Helter Skelter should be first. You know it's the first heavy metal song anyway.
Music is some kind of art.

Top 10 would be tough, but I can definitely tell you that my numbers one and two would be:
 
1. Black Sabbath - Symptom of the Universe. Rawks
2. Black Sabbath - Under the Sun/Every Day Comes and Goes
 
2 of the heaviest songs ever. Sabbath would probably make up a good deal of this list. We could include Children of the Grave, Into the Void, Black Sabbath, Hole in the Sky, Wheel of Confusion/The Straightener...the list goes on and on.

Black Sabbath comes to mind first and foremost.

The "most heavy" tracks...
- N.I.B.
- Warning
- War Pigs
- Iron Man

just to name some...
To be the one who seeks so I may find .. (Metallica)

Kashmir seems pretty relevant as well. Even Dancing with the Moonlit Knight gets pretty heavy in the middle-ish section.  Can't forget to mention the latter part of The Musical Box; there's some crazy dark guitarring by Hackett there.

The first two parts of Larks' Tongues in Aspic, although not consistently heavy, contain some of the heaviest music pre thrash metal. Other things that come to mind (besides the obvious Black Sabbath) are Speed King by Deep Purple, Facelift by Soft Machine and a large percentage of Miles Davis' 70s catalogue.

Oh, and Sabbath's heaviest song must be Into the Void.

Surprisingly the band that came into my mind was The Who.

Won't Get Fooled Again
My Generation (Live at Leeds is even better)
The Real Me

That's my definition of heavy without the monotonous chugging and such.

Mainly I feel like a lot of the Italian bands are pretty dang heavy. And the song Sabbath Bloody Sabbath by Sabbath of course has a really heavy riff at the end.



And Pawn Hearts was pretty fkin heavy.
 
 
I mean, didn't any other bands hear song "Black Sabbath" and go "I want to make music heavier and scarier than that" and then actually get away with it? I want to find that really really early version of extreme metal. Haha
