Metal Hammer Says These Are The 100 Best Metal Songs of the 90s
Metal Hammer have released their list of ‘The 100 Best Metal Songs Of The 90s’. You can head over there to read the list with their explanations for each selection, or just view the list sans explanations below, courtesy of The PRP. Before losing your shit, you should note that MH limited themselves to one song per album… so, in other words, the appearance of Pantera’s “I’m Broken” means all other tracks from Far Beyond Driven were disqualified.
Spoiler alert: Korn’s “Blind” is #1, which invalidates the whole list for me. Maybe you’ll like it more.
