You may remember when UK based magazine, Metal Hammer, polled critics and musicians about the 100 best metal songs ever written. Naturally, the results were met with a roar amongst metal fans who agree to disagree. So what else was Metal Hammer to do, but poll their own readers to try and find the best metal song out there?
You can view the results below, and create your own (better) playlist for the weekend.
