According to Loudwire: http://loudwire.com/30-best-metal-songs-2018



1. Judas Priest, "Lightning Strike"
If there was any question as to whether or not Judas Priest still have their chops, “Lightning Strike” proves that even 40-plus years after their inception, the band is still at the top of their game. The song fires right into an electric onslaught of raw heavy metal. With ferocious riffs and catchy hooks, it's the kind of song you just can't get out of your head. While “Lightning Strike” carries all of the time-tested hallmarks of vintage Judas Priest, it's still holds up as an extremely modern heavy metal hymn. Not that it even needs to be said, but Judas Priest are still reigning supreme as the gods of the metal.

I'll let the metal experts here discuss the validity of the rest of the list.

Well, like any "best of" list, it's highly subjective.

I've heard of maybe 6 or 7 of the bands and have ever only listened to 2 or 3.

Any idea how many of those 30 are American bands vs. European? Most of these lists have a very American-centric view.
