush.
7) Prelude to Ruin: Fates Warning- Picking up the torch from Rush and Metallica, they found a spot in between by really thinking about their lyrical content, making it metal and making it mythical. The original songwriters still have prog metal chops 30 years later in Arch/Matheos. You can't argue with that. Having said that, the definitive Prelude To Ruin is done by Spiral Architect. Sorry, but I discovered them with that version of the song, which puts the original to shame, frankly.
8) Woodpecker From Mars: Faith No More- Awesome Middle Eastern themed metal instrumental. Groundbreaking and kicking serious ass. Opened my mind to bands of the future and metal instrumentals in general
9) Edge of The Blade: Journey- Sorry, but they are also prog metal for all the ballads they barfed up. It's angry and the guitars are top notch. Yeah, so there are some synths in there, I get it. Shut up.
10) Balls To The Wall: Accept- Awesome riff, armageddon-preaching almost communism by a really little dude with a massive voice. Summarizes the nuclear fear and angst of the 80's like no other song except:
11) Peace Sells But Who's Buying: Megadeth. This guy always seemed angrier than almost anyone else, and cynical to boot. It was a scary time to live, with the dumbest person in the world as the U.S. President; future Alheimer's patient. It's no wonder we were all terrified, and Metal told it to us straight.
12) Rock You Like A Hurricane: Scorpions- I loved, loved, loved this band. They seemed somehow happier or more well-adjusted than all the other metal bands out there. Still, they kicked holy ass.
13) Master of Puppets: Metallica- Even though I didn't listen to Metallica until the 1990's during the Black album days, this surely must be among the best anti-war songs ever.
14) Orion: Metallica- Kick ass instrumental. Too few of these actually exist and they had to have a good one to have my respect. If you can't make metal kick holy ass without singing, you simply aren't a metal band. Unless you're Spiral Architect.
15) Revolution Calling: Queensryche- The masterpiece. Nothing else left to say. My first look at the political/religious corruption I was wholly unaware of until this album.
16) The Lady Wore Black: Queensryche EP- I love this song. Sad and lamenting, but still metal. This Geoff Tate's voice and the lines "On a lonely walk this morning/A light mist in the air/Dark clouds laughing at me in silence/Casting shadows through my hair" So cool.
17) Live and Let Die: Guns N Roses- This remake of the classic Wings tune was a show of pure musicianship that these guys had, but also the taste they had as well. Too bad everyone became drug addicted narcissists in the band. I prefer this song to every other GnR tune for some reason.
18) Revelation (Mother Earth): Ozzy Osbourne/Randy Rhoads- reinforced the necessary classical guitar musicianship that a proper metal band must have. This song has everything: church bells ringing in time with metal guitar? Check. Haven't seen it done quite like that before or since. Pianos that sound like church organs? Check. A drug addict pleading for the salvation of the polluters of the world? Check. Also, cemented for me the pathos and hopefulness that only metal can really pull off. Plus, this song contains one of the best crescendos in metal history, leading into Steal Away The Night, which is a song about nothing but sex, which is more what I expect from Ozzy, but he was doing so well for a second there...
19) Still Loving You: Scorpions- I actually played this for a girl in high school who wanted to break up with me. I thought it was a touching song, but as I've grown older, I realize that he really just wants to get laid one more time; maybe that was on my mind, too.
20) Welcome To The Jungle: GnR- I don't like this song much now because of it's fairly horrible view of the world; but it's Tour de Force of sheer intensity that only Slash, Axl and a lot of drugs could produce. Sometimes, that's all you need to be great is the really push it into the next level. As we all know, it could only last so long.
21) The Zoo: Scorpions- Love the droning guitar, and swing of the tune. Restraint and metal go well together in just a few great songs, and this is one of them.
1) The Hellion/Electric Eye: Judas Priest- TRULY the single most Metal moment in the entire 80's; while pretty much every song on Screaming For Vengeance is a classic.
2) Still of The Night: Whitesnake- This song has everything you'd want in 80's metal: Hair, Stripper chicks, quite unusual almost-prog song structure, cellos/guitar played with a bow, dripping with sexual references; you name it. The riffs in this song are just nuts. One of the all time best.
