The 50 Heaviest Songs Before Black Sabbath: #40-31
Guitar World counts down the heaviest songs before Black Sabbath. #50-41
34 - The Beatles, “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)” (1969)
John Lennon’s rarely heard lead guitar shines in this bluesy rocker from Abbey Road; the “heavy” part kicks in at the 4:37 mark, then builds and builds into something a twisted DJ would play as the pillars of the earth are tumbling down around him. Also, this song may have inadvertently started doom metal.
