What decade from metal history has been its greatest so far? It's a debate whose answer will often depend on which year you personally discovered metal for the first time. If you were there from day one, how can you vote for anything other than the 70s, where Black Sabbath sparked and then shaped the genre as we know it?
If your first exposure to heavy music was stumbling into a record store in 1986 and laying you hands on Master Of Puppets, Reign In Blood and Somewhere In Time, chances are you'll pick the 80s as metal's finest showing.
