Rolling Stone Reader Poll

According to Rolling Stone readers these are the Greatest Heavy Metal Albums of All Time:

1) Master Of Puppets - METALLICA
2) Paranoid - BLACK SABBATH
3) Black Sabbath - BLACK SABBATH
4) The Number Of The Beast - IRON MAIDEN
5) ...And Justice For All - METALLICA
6) Reign In Blood - SLAYER
7) Appetite For Destruction - GUNS N' ROSES
8) Metallica - METALLICA
9) Led Zeppelin II - LED ZEPPELIN
10) Ride The Lightning - METALLICA 


Not that I disagree with any of the albums on the list, well except for Justice, but there are far too many excluded, including two of The Big Four, Megadeth & Anthrax. With that being said I am not sure any Anthrax album would made the Top 10 list, but Megadeth could have an inclusion. I am glad to see Maiden and Slayer made the list as well.  A few others of note that could have been included: Judas Priest, Motorhead, Pantera, Ozzy, AC/DC, System of a Down-I could go on.....

HOWEVER-I found a much more inclusive list below at Metal Rules. Check these guys out-looks like they do most of there work for the love of metal!
