"Best Of" lists seem to be all the rage these days, and Metal Hammer is back with yet another one. This time they're looking at The 100 Best Metal Songs Of The 90s, with the caveat being that they could only choose one song per album from each artist. So you'll see some repeat artists in there.
My biggest problem here is that there's zero Nevermore on the list. I mean, come on. Dreaming Neon Black came out in 1999 and they're just gonna snuff "Beyond Within" like that? Check out the list with explanations here and come up with your own disagreements below.
