Guitar World songs lists (Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Metallica)

Lists by single critics or musicians, published in magazines or on websites, have lower priority. The amount of such lists would be impossible to handle.
(However, priority is given to single author lists from books, very famous music critics and artists with albums or songs ranked on Acclaimed Music. Single author lists are also more likely to get priority if they are not limited to a genre or artist.)

Hold on, the Metallica list is posted by "Guitar World staff", while the Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin lists are posted by single writers, so probably they should not be included at AM after all.
Everyone you meet fights a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.
