The end result of an 18,000-person poll asking metal minions to list their favourite hard rock or heavy metal songs from the late '60s through to 2001, THE TOP 500 HEAVY METAL SONGS OF ALL TIME features interviews with the bands that made the final heavy grade, gathering their recollections of creating these classic tracks. Dozens of top rockers have also been polled, and their lists occur throughout the book along with shots of rare single covers for the songs in question, plus countless quotes from such greats as Ozzy Osbourne, AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Metallica and more.
