A tradicional revista Metal Hammer, especializada em Heavy Metal, lançou uma edição celebrando a música dos anos 90.
Uma das atrações da matéria é uma lista com as 100 músicas que o pessoal da revista considera como as melhores de Metal da década.
Apesar de batizá-la como tal, diversos nomes que não são ligados ao gênero aparecem por lá, como The Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Guns N’ Roses, Pearl Jam e The Prodigy.
Você pode ver (e ouvir) a lista logo abaixo. Para ler a explicação de cada escolha, em Inglês, pode clicar aqui. A única regra aplicada à lista, segundo os criadores, é que um disco não poderia ter mais de uma música.
