Rolling Stone Releases List of ‘The 100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time’

As you likely guessed from this story’s headline, Rolling Stone have released a list of ‘The 100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time.’ I tried to look it over but I got as far as number ninety-nine, fell over laughing, and moved on to other, more productive uses of my time.

While cutting-and-pasting the list from The PRP, however, I did notice the phrase “Pig Destroyer,” so it can’t be all bad.
