The behind the scenes chatter about production, songwriting, & “the times” lends a new dimension to an old show gimmick (“the XXX best YYY of ZZZ” list). And with cred like Slagel & Metal Blade have in spades (aces, of course), the guests filling in those vivid colors are top notch & informative. Really enjoying this & hope the quality maintains! Thank you!

I can’t think of a better person, deep in the creation of the art form and especially from behind the scenes to give us a list of 100 songs that DEFINE Heavy Metal. The first couple have me hooked and I look forward for 96 more!
