Heaviest Songs by Year (1965 - 1975)

- YEAR 1969 - MISTAKE - song name is DISTORTIONS OF DARKNESS
PLASTIC THUNDER - The pick for 1967 is off. Subsequent information has shown single by Bitter Creek to be from 1970. I suggest The Beaver Patrol - ESP from 1967 as replacement for this list.
Note: this is just my list, your opinion can be different than mine. I was mostly focusing on mildly obscure songs, so no Sabbath or Zeppelin should be expected.

imagine people from the early to mid 1900s and below listening to the heavy stuff we have now
They'd light us on fire
Just them listening to the heavy stuff from the 60s would give them a panic attack
No
@@GorbyP ok sorry
@@bodeb828 it's ok, this time.... don't let it happen again
Bedemon released 1974 and sounds like a 90s doom band. Even the cover art seems cutting edge
Heavy af
Its because its pretty much the band pentagram but with a different name
Plastic thunder sounded almost 30 years ahead of it's time woah
Ikr
Imagine if Nirvana covered that song, or the one after it.
60s Psych may have been an influence on 90s grunge.
@@chrisrj9871
I don't like grunge that much. But it sounds very similar to psychedelia.
Nah. They were just biting a lot of stuff around that time. Most 90s alternative was, ironically, driven by early pop elements.
It's weird because it's like Steppenwolf but the guitarist traveled to the future to steal Buzz Osbourne's guitar and pedals
If you told me "it's a 00's stoner rock compilation" I would believe you.
I'm so glad Bedemon was on this list.
unavoidable
1954 - "Space Guitar", Johnny Watson
1955 - "Maybelline", Chuck Berry
1956 - "The Train Kept A-Rollin'", Johnny Burnette
1957 - "Susie-Q", Dale Hawkins
1958 - "Rumble", Link Wray
1959 - "Somethin' Else", Eddie Cochran
1962 - "Miserlou", Dick Dale
1963 - "The Girl Can't Dance", Bunker Hill
1964 - "You Really Got Me", The Kinks
I LOVE the songs in 1968 and 1971, my all time heavy favs
Glad to see Blue Cheer on here. I think they were the first metal band through and through. Just listen to their version of Summertime blues
Bedemon's "Child Of Darkness" was actually recorded in early 1973 according to their own website. They also recorded "Serpent Venom" and "Frozen Fear" on the same day.
The Internet wasn't even around in the '70s
Everything on here blew my brains out my head
I think Boss Hoss is heavier than the cover of Louie Louie, nice list
Super interesting video, although you’ll never convince me that your 1970 pick is heavier than Black Sabbath or War Pigs.
his excuse is that it's too mainstream but that should have zero to do with a list about heaviness. it's not a list about underground-ness
@@infall_blackmetal I think it's perfectly fine reasoning, to want to introduce people to lesser known heavy nuggets. No one ever disputed sabbath's heavines, but in my opinion including them would make the list too bland and ordinary, since everybody knows about their self-titled track or war pigs.
@@45overdrive yeah but it still doesnt make sense to ignore it in the video when they influenced the entirety of metal. they where the #1 reason for bands like bedemon that you included in the video.
it's fair to say that it's a good way to expose people to lesser known heavy music from the earliest stages of metal, but that wasnt the purpose of the video as far as I could tell.
popularity doesnt have anything to do with heaviness, which is why its extremely confusing why sabbath wasnt picked for 1970/1971.
it was still a good video nonetheless, but still confusing.
@@45overdrive That's a dumb reason not to put them in by the criteria of "heavyness".
Try "Speed King" by Deep Purple.
Love blue cheer
Should've had Iron Claw - Skullcrusher on here. That song was heavy in 1970.
omg that song was savage.....ty (im still recovering)
@@Mantwawn Listen to Pentagram - Cartwheel. Also from 1970.
Crossrocker is also very heavy
@@firedragon7456 True
blue cheer!!!
i would've used night sun for 1972.. also jpt scare band is super epic
Caledonia by Cro-Magnon is heavy and released in 69’
No its not. Its just noisier
@@Aqua.man045 What about Cromagnon - First World of Bronze.
1970 should be Black Sabbaths self titled song.
SUNN amps started in the Northwest by the bass player from the Kingsmen, and they were America's only serious rival to the UK's Marshall amps in the mid-60s. I would imagine that was what the Sonics were playing through on the first song, as they were also from the Northwest of America. Then the MC5 started using them
Missing Sir Lord Baltimore, Yesterday Children, High Tide
Plastic Thunder sounds straight out of Nirvana's Bleach...I guess it's the other way around huh. Cool song, had never heard of it before. They sound like a fuzzier and heavier 13th floor elevators. The Sonics' cover changed a couple of chords and they made that song sound waaaay heavier, I prefer these chords changes over the original ones. She's got eyes is another that surprised me, the only thing comparable that year would have been Cream.
If you need one for '62, I'd say Misirlou by Dick Dale.
Good one!
No sabbath?
The idea is to have obscurities represented, as I stated in description :)
Outside inside is a go to rainy day smoke up vinyl for me got an original press
The Yardbirds For Your Love 1963
I feel like helter skelter was the heaviest song of 68
Or I’m alive by Johnny thunder
Or sister ray by the velvet underground
You forgot Skull Crusher, Iron Claw. I think 1971?
1970.
Where's Futilist's Lament by High Tide?
Distortions of darkness are heavier
Cool list
I know it's based on obscurities, just asking, if you would include non-obscure songs either, would there be any difference in the list?
I guess there would be some, mostly towards the 70s. I would keep the 60s the same
Yeah because Black Sabbath did some heavy stuff in the 70s and Judas Priest was starting in the mid 70s sooo
@@waltuh11121 sin after sin is really the only judas priest song worth mentioning. but still not the heaviest song that year
Helter skeltor was 1968
For me Blue Cheer invented heavy metal music!!!
Far out dude
This is what i say too. For me the first hard rock band was the kinks. But the first heavy metal band is definitely blue cheer. Sabbath just happened to be more famous.
Kingdom Come by Sir Lord Baltimore?
Love the addition of Buffalo, though I def feel like Sabbath deserves a nod or two with their first 3 albums
parts of plastic thunder sounds like proto nirvana. even the voice
The Musical Box by Genesis could perfectly be here
wheres helter stelker
Blue Cheer had a wall of amps way before anybody else oh yeah Cheer's summertime blues smokes.
I found out that The JPT Scare Band - King Rat was recorded in 1976 (they mentioned it somewhere in the liner notes) and not in 1975 as well. Although, yes, it all has been released in 1990s.
I did put c. before they year as in circa, since I wasn't able to verify the year of recording at the time of making the video, and I felt like king rat just had to be included.
@@45overdrive I understand it and saw that "circa".
By the way, it was your video that helped me to find every piece of music but the very first one (I knew neither of the 10 remaining ones, but learned and added every piece of them in my playlist, I listen to Shylock and King Rat the most). Too bad that Bedemon, Bitter Creek and He and the Others are not in the music library I use for it.
I wonder what if I or somebody else does a bigger list of proto-metal he personally likes in the format of video like yours. I have lots of things to add - Sir Lord Baltimore, High Tide, Sudden Death, Iron Claw, Crime (not quite metal and rather punk, but still), Clear Light, Captain Beefheart, Budgue, Dust, the United States of America, possibly Andromeda, as well as much more known Beatles, Velvet Underground, Deep Purple, Who, Black Sabbath, Motorhead/Hawkwind, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, King Crimson, MC5, Queen, Stooges, Arthur Brown.
@@redraven3769 that is very nice to hear, it was the whole idea behind the video :)
I think that if you decide to expand on this list, it would make for a terrific video! You should totally try and do it. I preffered the shorter format of 1 song per year but expanding on it would make for a great video.
@@45overdrive I tried to do at least some research. Currently I found only 3 songs from 1950's I personally would pick and would consider rather "proto-metal" than "proto-hard", would it be for "riffing", or especially heavy sound:
James Cotton - Cotton Crop Blues (1954)
C'mon Everybody - Eddie Cochran (1958)
Kid Thomas - Rockin' This Joint Tonight (1959) - actually way too speedy and heavy for 1950's, sound like it's predating stuff from 1968-1969.
Then Misirlou (1962) and already The Who - The Ox (1965). Sadly, too many song names produced before 1965 I've found listed as "proto-metal" seem to be rather proto-hard or proto-punk than proto-metal. That includes The Kinks, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Screaming Lord Sutch, Chuck Berry's music I've checked, Howling Wolf, Phantom - Love Me, Link Wray - Rumble.
Sadly didn't found anything so far before 1954, thought there are lots of hard songs like Roy Brown - Butcher Pete (1949) and Billie Holiday - What A Night, What A Moon, What A Girl (1935). They rather just don't sound enough "metal". But sill much closer to my own definition of "metal" than lots of 1950s and 1960s stuff I've listened. Hope that some blues or jazz tunes from that era would be just what I'm searching for.
But among 90 songs I've found so far (my playlist of heavy metal and proto-metal before 1980 and NWOBHM style of making metal) it was both weird and pleasing to find Kid Thomas - Rockin' This Joint Tonight, Consumers - Anti, Anti, Anti, and Johnny Pate - You're Starting Too Fast.
@@45overdrive I also found out that Sonics - Louie Louie was from 1966 and not 1965 as it's on your video. Because it's from their second album from 1966, not from the first from 1965.
Please, make a note about this and King Rat date of 1976 instead of 1975. I have however a good "replacement" for 1965: The Betterdays - Honey What's Wrong was from February 1965.
dude make more videos like this
Heaviest song of 1968 has to be The Velvet Underground's "Sister Ray"
Bit disappointed “Plastic Shotgun” by Night sun isn’t here.
And “Electronic Insides and Metal Complexion, Make up Herr Dr. Krieg”
By Riders of The Mark
Great list anyway
You should check out the 1972 self-titled album from the band called Bang
What about Black Sabbath? They been around since 1970.
it seems Plastic Thunder was released in 1970 not 1967
For ‘71 I would have put Into the void by Sabbath.
A bit too mainstream for this list :)
@@45overdrive mainstreamism shouldnt have anything to do with it.they created what is technically considered the first metal track and was the heaviest band in history at that point.
@@45overdrive Black Sabbath's songs are not mainstream, they're just super popular because the band helped shape heavy metal which grew its' roots. If they were mainstream then they would be doing stuff like blues or psychedelic rock that isn't as heavy as Sabbath's album 'Paranoid' was. While there is inspiration off of those they were mostly thinking outside the box. That's what made them famous. The same can be said with Eddie Van Halen and Yngwie Malmsteen: they weren't mainstream, they were original in their art of music. I do get your approach for the video: you wanna show lesser-known songs that were well written for its' time, but you're using 'mainstream' incorrectly. Mainstream is basically following a trend that can make you popular, but you're not being original.
Heaviest song in 1968 is Helter Skelter
The Attack - Strange House (1968): ua-cam.com/video/nw-eSWvar24/v-deo.htmlsi=AHn36aJTDsAiVElG
mc5?
That 31 flavors song...
Where's "I'VE GOT BLISTERS ON ME FINGERS"
0:51 reminds me a lot of nirvana. Damn. In 67
Plastic Thunder sounds like they started Grunge in the 60s.. sounds like Nirvana basically
OMG, Bedemon is almost Celtic Frost!
Check out Snakebite by Stone Axe. I found that song and replayed it at least 5 times. I like it much better than Slave of Fear.
Helter Skelter?
Not obscure enough for this list!
45overdrive but yes heavy enough
@@matiassalinas4353 no
Hombre ruso de 40 años si
@@matiassalinas4353 amigo, la canción que apareció es mil veces más pesada que helter skelter, pero los fans de los beatles insisten en que ellos crearon el metal y bla bla bla, por supuesto que influyeron en su desarrollo de manera indirecta, pero para el tiempo de helter skelter ya habían cientos de canciones mas pesadas
MAD fucking respect for putting shylock here. heaviest fucking proto-metal song ive ever heard
Man, I could fill this list with The Who!
Hah, too mainstream for this list
and black sabbth
No Arthur Brown, Fire?
No Beefheart, Drop Out Boogie?
Too many ideas for a short list :)
CHIDO ONE!
💥 *@bodeb828--- IF PEOPLE LIVING IN THE MID TO EARLY 1900S AND BACK BEFORE THEN COULD SOMEHOW HEAR THIS SUDDENLY... AND NOT TO MENTION THE HEAVIEST MUSIC THAT'S BEEN MADE BETWEEN THE 70S AND NOW....MANY OF THEM WOULD PROBABLY SAY SOMETHING LIKE "THE POWER OF THE DEVIL ITSELF HAS FINALLY COME DOWN TO EARTH!"*
🌍🌎😮😱🥳
What about Iggy and the stooges I wanna be your dog
Too well known for this list!
@@45overdrive still it was one of the heaviest songs in the 60s
@@Ra-wz8wd no doubt about that
Should've put Jacula for 1969 its practically proto black metal
Honorable mentions; the Who the Ox 1965 ; thats as heavy as it gets, the Beatles it won't be long riff , anything by the Kinks or Music machine
Sabbath would easily have the heaviest song of any given year in the 70s probably to about 78.
The song by the 31 flavors is actually called distortions of darkness, not come and get it
Corrected in the description :)
1969 would be I Want You She's So Heavy by The Beatles
What about Queen's "son and daughter" or "modern times rock n' roll" on 1973?
They sound like a blend of Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, and I would argue that the stuff they made was heavier
@@westter8164 but the songs ln this video are not heavier than Sabbath or zep
@@hombrerusode40anos72 well that's not my fault
@@westter8164 and who is saying that?, I was talking to the guy who made the video
@@hombrerusode40anos72 what, you replied to me that neither Zeppelin or Sabbath weren't in the video and I said it wasn't my fault
I mean helter skelter ?
Brown Acid.
to from 1976 to 1985
Check out Atomic Rooster- Sleeping For Years
Children of darkness and king rat is the only two songs that seems bad ass on this video
Try again on 1965. Listen to out of our tree by wailers
Damn Mudhoney would certainly wouldnt be lost if it existed in this era. Lol
heaviest list without black sabbath? A band which created HEAVY metal ?? Dont care if they are mainstream but they are the first for a reason.
🌞🔁🌎
and Helter Skelter?
Not even close to Blue Cheer's "Doctor Please", MC5's "Black to Comm", or Pink Floyd's "The Nile Song"
what about MC5 and The Stooges?
No you really got me?
That's 1964
check out caledonia by cromagnon for 1969
Nile song?
Sorry, distortions of darkness takes the cake for '69 :)
@@45overdrive I agree, good god I cannot stop listening to this song, it’s so good, so heavy
Easy Livin’ by Uriah Heep should of been on this and where is Deep Purple and Sabbath?
3:45 I feel like this is when it actually got heavy. As in todays standard that shit riff is still sludge
1970 and not Black Sabbath - maybe Iron Claw - Skullcrusher
Iron Claw would've definitely been a cool entry! Hasn't crossed my mind when making the list, though. My bad.
i would argue that boris the spider was the heaviest song of 1966
I thought 1968 would be Helter Skelter
Not even close to what the MC5, Blue Cheer, and even the Yardbirds were thrashing out that year!
In 1966. Shadows Of Knight's "Gonna Make You Mine" was WAY more brutal than Him and the Others: ua-cam.com/video/66wg6nEEunc/v-deo.html
Should’ve used 21t century schizoid man as 1969 and halter Skelter as 1968 and black sabbath as 1970
Where is The Who "The Ox" 1965 ,..and country Joe and the fish Superbird ??
Both not so heavy.. in my opinion
Helter Skelter is the best
I beg to say Peter gunn by Duane eddy would have to be the first
What about Black Sabbath Black Sabbath the first metal song 1970
Video description! Too mainstream for this list!
Buffalo!
slave of fear is literally black sabbath
high tide tho lol
No Helter skelter for 69? No Symptom of the universe for 75? mmmmmmm
Too mainstream for this list, nice picks tho!
Spirit in the sky or I’m alive is a better canadiates for 1969
Come and Get it is no more heavy than helter skelter!
But "Doctor Please" from Blue Cheer's debut album is 10 times heavier than "Helter Skelter"
No in a gadda da vida?
Too well known for this list!
@@45overdrive so?
@@KyleDesharnais so blue cheer is way better choice for '68. Heavier too.
@@45overdrive ehhhh
@@KyleDesharnais Bro spoke Hausa
Louie Louie 65 AND ESP 67 are not good choices in my mind because they are cover versions ..... for 65 i have no idea, but for 67 'Purple haze' and 'Interstellar overdrive' are maybe too
well-known for your list , 'Red sky at night' by the Accent could be ok
Dang was hoping to see helter Skelter
too mainstream for this list :)
