Master of Puppets Voted Greatest Heavy Metal Album by Rolling Stone Readers -

Metallica's epic third studio album, 'Master of Puppets' has been voted the greatest heavy metal album of all time by readers of Rolling Stone Magazine.

Black Sabbath came in second & third with 'Paranoid' & their self-titled debut album, 'Black Sabbath' respectively.

In announcing the results of the poll, the editors of Rolling Stone wrote:

"Metal fans are a very passionate bunch. They're also very opinionated, so when we asked them to vote for their favourite metal albums we expected a huge response. We also expected a big debate about the very definition of 'heavy metal.' Some metal fans say that groups like Led Zeppelin and Guns N' Roses are metal. Others think that's completely insane. We aren't here to settle these debates. We're merely here to count the votes."

1. Metallica: Master of Puppets
2. Black Sabbath: Paranoid
