Metallica, Motorhead, Ozzy top Greatest Metal Songs poll

Metallica are metal masters, according to millions of fans around the globe – and – according to a new poll at Gibson.com.

The guitar maker recently called upon its editors, writers and readers to select the greatest metal songs of all time.

Metallica’s “Master Of Puppets” was selected the #1 track, with Motorhead, Ozzy and plenty of Black Sabbath backing it up.

Since the strategy was to focus on the heaviest of metal, Gibson opted to leave bands like Led Zeppelin and Queen in the hard rock camp and concentrate on the monster heavy material, so don’t expect to see those bands, and some others, on the list.
