Song #224

Metal Guru by T. Rex

It was released in 1972 in their album The Slider

Fun fact:

Bolan himself described the song's apparent religious references as this:

Is a festival of life song. I relate 'Metal Guru' to all gods around. I believe in a god, but I have no religion. With 'Metal Guru', it's like someone special, it must be a godhead. I thought how god would be, he'd be all alone without a telephone. I don't answer the phone any more. I have codes where people ring me at certain times.

Song #240

Hallowed Be Thy Name by Iron Maiden

It was released in 1982 in their album The Number of the Beast

Fun fact:  Allmusic has describes it as "perhaps the most celebrated of the band's extended epics; it's the tale of a prisoner about to be hanged, featuring some of Harris' most philosophical lyrics." Several band-members have since stated that it is one of their favourite tracks, with Bruce Dickinson describing it as "fantastic" and that performing it live is like "narrating a movie to the audience."
